Stacy E. Goodbread

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!!!!

Stacy is an outstanding Attorney and I would highly recommend her. She was extraordinarily professional from the first consultation and it was clear that even though she is a busy and successful lawyer my case would be a priority. She came highly recommended from a friend who was also going throu...gh the same process I was about to start and was extremely happy with Stacy and her staff. In my own case, I was a bit distraught and unsure since I was still reeling from having completely unexpected and contentious divorce proceedings filed against me. She was professional and reassuring that WE could get through it. I immediately hired her to handle the divorce and have been pleased ever since. She rapidly and efficiently filed motions, followed up with the opposing attorney, and drove my case to a positive resolution. She organized the required family study, she filed the appropriate motions, and proposed both mediation and nominated the areas finest mediators who cleared their schedules to work with Stacy. Stacy accompanied me on two separate mediation efforts and remained constant and steadfast throughout the all day negotiations despite the difficult personalities representing the other side. She was patient and helpful throughout those processes and actually had significantly more knowledge than opposing counsel and helped him understand the intricacies of our case and the most expeditious way to come to resolution. Throughout the mediation efforts, Stacy was clearly willing and able to take these proceedings to trial. The other side and the mediators realized that would have resulted in another victory for her. But, she was focused on my objective to find middle ground through mediation and avoid the family pain of a trial. Both times the mediator (two separate, excellent professionals) praised her skill, ability, and willingness to effectively find common ground, create necessary written agreements on the spot, and eventually drive a resolution that was positive for her client (me) and acceptable to the opposition. Stacy and her outstanding staff then went to work creating and verifying the documentation required to codify and conclude the agreements we reached through mediation. This required a lot of effort and follow up and Stacy and her folks continually followed up with opposing counsel -- who was difficult to deal with. Despite that, they got all the requisite documents we needed completed in record time and was prepared to go to court to finalize the divorce ahead of schedule. She personally accompanied me to the courthouse to complete the process and was kind and understanding of the gravity and finality of the proceedings. The other side did not appear. Stacy has continued to advise me and my family concerning the implementation of all the agreements and has provided excellent advice as the other side has tried to find ways around the agreements made in mediation. She has sent countless emails, official correspondence, and spent time on the phone to work with opposing counsel to provide the right documents and to ensure compliance with the agreements she helped negotiate. I will continue to rely on Stacy going forward and when I have additional family law requirements she will be the first person I call for help. Further, if my friends, business associates, or neighbors need a top drawer family lawyer Stacy will get my strongest referral. In short, Stacy Goodbread and her exceptional staff guided me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. They were professional, effective, efficient, as well as kind and caring. Stacy and her team made a really challenging situation more bearable. In the end, though this is not where I would have wanted to find myself, Stacy's work meant in the end my interests were protected and my family and I will be forever grateful to her.

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.
