Stacy E. Goodbread

I had a horrible experience with Stacey. She wasn't interested in calling me when i expressed i felt like verbal communication would help clarify the 2 months of emails and legal documents. Very arrogant, intolerant of questions, and rude. Claimed I accused her of malpractice because I asked questi...ons -for clarification, which i made clear i was confused and worried about. She's very abrupt and impatient during the stressful time of seeking divorce support, called me "combative" because I was stressed out about the confusion, implied i was stupid for asking a question she didn't like as she said, "Amber, nobody in my 30 years of practice has asked that." Don't know why she couldn't have just answered it instead of implied how stupid i was. Very unprofessional. Her harsh language and clear lack of time or interest with me lead me to accept her offer to drop me after which, she refused to represent me in the motion of withdrawal. I can understand why she wouldn't want to admit she called me combative and insisted she was going to drop me. Probably looks bad to the judge and on record, arguably neglectful. But that's the truth of how she handled it. On the positive side, she did refund my remaining retainer, but I would still not recommend her.

Faced with a tricky divorce, I couldn't have been in better hands with Stacy. She is tough and guides you with expertise that gets the job done. My ex played dirty tricks but I felt like we were always one step ahead of him. Even when I suggested certain courses of action she would be very honest wit...h what a judge would and would not entertain and each time we came out with a great result!

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!

The first time I meet with Stacy I knew right away she was the attorney I should of hired from the start. I had hired another attorney over two years ago and my case was barely moving. As you can imagine, I was frustrated and beside myself, I couldn't take anymore of the delay. The day after I ...hired Stacy I received confirmation she had already began working on my case and working to get my court date. I was elated! With-in the following months, I discovered she was always prepared and she remembered names, times and situations from the past. Let me be the first to tell you, this was extremely refreshing, since my last attorney never could keep up the details of my case. Stacy knew the law inside and out and honestly blew the opposing counsel out of the water with her knowledge. She has fire, drive, and dedication. She obviously loves what she does because shows. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner, because she worth every penny!! Thank you for all your hard work, I can't express how happy you have made me and my son. From the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you!!!!

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.
