Todd Allen Stahly

Todd Stahly and his associate Brittany Frisbie were engaged to represent me in a family court case for additional parenting time. During the 8 months of their engagement, I paid them $11,000 in fees. In exchange, the only substantive step they managed to advance for my case was to file a motion for... the appointment of a CFI. I was advised by both Todd and Brittany to pursue discovery. The opposing party, who was per se, was able to easily deflect the motion, and Stahly and Co then advised me to dismiss the motion after I had spent thousands of dollars in fees. Subsequently, they billed me hundreds of dollars for a letter explaining an issue in my case that could have been addressed with me in a 10-minute phone call. When I called to discuss my concerns with their billing and communication practices, neither Todd or Brittany had the integrity to pick up the phone and discuss my frustrations with their representation.

I hired Todd Stahly to represent me in a very lengthy divorce process. I paid him over $100K and never once felt like he was on my side, as expressed in other reviews. In my opinion, he was unprepared at trial and not aggressive. In a two day trial, Todd only made one objection. I believe he is m...ore of a mediating attorney than a trial attorney. I found it hard to communicate with him and get clear answers to my questions throughout the year he represented me. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and I didn't know what to expect. I went on to hire another attorney after Todd, and my experience was very pleasant. I know now that working with an attorney doesn't have to be a difficult or disappointing experience, when you hire the right attorney. I would not recommend attorney Todd Stahly.
