Stacy ly is a thief of a lawyer

I called Stacy Ly for my divorce she was the first attorney I called, she sounded tough and asked the hard questions. I paid my $1,000 retainer, and my $500 a month for a year. Every time I had a court date I was never prepped with what to … More Stacy is a very unprofessional. demeaning toward...s me and did not show interest on my case. She was not prepared and did not properly argue. My consultation felt more like an argument, my current order is dated from 2012,

"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.

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 In 2024, I have withdrawn from 10 cases for nonpayment.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

Awful Experience

I am devastated by my experience with Stacy Ly. From the start, she seemed more interested in billing hours than representing my case. She missed crucial deadlines, including the filing of essential documents, which led to my case being dismissed. During a critical court hearing, she showed up unp...repared, leaving me to explain my situation while she sat silent. I lost everything—financially and emotionally—because of her negligence. When I reached out for updates, I often received vague responses or no reply at all. I urge anyone considering her services to think twice. You deserve a lawyer who will fight for you and communicate clearly. Unfortunately, that’s not what I experienced. Save yourself the heartache and look elsewhere.

This is absolutely false. For my entire career, I have never missed a filing deadline that led to dismissal of my client's case. All my clients have direct access to my cell phone. I don't know who this person is therefore I cannot even explain the situation. The allegation doesn't even make sense. In one hand the case was tried, and the other hand the case was dismissed.
