If only I had found her sooner!! We hired Stacey Valdez and Associates a little late in our game but they were extremely prompt and professional from the jump. They corrected so many errors the previous attorney made, and completely turned our sinking ship around. Stacey is no nonsense and made sure I was informed about my case the entire way through. I have and will recommend her to anybody looking for a straight to business attorney.

I recently hired Stacey for a custody case. Stacey’s team took their time and gave attention to detail to present all the information possible to fight for my case. Stacey was very direct and did not back down in court. Would highly recommend her and her team!

I can not speak highly enough of Stacey Valdez and Associates. After months of researching other lawyers, and interviewing my top choices, Stacey stood out head and shoulders above her peers. After working with her and the wonderful people in her office since May 2019 (my case is dragging on because of the opposing party and COVID shut-downs of the court), I can honestly say that I made the right choice with her. She is extremely knowledgeable of her subject matter and she also knows all the local players quite well. She is highly respected by other lawyers and judges and by me as well. Her staff is competent and friendly.

Stacey has been very transparent and direct from the beginning, these are traits not found often with attorneys. We haven't always agreed on some of the approaches she recommends, but so far she has been consistently correct. I have full faith in her experience and abilities as an attorney. Stacey has been my attorney for the last 5 months and counting. Our custody case is not completed yet but it is on the right track. I would also like to comment that her Associate Michaela and her Paralegal Danielle are second to none, they have all been there every step of the way with us.

Stacey Valdez & Associates can be described as nothing less than PHENOMENAL! She has a strong, commanding presence in the courtroom and doesn’t pull any punches. Stacey tells it the way it is and will be upfront and honest with you from day one. Her staff is always helpful and willing to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. Danielle is very knowledgeable in law and can answer most if not all questions you may have. Stacey Valdez and her team are the real deal! If you need an attorney with fire, determination, grit, and strength to go the mile, that’s not afraid of a fight, Stacey Valdez is the one for you!

YOU DEFIENTLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR WITH STACEY AND ASSOCIATES. ALWAY'S RETURNS CALLS, EMAILS, AND ANY QUESTIONS I HAVE. IF YOU WANT A STRONG KNOWLEGABLE ATTORNEY BESIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, CALL STACEY VALDEZ.

Stacey’s office is currently representing me in a child support matter and she and her staff have been nothing but courteous and professional. Michaela is super kind and helpful and Stacey simply knows her business. When she walks in, she owns the courtroom. They are experienced and it shows in both their research capabilities as well as their presence in court. I am very happy to have chose her as my attorney.

Stacey is an excellent, knowledgeable, professional, confident, and personable lawyer. I felt at ease with her. She is very thorough in collecting info at her free initial intake. Her staff guides you through the process after that. However in court, Stacey fights and fights hard for you. Her legal knowledge, her incorporation of it and her flexibility with it in your specific case is amazing. She helped me through a divorce that ended up being done by default at first because my now ex-husband continuously dodged being served. What I wanted most was custody of my kids and NO geographical restrictions for where I could live with them. I got this in the default, but it was threatened when my now ex-husband retained an attorney to challenge the defaulted divorce decree with a motion for a retrial. I distraught and this worsened at the actual motion hearing when the judge appeared to lean towards granting the motion. However, nimble-thinking Stacey read the judge correctly at every turn and stepped in appropriately. She conceded at times, offered compromises at other times, and respectfully rebuffed too. In the end, the motion was denied. I am so thankful for Stacey's help. Some reviews mentioned problems with Stacey's staff. I did not experience this, but emailing Stacey directly may have helped. I like this "open door-like" policy she has.

Stacey is a stand up person. Very experienced. She tells you what you need to know. Not what you want to hear. I retained her for some unusual (difficult)post divorce enforcement matters. She has exceeded my expectations and given me some peace of mind back. Highly recommend her and her staff!

I was a father seeking custody of my young son. I came to find out that Stacey Valdez is the pistol you want on your side. She is the most fearless and fierce woman I have ever met. Stacey’s knowledge of the law is extraordinary. She took my case and brought calm to a chaotic situation, handling every matter effectively and efficiently. Her staff was always available, professional, helpful and friendly. Stacey’s associate attorney Michaela Balderas brought even more to the table, making this team unbeatable. In the courtroom Stacey was confident and on her toes at all times. Out of the courtroom, her sense of humor and unfiltered observations brought a sense of lightheartedness to a gloomy situation, which calmed my nerves and raised my spirits. In the end, I was appointed Sole Managing Conservator of my son. She was a hero for my little man and no doubt helped save his life. I am forever appreciative to Stacey, Michaela and her staff for coming to battle for me and my son. I would never consider anyone but Stacey Valdez & Associates should I need any sort of legal assistance in the future.

If you are reading these reviews then you are in need of a good lawyer and you've landed on a great one. I've used Stacey Valdez on a number of matters over the last 4 years related to my divorce. I only wish I had used her for the original divorce, she is a fantastic lawyer! Stacey has represented me through several suits including more than a dozen hearings, several mediations, depositions and a jury trial. She was always there for me, fighting hard for me and ultimately securing primary custody of my children. As a Father, challenging my ex-wife for custody of our children was not easy. Stacey understood my position and took the time to develop and execute a very effective legal strategy. There were bumps along the way – motions may not go your way, dates may be reset outside of your control, but in the end we were able to show a jury that it was in the best interest of the children to live with me. Stacey is outstanding in the courtroom! Her demeanor and understanding of the law is second to none in that setting. If you go to trial you want Stacey representing you. What makes Stacey the right choice is not just her resume, her certifications, her knowledge of the law and her expertise in front of both judges and juries, it's that she gets emotionally invested and it shows. She's different than other lawyers I've watched because I know she really cares about my family situation and all of the outcomes. She will also tell you what you need to hear whether it's what you want to hear or not. She’s got strong ethics and will tell you when you are wrong too. This is more important than you think as I've seen the difference in ethical and non-ethical lawyers during my trial. She’s also been fairly easy to communicate with as lawyers go and quick to respond. No lawyer is going to always be able to drop everything and answer every call or email immediately even if they advertise they will. A good lawyer will have a heavy case load with many clients to deal with and will be in court a lot. They also won't study all the details of your case months before your hearing or trial because they won't remember it. Once you understand this and realize she's on top of things despite you not having daily updates, you’ll learn to relax and let her work for you. But when Stacey walks into that courtroom I feel confident every time that I’ve got the right lawyer with me.

I actually haven't even had to retain Stacey yet- but I am waiting on my ex husband to file for custody of our14 year old son. When he does I will be going straight to her . She did my cousins divorce and was amazing! She fought for him and his kids.
