Best of the best!

Stacey represented me in my divorce case recently. As someone who has been in the legal field and worked for attorneys for many years, I couldn't have been more impressed with Stacey's her legal expertise, her ability to communicate all of my options and things to consider in my divorce settlement, a...nd the level of care she gave me. From my experience, she's not only an excellent attorney but a person of high moral character. She's the best!

She saved me

Stacey did a fantastic job for me. I was falsely accused of a sex crime and she knew it. I was found not guilty because of her expertise on the matter. I called many lawyers before her and she was the first to tell me that she would fight for me and she did. Without her i would be another innocent pe...rson in jail for a crime they did not commet.

DIVORCE

Mrs. Schlimmer, did a very poor job with my divorce did not follow through with paper work cause lot of harm and hardships to myself and family. Sent other cases to other people home with my paperwork. Maybe easy case like tickets she maybe good at but when comes to getting her head into it she is no...t good.

Divorce

Stacey did an awesome job with my divorce. I felt like she took an ugly situation and turned it around to my favor. She knows the law and how to handle difficult situations in the courtroom situations. I trusted her and she came through for me. She returned my calls and emails in a timely manner ...and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would go back to Stacey in a heart beat for any of my legal needs.

Divorce, traffic and an ordinance violation...

I return to Stacey Schlimmer whenever i need representation. She has helped me with legal documents, represented me in court and is now guiding me through a divorce. She has a huge heart and is super capable.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
