Don't recommend

I had a simple divorce case with child custody. Ms. Ly was ok, but she took her time with my case. At my first court date, she didnt even recognize who i was. Ms. Ly was not even prepared for the court date, she showed up really late, and didnt have any info on my terms and what we discussed in her o...ffice weeks ago. I understand one has many clients to represent, but not so many to where you don't know who they are or what they want. I also felt like i was always contacting her to hear updates on my case. Ms. Ly seemed too busy to keep up with her clients. She is an ok lawyer, however i dont recommend her.

This divorce was simple with no issues reserved for trial. I am happy that this client still got what she paid for-- a divorce. There are No complaints about me overcharging or not calling client back when client had a question.

If you want to have custody of your children, keep searching for a different lawyer!!!

Stacy was unprofessional, always late to court and mediation dates. She is cold and doesn't care about the people or childern involved (she has no childern so how could she?).. but she definitly will care about her payments! I initially thought this "to-the-point" attitude would be a great trait in a... lawyer, but she lack the passion to help her clients so it makes this a pretty much useless trait. She would constantly recommend ar just accept opposing council's suggestions and wouldn't even put up a counter-argument. I worked hard in my child custody case to detail evidence and she just kind of "showed up." I never felt we were on the same side. Please don't waste all that money on her.

I am sorry that this Client is mad about the outcome of her case. I had to withdraw due to nonpayment and I expect these negative comments from the few cases that I have been forced to withdraw from. I offered a monthly payment plan instead of high upfront retainer to represent a low income client and I get slammed online with such rude comments about my own personal life because the client cannot keep her end of the bargain...

Best attorney ever!

Stacy was just a blessing. She handled my case very professionally. I never had a problem getting a hold of her and she always returned my phone calls promptly. It makes a huge difference if you find the right attorney to be on your side. My case was a little more complicated since we had childre...n and property involved but never once did I feel like we weren't up for the battle. Stacy was more than prepared to help me fight for my children and our home. I can't thank her enough for all that she's done. My ex and his lawyer never had a chance with Stacy on our side. Thank you Stacy!

Great attorney

Stacy was great and helpful. She help me with my case and my husbands case. She was very helpful and we got to see my stepson again. She's helped me several times and I recommended her to friends and they agree with me!

Hardest time of my life

Ms. Stacy Ly has helped me through the toughest period of my life. She was there to listen, sympathize, and most importantly, help me keep custody of my son. Every kind of methodic and devious action my ex-husband exercised, Ms. Ly counseled me on ways to avoid a negative outcome. Simultaneously, ...she worked on my case and kept me updated with her progress. I was always able to reach her with no problem for any legal advice. And for a woman facing the possibility of losing her one and only son, I am very grateful to find an attorney like her. I told Ms. Ly that gaining custody of my son is the most important factor in my case. She gave me realistic options. I recommend Ms. Ly for anyone who needs representation.
