Caring AND TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS

If you need an attorney who gets right down to the nitty gritty and takes care of business, Stacy Kirven is perfect. Helping re-obtain physical custody of my babies after a violation issue, Stacy had me in court, within weeks, righting all physical custody issues quickly and efficiently (she not only... presented case at hand, but set the stage of solutions for future issues by being thorough and complete). I never would have dreamed an attorney could handle a situation so swiftly. Even from out of state, these procedures happened so quickly it was hard to believe. The entire situation was righted in entirety thanks to her in depth knowledge of procedure and keen eye of detail. I will always be thankful that destiny brought me to her firm. She treated me with dignity and gave me 100% of her time and effort. There was no time wasted with her, for as soon as I retained her services the ball was rolling as fast as I could make flight arrangements to be in court. Thank you for being excellent at your profession Stacy! My and my children's lives are forever changed because of your help.

Stacy did a great job handling my request to get parenting plan amended, we contacted her and consulted with her before hiring her for my case.

Adoption and Divorce

Stacy took complete care of my adoption case, which included her presentation of the case in front of a court judge. She presented the case calmly and assertively, showing that she was clearly prepared. Following the successful adoption, she also handled my divorce case involving children. With her e...xpertise, we got the exact terms we first set and didn't have to compromise. She made the process quick and painless. I highly recommend her for her patience, professionalism, and legal knowledge.

Custody and Divorce Representation

Stacy Kirven handled an almost 18-month Child Custody and Divorce case for me, the father in this case. It was a difficult and hostile case, especially early on and she navigated the tricky intricacies with the utmost professionalism and poise. She was very creative in her problem solving and solutio...ns to get things moving in the best direction possible for me as a client and more importantly the best interests of the child in this entire case. There were 2 hearings in front of the judge, first for a temporary custody agreement in which she brought the facts of the case to bear and showed inaccuracies in the defenses' arguments. There was another hearing a few months later in an order to show cause as the defendant failed to abide by the court order on the temporary custody agreement mentioned above. Again, she laid out the facts of the matter and brought a strong case before the judge. After this, there was a final hearing scheduled months in advance and during that time she strategically waited and advised the right settlement offers and timing to best serve me as the plaintiff. The timing and offers in the settlement produced a simple, shared custody agreement and acceptable divorce decree that served primarily to be in the best interest of the minor child as well. In addition to that, the terms of the divorce decree were very favorable to me as the plaintiff and it would not have been possible without her expertise and knowledge.
