An Excellent Attorney & Highly Recommended

Ok….hope you like. Attorney Stacy Ly and her team helped me through a messy divorce and an international custody battle that had been going on for years! Stacy was superb, very thorough in all the pleadings, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every aspect. She was overly diligent and her ...attention to detail was unsurpassed. I have used multiple attorneys in the past and this relationship has proven to exceed my expectations. She is well organized, easy to talk to and an all-around phenomenal person. Her entire law firm always answered my questions and gave me objective counsel I knew I could trust. Her hard work resulted in a favorable outcome in all my cases in which she represented me. She fights hard for her clients and is a true honest attorney. If myself or anyone I know ever needed anything, she is the only person I would use or recommend. I could not have asked for a better attorney. She was a pleasure to have on my side and I would highly recommend Stacy Ly!

Not what I expected, I felt she was never really there for me

I hired Ms. Ly based on the positive reviews I read on her. Over the initial call she seemed like she was a tough one and that is what I needed. She failed to answer my questions and concerns by email during my custody case. Many red flags but I trusted she would help. She told me she would call me a... day before my hearing to prep me and didn't. She tried prepping me the day of court in a matter of 5 minutes knowing I told her how unprepared I felt and how I lack verbal skill, I was honest about how I lack confidence to speak in courts and tend to not represent myself well. During her 5 minute prep she told me to answer yes or no only, not too much detail because she did not have time, I knew that day I would lose. She never once shared with me the other party's exhibits prior to court so I could prepare my defense, yet she shared mine with them. I lost my case because I was not represented at all. I went into the case afraid to lose if I was not represented well, instead I lost the case feeling not represented at all. Ms. Ly failed in so many ways, lack of communication was the biggest factor. In fact, I had to find out my case information through the clerks office public records to be up to date and ask her about it, like how the Temporary Restraining order was denied and she never took time to notify me, or how the judge wanted to see my son earlier and I had to ask Ms. Ly to please schedule. She tried to make it seem I had the wrong information to later say, yes the judge will see your son earlier and I will schedule. Even after losing and firing her I had 15 days from the day the judge signed the new order to provide the other party with information I would not know of if I hadn't gotten a copy of the new order myself from the clerks office as soon as it became available which was 8/30/21. Ms. Ly sent me the signed order on 9/14/21, it took her that long to provide me with the new order. I would not waste my time or money with her, definitely look elsewhere.

I went in for consultation and she told me she could help me but I did not have a good case on getting some sort of restrictions put on my daughter's father for his drinking problem due to his record not having a DUI and my lack of proof. Her attitude was very cold and rude in my opinion. She made me... feel as though my case was not important and she was too busy for something like my issue. I decided to proceed without her and used a public attorney who was available on my court date and she was able to get me a restriction for the drinking problem and it was approved by the judged easily without having the DUI or proof he had a problem.

I offered my time and I did a consultation with you FOR FREE. I haven't charged you any $$$. I also told you that I was not available to go to court with you because I already have other client's who did sign a contract, paid their retainer fee, and they expected me to be in court on their case. I cannot cancel another client's court hearing to go to your hearing. I am very happy that you found another lawyer who had the time to handle your case. The only thing I did for you was a consultation and I told you to find another lawyer. So, because I couldn't take your case, you gave me one star.
