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,

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.

Not what I expected, I felt she was never really there for me

I hired Ms. Ly based on the positive reviews I read on her. Over the initial call she seemed like she was a tough one and that is what I needed. She failed to answer my questions and concerns by email during my custody case. Many red flags but I trusted she would help. She told me she would call me a... day before my hearing to prep me and didn't. She tried prepping me the day of court in a matter of 5 minutes knowing I told her how unprepared I felt and how I lack verbal skill, I was honest about how I lack confidence to speak in courts and tend to not represent myself well. During her 5 minute prep she told me to answer yes or no only, not too much detail because she did not have time, I knew that day I would lose. She never once shared with me the other party's exhibits prior to court so I could prepare my defense, yet she shared mine with them. I lost my case because I was not represented at all. I went into the case afraid to lose if I was not represented well, instead I lost the case feeling not represented at all. Ms. Ly failed in so many ways, lack of communication was the biggest factor. In fact, I had to find out my case information through the clerks office public records to be up to date and ask her about it, like how the Temporary Restraining order was denied and she never took time to notify me, or how the judge wanted to see my son earlier and I had to ask Ms. Ly to please schedule. She tried to make it seem I had the wrong information to later say, yes the judge will see your son earlier and I will schedule. Even after losing and firing her I had 15 days from the day the judge signed the new order to provide the other party with information I would not know of if I hadn't gotten a copy of the new order myself from the clerks office as soon as it became available which was 8/30/21. Ms. Ly sent me the signed order on 9/14/21, it took her that long to provide me with the new order. I would not waste my time or money with her, definitely look elsewhere.

A True Blessing

Ms. Ly, is very straight forward! Our case is not over yet BUT, thus far, she has done an awesome job!!!!! She is worth every dollar. She is very honest and direct. I remember sitting in her office crying, after leaving her office, I felt full of hope. Thank you Ms. Ly :)
