Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Stacy Goodbread. Stacy did an outstanding job of handling the divorce/custody matter for my son. It was a contentious and long drawn out process which she navigated extremely well. She strongly advocated for my son and his children to obtain a positive result. It was a pleas...ure to watch her skills in the courtroom.

Not recommended

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.

EXCELLENT FAMILY LAW Attorney

Mrs. Goodbread represented me in the most professional manner for a child custody case. If you want a supportive, knowledgeable, caring, attorney, then Stacey Goodbread is the one you want to hire !!! She is the BEST and results driven ! Can’t thank her and her staff for all their hard work.

Stacy is the best attorney

I hired Stacy to help me with my ex husband. She did an excellent job for me and my children. She is a Pitbull in the court room, I couldn't have ask for better representation. Hiring her is the best decision anyone can make.
