    I came to Stacey McNelis after a terrible experience with another divorce attorney. She was refreshing, honest, hardworking, compassionate, professional. I truly wish I'd had her from the beginning. She was able to see my divorce through, efficiently and with the best possible outcome. I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney.

    Stacy McNelis was a great attorney for our family issue that we had. Ms. McNelis was fantastic in court and she really knows her stuff. I highly recommend Ms.McNelis if you want a professional, intelligent yet down to earth person who will fight for what you need.

    During the hardest time of my life - Mrs McNelis was there for me. She was calming, comforting and made me feel confident through out the entire divorce process. She is aggressive and understanding. Her knowledge and experience places her above all the rest. I am so thankful for her and I would highly recommend her to all.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
