  I have worked with Stacy. I observed her advise her client. Her advice was measured, practical, and solid. Her client was heard, and Stacy had a good rapport with the client.

• Sindi Robertson★ 1.0 · 6 months ago

  Exorbitant fees for absolutely no representation. I hired Stacy for help, and she provided nothing but criticism and stress. She took my money and did absolutely nothing to help my case or my peace of mind. Highly unprofessional and unresponsive to the actual needs of the client. Avoid at all costs.

• George James★ 1.0 · 10 months ago

  I found it unprofessional and frankly bizarre to receive unsolicited advertising emails from an attorney who once represented the opposing side in my custody case. When I asked to be removed from the list, I got a rude response instead of a simple resolution. Just putting this out there so others are aware of these odd practices—definitely not the professionalism I’d expect from a law office.
