Pros
1
Effective in getting favorable outcomes, such as reduced charges or dismissals
“As a client who was dealing with bipolar she was able to get it dropped down to a theft from grand theft and me into an in lieu-of-conviction program in which it will be dismissed.”
2
Knowledgeable and experienced in criminal law, especially in understanding the weaknesses of law enforcement
“Her years as a prosecutor really show when u see her in court.”
3
Provides clear and understandable explanations of the legal process
“The legal process can be daunting. Stacy McGowan has helped numerous people navigate their way through the Court's system and understand the process of what is going to happen.”
Cons
1
Gave inaccurate information about the expected legal outcome, leading to disappointment and negative consequences
“Stacy assured us through the whole 4.5 months of waiting for conviction that id be able to keep my job, would be available for work release immediately and would most likely serve 30 of a 90 day sentence in a halfway house. Except i was not released for work for weeks, lost my job because of that, and was told by caseworker that 90 days was minimum.”
2
Lack of availability or responsiveness during the legal process
“Then when i called to ask why none of what she said would happen is and she said just hang in there.”
