Why I Do Not Recommend Stacy Ly for Family Law Cases

Stacy Ly represented me in a custody case. Family law cases are sensitive and must be handled with the highest level of ethics and care. However, my experience was painful and traumatic. I do not recommend her, especially for complex cases, as she lacks empathy for her clients and is not adequately p...repared to defend them. She remained silent while the opposing attorney defamed and demeaned me. I never missed a payment, yet her incompetence and lack of empathy ultimately forced me to terminate her services. She caused me significant harm in every way.

This post is in 2025. I haven't had a client terminate my services in 2025 or 2024. I have not had to give my cases to another attorney to represent my client. In 2024, I have withdrawn from 10 cases for nonpayment. If this case was tried and you don't like the outcome, I cannot make a Judge change her or his mind. If the case wasn't tried, then we just filed petition, gathered docs and did discovery, and went to mediation... no opposing counsel can demean you in these stages. Every mediation we do is via zoom now. Was my legal services terminated for nonpayment and you then cannot hire another lawyer OR was this case actually tried and you didn't like the outcome?

i am her client

Stacy is a very professional lawyer, she help me got my case done the right way. she is easy to communicate with, anything happen in the process, she will reach out and let me know what is going on, and react fast. as her professional quality, she is not just helping me with the job she needs to be d...one, she also think for me, remind me all the rights that i deserved. she is also a good listener and care about my motion when we get together talk about my case. family zhuama is painful to deal with. hopefully i will see her but not seeing her again.

Good and confident

I hired Stacy last minute when I thought i had lost hope. My last attorney was not looking at my best interest and had been led by my ex's attorney. I was not happy with the outcome and consulted with a few other attorneys but they did not seem to care and didnt look thoroughly thru my case. Right... away Stacy noticed and found things that my other attorney didnt help me with and was confident that she was able to help me. She was direct and straightforward and helped me soo much with following the order and visitation she always made herself available anytime I needed to talk. .Many thanks to Stacy Ly for her good knowledge on Family Law and her confident to handle tough opponent lawyers.

Good and Confident Family Attorney

I have completed a MSA and t was coming to the end of my divorce decree draft. My last attorney was not looking at my interest and have been led by my ex-wife's attorney. I was not happy with the outcome and consulted a few top attorney but they did not look through my case thoroughly and concluded t...hat everything is finalized. I finally found Stacy and she take a quick look at my case and was confident that she was able to help me. I fired my attorney immediately and engaged her on the spot. She set up a second mediation, fought for my entitlement which my previous attorney has overlooked and changed the draft on the divorce decree to protect my interest. Many thanks to Stacy Ly for her good knowledge on Family Law and her confident to handle tough opponent lawyer.
