Efficient and compassionate

I really appreciated everything Stacy did when I took my ex back to court over noncompliance of our decree. She not only helped me, but she helped my ex too (he was not well represented by his attorney). I don’t really have words to express how grateful I am - while I was taking him to court, we sti...ll try to have a positive relationship for the sake of our child, and I was just so grateful she didn’t railroad him. She could have easily. ******** Thank you, Stacy, for respecting my ex, and helping that poor attorney of his who was pretty much useless. Thanks for getting me everything I wanted, and also showing compassion at the same time for the people I love. It meant the world to me. You came highly recommended to me for being a bull dog - but you’re also a bull dog with a lot of class. And that’s exactly what *we* needed.

You NEED her on your side. Go with the Queen Bee!

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!

Tells it like it is and knows what she is doing!

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.

Not just a wonderful lawyer...but a great person too!

Stacy Goodbread is a tiger of a lawyer! My divorce situation was one where I needed a hero...and I found her! Her knowledge of the law, dedication to me, and spunkiness won our case! She was my rock... and continues to be that for many of my friends and family that I have referred them to. I alwa...ys knew she was on my side and guided me through some of the darkest days of my life! Even to this day we keep in touch...she doesn't just care for you during your case...the relationship continues...if you want a winner she is your girl!
