Top notch lawyer

I am very pleased with Ms. Ly’s handing of my divorce. From the very first meeting, Stacy took the time to answer all my questions - no matter what, or when I asked them. She gave her honest opinion and guided me in the right direction. I highly recommend her.

Great Lawyer I would recommend to anyone

Stacy Ly helped me with my divorce that my ex-wife was trying to make very difficult for me. Stacy provided me with numberous resources that helped me track her down as my case was very time sensitive.She is very punctual straight to the point and compassionate all at the same time. Im glad I went wi...th Stacy.

She only cares about getting paid

She got my case won. But she was ill prepared. She didn't have anything ready at the timeof my trial. I could have done this case on my own better than this. All she cared about was the money. We had an arrangement set up for payments and she had called me 2 weeks before the payment was due to tell m...e she got a rushed court date. It was a heabeus courps against my ex who kidnapped my daughter across state lines. It was an urgent case and she knew it. Anyway she calls me and and tells me if I don't pay her that day she would change my court date. Because she was worried about not getting paid after the trial .. I had to call her and argue my case stating that we had a signed agreement with the dates for payments I had already paid everything early. That was agreed apon for that month. I had to tell her that this involved a 5 year old child and remind her what her flipping job was and she wanted to push a court date back because other clients had stiffed her in the past. I had to tell her that I should not have to be punished for othersomeone actions of her past especially since we had a signed legal agreement. But yes she threatened to change the court date over 750 dollars that she got paid also before the said time on our agreement. She was willing to risk my 5 year olds life for a pay day.... very unprofessional she also promised to get my attorney fees granted to be paid back by the losing party and it was granted that I was to get my attorney fees back. It took her over a month to get me a signed court order scanned and sent through email and I still haven't received my original certified copy of the decree. This case was back in August.... it's Nov and I've had to reach out to her severaltimes to get the proper paper work.. and she also told me she wouldn't presue from get my athorny and court fees. Because she has credit card debt and it would cost her more money to her daggum job she was already paid to do! And I'm sure she will post under here about how she's justified in some way and say. This client paid me to get her child back and I did. But she was also paid to do sooo much more. She only got 2 stars because she won a case that was already a walking in the park. She got me a court date in less than a months time but not without me calling every other day to make sure she did her job..... if I even lived in tx I would never hire her again.

Will & Medical Power of Attorney/Family Case

Stacy Ly was the attorney I hired to prepare my Will and Medical Power of Attorney documents. She explained in detail the importance of each document and what was required of me in order to make my wishes known regarding my Assets and Health decisions. This process was straight forward and took one o...ffice visit to complete. Stacy previously assisted my family with a Family case and I was very pleased with her results and professionalism in that legal case that I decided to seek her services for my personal needs. I was present during the court hearings for that Family case therefore I feel entitled to report my observations. Stacy always appeared ready and eager to get her point across with respect and always made herself available to answer our questions quickly and provide us with updates regarding the case. I would hire Stacy Ly again without a doubt.
