My mother was Stacy's client and had a complicated case that required post conviction relief. Stacy went above and beyond in helping my mom with her very convoluted case. She was always extremely responsive and deeply knowledgeable about all things immigration in LA. She is straightforward and trustw...orthy - we are in need of more people like her in the immigration field.

I was ordered deported and on an order of supervision since 2007. I was referred to Stacy by another immigration lawyer saying that that Stacy specializes in complex cases and I cannot thank her enough. It took 4 long years ( due to covid too ), but she was able to pull through and help overturn my d...eportation and able to secure my citizenship. I am forever grateful to you Stacy and also to Yadira for always being on top of things.

Background: I hired Stacy for citizenship application which supposed to be straightforward process. But my case had a twist in it which can potentially had really bad consequence. After working with Stacy and get my approval, here is why i would recommend her as your immigration lawyer in a heartbeat...: Experienced: When i consulted with Stacy, i knew she was a seasoned lawyer with lots of experience. She is confident, she knows the immigration law like the back of her hand. To be honest, I consulted other lawyers and none of them had experience or gut to handle the worst possible consequence. But Stacy had! She gave me a clear road map and Plan B for worst case scenario! Stacy was exactly the lawyer i was looking for, not only helping with the paperwork, but had a plan to fight for me under the worst circumstance. Responsive: Whenever i emailed Stacy, she usually responded within 24 hours. No matter how small the question was, she had always been responsive which gave me great comfort. Caring and Respectful: For sure I was not Stacy’s only client. However, I was always surprised by Stacy because she remembered everything about my case every time we talked. This made me believe Stacy really cares for her client and is always prepared for the client. Stacy is the lawyer you want to hire to get things right! If anyone ask for a good immigration layer, Stacy is the the lawyer i completely trust!

Back ground: I was ordered deported by an immigration judge and on 3 occasions just missed ICE raids. My situation seemed hopeless and everything that PRIOR lawyers did was useless and a waste of money. I have been a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) since I was 3 years old but in 2006 I was convicted... of CA PC 487 and PC 459.. After my release from a two year prison sentence I was transferred to ICE for removal proceedings. I was charged with having an aggravated felony! At trial, the immigration judge order me removed for LIFE!! I of course appealed and when that appeal failed I appealed again! and then again!! (If you are reading this then you know it cost a fortune.) I maxed out my credit and nothing was working! Then I found an attorney that specializes in 9th Circuit cases and she told me about a brilliant lawyer named Stacy Tolchin, they met at a conference and URGED me to call her. Although I was time barred and appeals barred, Stacy was able to get my life back! This past Thanksgiving 2021 I received a letter from the BIA that stated that; Although I was time barred and appeals barred they decided to terminate removal proceedings against me. My LPR status was returned to me! I thank God for working through Stacy and making all of this possible. Thank you Stacy I will be forever grateful to you.. EDIT: UPDATE 06/10/2022 I am very happy to add that today I became a Naturalized U.S. Citizen! Above all, I am grateful to God for making the impossible, possible! And for connecting me with such a skilled and talented person. Stacy stood by me during the entire process and was with me during my interview. She was able to answer the officers legal questions, and he was left in AWE with what she was able to accomplish with my case. Thank you Stacy for everything that you do for ALL of us faced with losing everything! -Oscar M.

After a federal conviction I was placed in removal proceeding by ICE. Being in my early 20s, and having lived in the United States for as long as I can remember, the thought of having to leave my loving family and live life elsewhere had never crossed my mind. I am forever grateful that Stacy came... in highly recommended and that my family had hired her. After her taking over my case I saw how knowledgeable and experienced she was and when combined with her unmatched motivation for doing the right thing it gave me immense hope. We applied for termination of case as well bond in the meantime. I was told over and over by ICE officers at the detention center that bond is not possible in my case and I shouldn't be wasting my time. But since I had already, unfortunately, spent time in custody I knew that detention facility officer don't always have the most "accurate/helpful" information. After spending around a month in the detention facility I was granted bond. I am forever grateful that I had such a great team by my side... without Stacy I would still be in custody listening to all the inaccurate information peddled by the detention facility. Stacy is the best at what she does. It's not often you come across a gem like Stacy. I saw it firsthand. Thank you for all you have done so far! It means the world to me that I can be at home with my family again.
