Stucky Lauer & Young L.L.P. - Fort Wayne, IN

Tom Stucky was not pleasant to work with. He was the mediator for my divorce. He relayed information so quickly that I had to ask him to slow down and repeat himself at one point. I also felt rushed to make decisions quickly. The energy he gave off made me very anxious. Obviously the situation was stressful in itself but having Tom for a mediator made it much more stressful and tense. When discussing custody of my 17 year old son, I said I would not agree to my ex-husband having sole legal custody of our son, even though he was turning 18 in roughly 10 months. Tom argued that it was only 10 months and that it wouldn’t make a difference, though I had specific reasons why I wasn’t willing to do that. He dismissed my concerns like they didn’t matter. He kept pressuring me to agree to my ex having sole legal custody, when he’s a mediator and is suppose to stay middle ground. My attorney can vouch for me and how upset Tom made me. I finally turned toward him and told him I would not be pressured into agreeing to my ex having sole legal custody and I was not willing to come to an agreement in office unless it was joint custody only. In disbelief, I watched him shake his head back and forth in disagreement while he sighed in disgust. I was shocked at his level of unprofessionalism. My attorney knew I was very upset and tried to help calm me when Tom left the room. She understood where I was coming from. For these reasons, I absolutely do not recommend Mr. Stucky for any services that he offers.

No nonsense, very direct and to the point attorney, Chris Lapan. Realistic and does not back down. Thank you for all your help!!

Mr. Tom Stucky was very unprofessional during mediation. Mr. Stucky pointed out that my son would eventually turn three, as to indicate I wasn't capable of doing basic math. Mr. Stucky also made a snark comment about COVID-19 and visitation concerns. He wasn't helpful and it was a waste of money. Mr. Stucky was rude and inconsiderate.
