Stacy Tucker is a knowledgeable, skilled attorney who you want on your side

In a difficult LTD case, with complicating factors, Stacy fought hard to get me the best possible outcome. I was wrongly denied benefits by my LTD carrier and the way the LTD plan was written was highly unfavorable in my circumstances. Stacy is very knowledgeable about these kinds of difficult cases... and was strategic about how to best resolve the case. She listened to my concerns about how the insurer and employer were handling my case and looked for ways to advocate for my position. The documents she drafted were very well written and she was great to talk to about my case. I highly recommend Stacy Tucker.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
