Stacey was a tremendous help to me during my divorce. She helped me successfully negotiate a settlement that did not include spousal support thanks to her knowledge of family law and the different factors that can impact spousal support obligations. This was no small feat considering that my ex was seeking 10 years of support and if he was successful it would have destroyed my life. She was also very responsive to my questions and concerns throughout the process and I was offered opportunities to reduce costs. I highly recommend Stacey to anyone seeking an attorney.

Stacey passed me to another attorney after she alludded to her lack of ability or someone better qaulified. I was charged twice for waste of time. I paid double wrongly just to be passed onto secret partner who asked for ten grand. This cohart was willing to break countless rules of conduct and behind my back helped other side until I terminated. Even after I paid for nothing or false advise this firm continued to break rules and set me up for disaster. I tried to call, email and compose letter for response yet firm to cowardly to respond. If I did make contact after many efforts, it was meaningless as honesty not a virtue. My case is irrefutably bias and outcome of destruction affected by insanity of professionals that sell one out. It's a shame, as entire charade has destroyed every possible thing in life yet these cowards pretend above reproach in twisted system of horsetrading lives and utter abuse of power. Due process is a joke in Pierce County and unless your on dirtyside good luck as these folks ensure no confidence and have no place acting as they imply. It's utterly nonsense how they wreck lives while system plays along for a buck.

Stacey helped us with our custody battle involving international relocation, passports, extremely short timeline, etc... a nightmare! Stacey was responsive to our questions and concerns, mediated a parenting plan with favorable terms, and won us reimbursement when the respondent failed to remove a state department hold on our child's passport application. We were able to move on time due solely to Stacey's tenacity in the courtroom! Thank you Stacey!

Stacey Swenhaugen is a terrific attorney. She and her legal staff and support personnel have at all times been very thorough and responsive. My case was handled with the utmost care and commitment. I greatly appreciate her legal counsel and representation; and I highly recommend her.

Stacey is an absolutely outstanding attorney! She is always professional and to the point. Stacey is able to remove the emotion from situations when we can't and focus on the subject at hand. Stacey does not play games, is not intimidated and she will not tell you what you want to hear, which makes her perfect! We would strongly recommend Stacey as we will no longer use any other attorney. She has helped us accomplished more than we could have imagined and we are so grateful. She is worth EVERY penny we have paid!!! Stacey is one of the few attorney's that can fight for rights of fathers in the state of Washington without disappointment. Thank you Jason Benjamin for referring us to her!!

Stacey is both professional and incredible in helping me through my child support modification process. She has kept me well informed on my progress. She communicates with me frequently and provides sound advice on various avenues on how to best achieve my success with my case. She is extremely knowledgeable and persistent in achieving results. I would highly recommend her to other clients who are pursuing assistance in a divorce or any modifications in their case . Thank you Stacey for a job well done.

Stacey has handled two emotionally-charged cases for me over a span of 3 years. Not only was she a beast in the court room, but she also worked very hard behind the scenes to attempt settlement so that we could try to resolve as many issues as possible outside of litigation. The entire process has been so draining, but Stacey communicated with me through every step of the way. She gave sound advice and made sure I was a part of the decision-making process. I was proud to submit the paperwork to the court that she had drafted - everything was very professionally done and she always stated my position perfectly. She made strong arguments to the judge and mediators, and always gave me the support I needed. While going through this process can be expensive, Stacey was always up front with me about her billing and the costs along the way. She answered all of my questions and in my opinion, she earned every penny paid. I have been very happy with the results in both cases. I hope I am done litigating at this point, but would not hesitate to go back to Stacey again if I need her in the future!

I hired Stacey and at first it seemed she was on track, but towards the end I started realizing that she was all about money and not much else. I noticed that I had to repeat myself several times through emails and phone calls about the same topic and every time I would get an email back from her asking the same thing again. When the documents came for my review it had the same errors I had pointed out to her months before, but there they were again. I understand oversight, but continuously I don't. Additionally, upon reviewing the billing I noticed I was charged for those emails and calls that were done because, for some reason, someone, or her, at her law office was not paying attention to my emails or calls. When my case was done, I received an email from her office saying so, and when I called her to inquiry if that was it, she said it was and because I called her she was charging for that phone call. I have never heard of an attorney charging a client for a phone call to say that the case was done. Right there and then, it made me realize I had made a bad choice by hiring her. When I reached out to Benjamin Jason, the attorney/owner of the law firm she works, he took his time to answer and pretty much said he trusted his attorney and not to contact him anymore. Then, I received an email from Stacey saying she was giving me a credit of $27 and I thought to myself, how someone that overcharges hundreds of dollars, is not embarrassed to offer a $27 credit when we all know it was much more than that due back. I am not even sure now that my case was handled properly. That is my opinion and I will not recommend her or Benjamin & Healey law firm, where she works, to anyone.

Possibly the most horrid custody case with about every obstacle possible, Stacey stuck right there and made the "battle" of 2-years as easy for me as possible even though it was very painful. She told me exactly what to do and what she needed and always right-on! Very professional, fast, accurate, and did not once waste my time. I can go on and on how much good she did in my case and for me and my daughter! I still thank her for all her hard work and dedication. She knew every detail about my case in and out of the courtroom. EXCELLENT!!

Stacey was amazing during a time that was extremely difficult for me. I was dealing with an estranged husband who was absolutely unwilling to negotiate and consider the impact of our divorce on our young daughter. Stacey was always empathetic, articulate, and able to put things in perspective at a point when nothing seemed to make sense. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality legal representation.

Stacey and I worked together for roughly 18 months on my petition for custody of my two children in Snohomish County. From the time we met until my case ended, I always felt that Stacey was fighting for me. Even when the results were not what I wanted she always had an alternative plan or her next move already lined up and ready to go. She has always been attentive to my battery of emails, phone calls and questions. She also always made me feel validated in each of my concerns. Stacey is the kind of no-nonsense represenation that any parent would want standing beside them. Her knowledge of the family-law system, preparation, organization and phenomenal arguing skills in the courtroom are just a few of her many assets.

Great job so far with my situation. Straight forward and to the point. Agreesive and handled my situation wonderful. I am very pleased with Stacey.
