"Cold, Dismissive, and Lacked Empathy During a Critical Time"

I worked with Stacy during an extremely sensitive and high-stakes custody situation. Instead of bringing clarity and support to the process, she came across as cold, dismissive, and disinterested. I did not feel heard or understood at any point during the experience. She made assumptions without p...roperly reviewing evidence or asking questions for context. I had hoped for someone who would approach the situation with fairness and compassion—especially when a child's well-being was involved—but I was met with indifference and what felt like bias. It’s incredibly disheartening when a professional in a position of trust treats families with such a lack of empathy. I would not recommend her to anyone navigating an already emotionally exhausting process.

Outstanding Family Attorney

First I want to thank Stacy for the win in my son's custody case. She was very hands on to all of my son's needs. She answers and responds in a timely manner no matter the time of day. The confidence she exudes was very reassuring to our case! She exceeded my son's expectations. I highly recommend Mr...s. Stacy!

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.

Replied last January 06, 2025

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 In 2024, I have withdrawn from 10 cases for nonpayment.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?

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.

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!
