Stacey did an amazing job navigating me through a difficult divorce, and did so with utmost efficiency and professionalism. Her knowledge of the Anne Arundel court system is second to none. No matter how daunting a case seems, Stacey has a way of ensuring the best possible outcome. she refused to let my ex and his attorney take unfair advantage through attempted abuse of the legal system. If you have a complicated case Stacey is the attorney you need.

I entrusted the most important aspect of my life to Mrs. Rice; my child and my relationship. As I expected she is very professional without being cold and harsh. Her first response and the associated documents came so quick that I was not even prepared for it. It surprised me a little because any professional that is at the top of their game is usually very difficult to communicate with. I was very pleased. I also dealt with her staff and found them very professional. Mrs. Rice's knowledge of the law, even a relevant brand new case was comprehensive. She is very familiar with all the idiosyncrasies of the courts. Best investment in my child's and my life and well-being.

A child custody case is emotional and often heartbreaking. My husband and I were shocked beyond belief when his ex filed to modify custody, filing a petition making radical claims against him, asking the court terminate his legal custody and enforce permanent supervised visitation. Stacey was calm and confident, helping us organize evidence, explaining everything we needed to know, keeping us informed at every turn. When it comes to your child, you want someone who cares about the outcome, and it most definitely matters to her. She is honest, kind, and reliable.

I recommend hiring Stacey Rice as your lawyer. I was a client that called and emailed non-stop because of my situation. She will guide you every step of the way and keep you informed of what is going on with your case. If you do not understand the legal system, she will break it down so you do understand. My case was a disaster and turned out to be succesful. I was very happy with the outcome. I was fighting from another state and she helped me gain custody of my child. Stacey did everything in her power to help me gain custody of my child. She did not stop fighting until we could prove what was going on to the courts. She is not only understanding, but she is there for you as a client. She cares for you and the child. Fighting for your child is not easy and at sometimes it can be a very difficult time and you want to give up, but if you have the right lawyer such as Stacey who cares you will feel at ease. Thank you Stacey for helping me and I really appreciate all the time you took for my case. I don't know what I would have done, if I didn't have a lawyer such as you and thank you for not giving up on my case. I'm so very thankful. Samantha

Stacey Rice is more than just a lawyer. She becomes your friend, your ally, your defense, your support system and so much more. She goes out of her way to give you all the details so you can make an informed decision how you want to proceed but she also tells you like it is. She does not sugar coat things so you are not aware of what could possibly happen. She gives you all the facts. She is always there to answer questions and genuinely cares about you and your family. I consider her more than just my lawyer but also my friend.

Stacey is an excellent attorney who really cares about your case. Aside from being an expert on Family Law, she understands the difficulties that you are going through and shows deep compassion during such a difficult time. She's flat out the best around.

Stacey, Thank you for being our strongest ally. Our family has been using you since 2008. We have had three cases in the past year and you constantly show prepared and ready to fight for us and what you think is just. There is a difference between knowing how to be passionate, and being passionate about what you know. They say a good lawyer should separate law and emotion, but it is the balance of emotion you provide that wins your cases. You are quick on your feet, you continue to study the law and changes in the community and you never let the opposing party get ahead of you. In addition, you’re communicative about how we can be better prepared ourselves. We are currently in the middle of a trial that will literally change the lives of several people, a young one in particular. We are fully confident that you will be ahead of you opponent and bring justice to the families involved as you have done many times before through your knowledge, professionalism, repor, experience and passion. You’ve gained clients and partners for life. Sincerely, Jeff and Kerri

This is the content of actual email I sent to Stacey: Stacey, of course, you know I very much appreciate your efforts to finally get me divorced. However, you may not know what about your work I have valued so much. It is wonderful to have an attorney who is not only professional, but personable; one who stays in touch, is always within reach, and is excellent at explaining the law and recommending what can work best to meet my needs. Perhaps most of all, there's the sense that you really care. It is so rare these days to find such a quality in people, particularly those who serve for money. Thank you for being not just an attorney, but an honest advisor and partner! May you never lose the special gift of caring for those you serve!

Dear Stacy B Rice: I cannot thank you enough for the heroic efforts you made on my behalf in my divorce. I cannot pay you enough either. (really, I cannot sorry.) As Dave Ashley Said when he referred me to you, "there is a very simple rating system for lawyers: a lawyer is the best, or, second best, or not worth rating. " You are the best." Gaining the custody of my son Sam was more than i ever expected. I should be much better able to protect and insulate him from "issues" Thanks to you. Sincerely, Mr. Jonathan B Srisatta Comments and story line: Reality finally sits in, unbelievably so, I can't get the trial out of my mind, how you Ms. Rice have been with me through all of this, from start to finish, never putting your pen or keyboard at rest. I am amazed how you went up against opposing council, who during the trial flanked you, two veteran lawyers on your left and one in the audience. It was literally you vs. 3 lawyers and a judge who challenged every objection you made consistently. But you Stacey Rice did not falter, you stood up and gave 110% in the courtroom. During trial preparations I told my witness's " to make them feel at ease" that do not worry when you approach the stand, Stacey Rice will brandish her shield of justice and protect you, guide you up there, you are not alone i said" Yesterday i went to the local gym i frequently go to, a lot of people there that know me, know that i have been going through this and told me a long time ago that justice when harnessed correctly will be served. My reply to the patrons at the local gym was "if you see me with my son on Thursday walking through the gym then that is a good sign" As i walked in the gym with the happiest 8year old one could see. People at the gym actually started to applaud us as i gave them the thumbs up... truly amazing!! At that moment reality sat in and i realized that a well gifted Attorney COMMANDS THE RESPECT OF THE COURTROOM. end of story.. thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Mr. Srisatta.

Stacey did an incredible job with my case. She really reviewed all the facts, listen to my side of the story, worked with people she knew to get a good background and fought very well. We ended up being able to add it into the "win" category!

One of the first things Stacey said to me was "I don't want your money, I want your kids to have your money". She proved that by the efficient way in which she handles her cases. I can't express in words how great Stacey is in handling divorce and custody issues. She is an incredible multi-tasker, keeps everything organized and kept me from letting my emotions cloud my judgement. Near the end of our negotiations, I told her that I had to step back from the situation and that she had full power to do what she thought was best. She saved me a lot of money! THANKS STACEY!!

After experiencing inadequate representation from a previous attorney, I was referred to Stacey Rice to handle two cases, criminal and divorce/custody. I immediatly felt a sense of relief and security after our first meeting due to Stacey's professional conduct, demeanor, knowledge and frankness. She was empathetic in regard to my turmoil, yet calm, honest and forthcoming in addressing the issues at hand. She took the reins and immediately began navigating through the matters associated with my cases in an expeditious and confident manner, a trait that Stacey has consistently exemplified since our introduction. More importantly, she provided me with a solid sense of security that I finally had the right person in my corner who was a strong advocate for me, my child and our best interests. I have and will continue to refer anyone seeking counsel to Stacey Rice. I am sincerely grateful for her dedication.
