Transparent & Robust

I've never had to hire an attorney until recently for my son with a situation that happened at school. Stacy asked very specific questions and required specifics prior to court. Not understanding the system and trusting her completely, I was not disappointed. She doesn't sugarcoat anything and I r...eally appreciated that. End of the day, got the results that were fair and what we had prayed for. Listen and do what she says, you'll be just fine!!!

What kind of lawyer do you want attaced to your case?? EXCELLENT!!

Ms. Levy is amazing!! My son got into some trouble with a friend and Ms. Levy was his public appointed defender. Though she was not paid by him, she still treated his case as though he had paid her all the money in the world, she looked out for his best interest and didn't allow anything to take he...r focus from that. Ms. Levy kept me informed of everything that took place and made sure I understood each step in the process, she did what she said she would do and fought for my son like he was her son, while taking in to consideration somethings I asked her to fight for personally (but holding my son accountable for his actions). She took all my calls and replied to every email I sent and with in an hour or two, she never turned away from any of my questions even if she didn't have an answers at that time. She was very honest and upfront and she didn't sugar coat a thing with me or my son (honesty is what you need in a lawyer and she is that). Ms. Levy took my sons case and what he was dealing with very serious, when she could have easily blew him off and allowed him to fade into a system of habitual offenders. I can't imagine going through this process without her help and kindness. Ms. Levy even took it upon herself to lighten my load as a mother with her infectious and positive attitude. If you're looking for someone to fight for you, stand by your side and do all that she can, for your best outcome and your best interest... please, contact Ms. Levy because with her you stand a fighting chance.

Stacy Levy law is amazing.

Stacy was great and helped me in a drug case. I was stupid and made some mistakes and was going to pay the price. I Called her once a week asking questions and trying to make sure I was going to be taking care of and she was there every step of the way. She knows her stuff!!! Her attitude Caught me o...f guard at first. She seemed like she wasent worried THEN after one conversation I realized why.. She knew exactly what to do! She handled everything like a professional ( which she is) but I was caught by surprise with how easily she handled everything. She knew everything there was to know. I asked ANY question and she knew the answer without hesitation. She was truely amazing. I probably thanked her 100 times. She is great and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommend

I want to begin with the fact that I waited until the very last minute to hire a lawyer, Stacy was the very last lawyer I called and I wish she had been the first. Stacy was referred by not one but two prior clients she represented, as well as a very highly respected and reputable business owner loca...ted in Atlanta, where I currently reside. This was a domestic/criminal hearing, located in Gwinnett county, where I had 2 options, I was either going to jail or facing very serious charges. In my case, Stacy was able to fight for me and do better than what was originally expected. Stacy is an incredibly forthright, empowering, and humble attorney. I absolutely adored her ability to not only prepare me for the road ahead, but to also maintain her confidence and integrity through out my case. It is quite rare to meet someone as compassionate and down to earth as she was throughout the time she spent representing me. All in all, Stacy was very knowlegable about the law, patient and proficient in educating me about my case and the road I had ahead of me, as well as extremely dedicated to obtaining the best result possible, given my circumstances. Stacy was easy to work with and very fair on her fee's, she was by far worth every penny spent and probably deserves a lot more than just money, she deserves the credit of a warrior and the heart of a saint. Stacy exceeded all expectations and not only would I use her again, I would recommend her to anyone in need of a phenomenal criminal defense attorney. I have has some pretty terrible experiences regarding the justice system as a whole, to say the Stacy restored my faith in justice is an understatement, take it from me, she isn't just the best choice for your case, if you want to beat your charges, she is the only choice.

Very Professional and Caring

After being assaulted and charged with several charges, Atty Levy was assigned to my case. She worked very hard on my behalf getting the charges reduced from FELONY charges to misdemeanor as well as getting one dismissed. She is also very professional and caring, I strongly recommend her,
