Joy Dracup Stanley

We retained Joy Stanley to represent us in a family law matter involving custody concerns. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing, and we terminated representation before the case concluded. Communication Issues: 1. Failed to copy both parents on email correspondence despite rep...eated requests 2. Did not meet with us prior to the hearing to discuss legal strategy 3. Provided no guidance on next steps or options during an emotionally difficult time Case Management Concerns: 1. We were not informed about filing additional documentation with the court 2. A settlement offer we requested be delivered to the opposing party was not transmitted 3. Important facts about the case (including the other party's history and alleged violations) were not presented at the hearing 4. Continued with legal strategy after an ex-parte motion failed without discussing alternatives or potential consequences Professionalism: 1. When concerns were raised, we felt blamed rather than heard 2. No accountability or apology was offered after an unfavorable outcome 3. Communication felt dismissive of our specific situation Financial Impact: The representation cost exceeded $30,000 with results that did not meet our expectations. We ultimately felt that breakdowns in communication and case strategy significantly impacted the outcome. Families facing difficult legal matters deserve responsive representation and clear communication about their case. There are far better attorneys.

Joy Dracup Stanley is an excellent lawyer . She guided me with lots of empathy patience and incredible knowledge through the most terrible time in my life and made me come out of it safe. She faught for me and my rights very professionally and with all her heart. I cannot thank her enough for her di...ligent work .I wouldn't be in this place without her. Thank you so much Joy !!

My divorce was being handled by another attorney who advised me that there were certain things worth over $300,000 that could not be included in my divorce judgment that I felt were important to include. I consulted with Joy Stanley and she told me with 100% certainty that she could include them, an...d the other attorney was wrong. Joy then carefully reread my prenup and found that two other items, worth more than $200,000 that my wife had in her possession were legally mine. My divorce also needed to be finalized before the end of 2018 due to the change in IRS regulations. Joy Stanley was a pleasure to work with, saved me over $500,000 and completed my divorce with a signed judgment in December, 2018, which benefited me for income tax purposes. One word to describe Joy and her family law practice - Fantastic.

In the first 3 minutes of my phone conversation with Joy Stanley I new I had found my attorney. Her passion, fierceness, devotion and knowledge was exactly what I needed in my corner. I also remember my first visit to Joy's office when I witnessed how meaningful the case was to her, I knew that her... passion would win my case, she believed in what we were doing, just as I did, and of course we won with ease. Working with Joy and her excellent staff was actually a pleasure. I felt safe and confident because I knew I was working with the best. A team that was incredibly determined and prepared. I felt that Joy and her staff really loved the work they did, took pride in it and enjoyed the process. In the courtroom Joy is fierce but at the same time commands respect even from the opposing attorneys because of her intelligence and acumen. I will continue to work with this firm and recommend them with great confidence. I promise you will not be disappointed with all that they invest in you and your case. I am so appreciative that I found them and I want to share that with others.

Joy Stanley is a fierce, passionate, intelligent, and caring Attorney with a wealth of experience and knowledge as well keen insights that give her an edge over others. I have worked with her on a few occasions and her skills are beyond anything I have ever seen in this industry! A true warrior for... who will make you feel confident and get the job done at the same time! Joy Stanley is an OUTSTANDING lawyer. She made me feel strong when I was felt very weakened by relationships gone awry. Joy and her incredible staff held my hand through difficult times in my life! In both instances upon hiring her services, she fought for me like no other. Her passion is contagious, and proved to be triumphant in both instances. One of the attributes Joy has is her integrous deliberate manner which commands respect from all including the opposition. I highly recommend Joy D. Stanley to anyone and everyone who needs a family lawyer. Simply put, she is truly outstanding with a hunger to win, protect, and support you through your legal battles.
