Incompetent and dishonest

Very incompetent and dishonest. She negotiated an agreement without letting me know until the presiding Judge entered the court room. I asked her at least three times, if the more than $200,000.00 discovered by subpoena in Respondent's account was part of the agreement and she said "No", it was part... of it. She was not able to stipulate exhibits that were prepared for her despite the repeated announcements by the trial judge; "if it is not stipulated, it is not an exhibit". She failed to stipulate financial documents uncovered by subpoena, all the exhibits that showed activities with my son. I end up losing legal custody of my son and about $100,000.00 as result her action. I did not have the exhibits to appeal the case. She lacks basic knowledge and skills of a lawyer. I believe she was compromised, in the stipulated agreement she authored and signed by the Court, she referred herself as Respondent’s lawyer, intentionally omitted the subpoenaed accounts that were part of the agreement, and she abruptly submitted the case without completing cross examination of the Respondent. I didn't know I could have fired her in the courtroom before the case was submitted, that would have been the appropriate action after it appeared, she was compromised. She relies on the opposing attorney for advice and guidance, which makes her very vulnerable and easily get compromised. Stacey lacks professionalism, and rapidly depleted trust funds. Her mother who is her legal assistance is not very helpful; she has very short attention span. Looking back at her resume, she really did not work for any law firm before starting her own, so the 12 years’ experience is very deceiving.
