Stacy Lynne Ortega

Came to our sessions unprepared. Unfair billing, paid for witnesses to be called that weren't. Biased on name knowing within the court.< Wanted to give my ex a 50/50 parenting plan when he worked 2nd shift and lived 45 min away. Took to long to come back with a recommendation, over 30 days and had... to be prompted by my lawyer.

I felt she was biased from the start towards my ex. After spending a few grand on her making sure he could flout the orders set forth, I finally wrote to the sitting judge to get out of case management with her. She only cost me money and didn't really help the situation at all. I would not recommend... her to anyone for any kind of help unless you have a bottomless pit of money.

worst experience ever. Stacy was hired as our LCM. She continued to want to meet separately with my ex and I, and would tell us different information, leading to more meetings. She felt it was too hostile for us to meet in the same room. You want hostile, tell parties different things. Just got ...a bill for 2 years ago. Have not received anything since then, was all paid up. I don't know what is going on, but that is ridiculous. Not a mathematician, but have never seen anything as confusing as the spreadsheet she sends out. Have had several people look at and they say they same thing. Invoice is better, but you have to watch it. Constantly receiving charges that were my exs. In the end, she just wanted to get paid. My two kids' and my exes and my issues were an inconvenience. We would get a final decision, and she wouldn't enforce it. Said she knew my ex was telling my son things he wasn't old enough to handle, but had no proof. Don't waste your time or money.

I hired her because I wanted to be represented by a woman and I also liked that her retainer fee was the lowest I could find in Wichita. I borrowed money from family and friends just to pay her in (full) each time vs. monthly payments and I did not get far in my case at all. I called her office cryi...ng because my ex who makes 6 figures didn't follow court orders and my children and I didn't have enough for groceries. The only concern she had was of me scaring off her new "assistant" I didn't qualify for foodstamps because there was an order regardless if it was enforced or not. Not only did she not care, she sent me an invoice and then threatened to withdraw from my case if I didn't pay her in full again. I thought maybe she was a racist, but after much investigating, I found she is just a good for nothing person to most people she deals with.

Stacy always kept the best interest of the child as her first priority. After being referred to her for Case Management, I wished I had retained her as my primary attorney. I was always kept informed every step of the process and I always felt that my case was a high priority for her and I was never ...pushed to the side. Her staff has always been extremely helpful and would help with questions as best they legally could and always in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Stacy to anyone who is looking for a very high quality attorney.
