Posted by Krystal | September 29, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

This is the absolute best lawyer to have on your side!

Going through a tricky divorce, other lawyers that I consulted with told me that I was in a really bad spot and justice was not going to be able to be served in this divorce. Stacy took the time to dig deep into the facts and worked MIRACLES! She was supportive and personable and I never for a seco...nd regretting hiring her on the spot. She is the best bang for your buck and is an absolute bulldog in the court room! She is level headed and knows this process like the back of her hand. She cares about the outcome and her staff is also very attentive and patient. There were a bunch of bumps in the road that Stacy and her team smoothed out and I could not be happier!! For such a stressful and high-emotional experience Stacy really put things into perspective and calmed my worries. I would without a doubt, hire her again if I had to relive this process over again!

Happy family ending!

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.

Outstanding attorney!

I used Stacy to help resolve a child support issue with my ex-husband. I must say I was very impressed with how she handled my case from beginning to end. She is extremely professional and knows family law inside and out. Her office runs so smoothly and kept me very well informed. She is highly re...spected by her fellow attorneys, as well as the Judges. I honestly felt like my ex didn't stand a chance against her and I was right. She was unshakable. If you have a contested Family Law case, don't look anywhere else. You won't be disappointed.

perhaps the worst lawyer in san antonio

I went to Ms. Goodbread on recommendation She turned out to be one of the most unresponsive lawyers I have ever seen. She is charming and smart but don't be fooled she is not a good lawyer for divorce and if you are male stay away from her. She is unreachable takes long vacations and generally do...es not give a crap except for money. STAy AWAY from her. let me and my $20000 useless dollars tell you so

Amazing Lawyer

Stacy is the best lawyer you could ask for. She has been so great in every possible way. I've always been kept up to date on my case and she has been a very trustworthy lawyer. The only reason I didn't put 'excellent' on every option is because I am doing this review on my phone and it wouldn't let m...e. Go to Stacy. You will not be disappointed.
