My practice focuses on helping injured cyclists, motorcyclists and scooter riders obtain just compensation for their injuries. I provide superior legal representation through compassionate counseling and tenacious advocacy for all of my bike-accident clients. Once I take your case, I take care of all the paperwork, phone calls and negotiations so you can stop worrying about dealing with insurance companies and focus on recovering from your injuries. As a daily bike commuter, former competitive cyclist, veteran bike messenger and advocate for bicyclists’ rights, I am uniquely suited to work with you on your bike accident case. I can advise you, at no charge, on how to evaluate your claim and whether you would benefit from hiring a lawyer.

I worked with Stacie on a difficult personal injury case involving a disputed bicycle accident. She was awesome! I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, her compassion, her command of the relevant laws, and her drive. She is an exceptional personal injury lawyer, especially when it comes to pedestrian and bicycle accident cases. It would be impossible for me to give her a stronger endorsement. I highly recommend her.

I worked with Stacie on case last year: she is an excellent advocate, a delight to work with. She was on top of all aspects of her client’s case, knew the law, and was competent and efficient. This was alloyed with a rare mixture of compassion and tenacity. She could really turn up the heat when needed, but always maintained her professionalism with opposing counsel, so personality never got in the way of what was best for her client. As a result, we were able to get a great result in a challenging case. Stacie is many things: proud mother, caring counselor, skilled advocate. Above all, she is a delightful person, wonderful colleague, with a sure touch with people, an unpretentious grace, and great sense of humor. She is a force to be reckoned with. She has expertise in cycling accidents, so if you’re looking for a lawyer who cares about your bicycle injury and has the passion to get the job done, look no further.

I have known Stacie for several years and have watched her work and seen firsthand how detailed and thorough she is in the preparation of her cases for settlement or trial. She has an excellent command of the law and the legal system of justice, and uses this to her client’s advantage. She is diligent, persistent, and tenacious in her dealings with insurance adjusters and their lawyers, while being kind and considerate with her clients and mindful of the unique circumstances and challenges each client faces. I highly recommend her to those looking for an ethical, tenacious, and compassionate lawyer to represent them.

I've had the chance to work alongside Stacie for two years. I enthusiastically recommend her. Her commitment to her clients is exceptional. She is fast, knowledgeable and attentive. Take the time to review her past clients' testimonials, and you'll have little question about her ability and high level of service.

Stacie Bain is committed to excellence. This is reflected in the time she takes to truly get to know her clients, her understanding of the personal injuries, and their real life consequences. She jumps right in and gets things done. In 2013 we associated on two cases together. I endorse not only her work but her humanity. I look forward to another opportunity to co-counsel with Stacie.

Stacie's experience as a lawyer and an avid cyclist combine to make her the perfect advocate for injured cyclists. People who are hit and injured while cycling often deal with complex problems. Stacie's knowledge of the law and rights of cyclists are key to her record of successfully representing her clients. Add to this a personable and compassionate demeanor and you have the total Stacie Bain package. I strongly endorse this lawyer.
