"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.

Thank you for everything you are doing for my family. I know you are the best. I personally appreciate you now, then and no matter what happens in the future for helping me and my family. God Bless you and your team for all you do!

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 In 2024, I have withdrawn from 10 cases for nonpayment.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

I went in for consultation and she told me she could help me but I did not have a good case on getting some sort of restrictions put on my daughter's father for his drinking problem due to his record not having a DUI and my lack of proof. Her attitude was very cold and rude in my opinion. She made me... feel as though my case was not important and she was too busy for something like my issue. I decided to proceed without her and used a public attorney who was available on my court date and she was able to get me a restriction for the drinking problem and it was approved by the judged easily without having the DUI or proof he had a problem.

I offered my time and I did a consultation with you FOR FREE. I haven't charged you any $$$. I also told you that I was not available to go to court with you because I already have other client's who did sign a contract, paid their retainer fee, and they expected me to be in court on their case. I cannot cancel another client's court hearing to go to your hearing. I am very happy that you found another lawyer who had the time to handle your case. The only thing I did for you was a consultation and I told you to find another lawyer. So, because I couldn't take your case, you gave me one star.
