Stacy E. Goodbread

Stacy represented me in my divorce with children. This was far from an easy case, but with Stacy's guidance and tenacity, we secured 50/50 possession and a fair split for this Dad. I wouldn't have wanted any other attorney by my side. Gentlemen, if your case ever makes it in front of the judge, yo...u'll want a female attorney that can ask your ex the tough questions without looking like a man bullying a lady. Stacy was able to make her points in ways a male attorney simply couldn't. A divorce sometimes take unexpected turns down some nasty paths. Stacy helped navigate through the muck while never losing sight of the primary objective. She is an experienced litigator that knows the local judges(a huge +), a street fighter when necessary, charms her audience in court, and a highly skilled negotiator and advisor. On occasion, we all let emotion drive our decisions. A great thing about Stacy is that she will be frank with you if you're being unreasonable or irrational in your expectations. Lastly, I've also been on the other side in a case where Stacy was opposing counsel. Trust me...you NEED her on your side. I highly recommend Stacy Goodbread. The choice is an easy one. Go with the Queen Bee!

After consulting with a few attorneys, I met with Mrs. Goodbread. During the consultation, she didn't sugarcoat anything and told me exactly what to expect during my divorce. I decided then that she was the best person to represent me and cancled the other consultations I had scheduled. It was the... best decision I've made during my divorce. As a man, facing custody & spousal support issues, I allowed the internet to form my opinion of what was fair, but Mrs. Goodbread knew better and not only did she fight to get what I thought was fair, but didn't stop until we settled on what she knew was fair. The outcome of my mediation was far better than I expected and I owe that all to her. She ensured that my rights with my children were protected in ways I never thought of. She has always responded to any questions I've had even on weekends. Mrs. Goodbread was a blessing in a time of great uncertainty.

The only reason I gave 5 stars is more was not an option. In my career I deal with attorneys all the time and Stacy is fantastic. I represented me in a divorce and child custody case. My favorite thing about Stacy is she is very down to earth and will tell you the truth weather you want to hear it... or not. I especially like how blunt she can be, I didn't want anything sugar coated (sometimes you need to hear it)but she never talked down to me. I felt she was truly on my side, not just trying to collect my money. She worked with me best she could to keep fees reasonable and the outcome was way better then I expected. I have full custody of my son (I am a man in Texas) and got out with my credit in tact. Her paralegal, Jenna, is also fantastic, and helps to keep clients up to date. If you need a family law attorney, stop shopping and call Stacy now.

July 2016 I hired Stacy for what I assumed would be standard establishment of paternity. As a Veteran and someone who has never had any negative legal interactions I was completely unprepared for what ensued. What I failed to realize, at the time, was that the other parent did not have intentions of ...willingly allowing me to play a role in my child's life. This began a year long campaign in which I had to defend every aspect of my life. Any father going through the family court system will quickly realize that they will be be disadvantaged. This requires patience, tenacity, and the willingness to fight and prove that you are someone that deserves to be in your child's life. Stacy is the single reason I was able to succeed at preventing the other parent from continuing to alienate me. Stacy refused to allow this to happen. From day one she filed motions and compelled the other side to comply with our court orders or risk litigation. Stacy never allowed me to be taken advantage of and refused to allow me to give up hope, even when I became hopeless. Ultimately, Stacy was able to mediate a settlement with the other side and got me a very favorable outcome. I would never want anyone else to defend me in family court. Stacy and her entire office made my case their business and I felt like family. I am eternally grateful for Stacy and her wonderful staff.

I'm not sure there are enough words to describe our gratitude towards Stacy. I am a step parent to 2 amazing children. A few years after she handled my husbands divorce - We had an emergency situation in which we needed to file for immediate custody of the kids. The other half of the situation was... a very dangerous and unstable one. Without hesitation, Stacy immediately went to trial for us to obtain these emergency orders. I don't think we even expected it to happen as fast as it did. Knowing these 2 kids were in a safe environment 24/7 with us was a very comforting feeling. In the year following that, we went through all of the motions to obtain full custody. What could have been a very stressful year for us, was made much easier because of Stacy. Her quick responses, knowledge, and advice were very helpful in getting us through that year. She is exactly what you should be looking for in a lawyer. Responsive, aggressive, and fights for you. 2 years later, we have 2 very happy children. They are in a stable home with 2 very loving and responsible parents. What she has done for our family is priceless. The fact that these kids can now truly be themselves and can feel safe every day is something that I will forever be grateful to Stacy for. I highly recommend Stacy Goodbread and we will continue to utilize her expertise and knowledge with future concerns. I believe she truly does put you first and has a genuine passion for what she does.
