I retained Stacy after careful review of her experience and felt she had my best interest in mind. After nearly 6 months of appearances in court, Stacy secured a victory for my case as the state dropped all charges. Stacy thought outside the box and pursued every possible angle to ensure I was not unjustly charged with a crime. I would highly recommend her legal services to all in need, she is a fighter and will not rest until every aspect is exhausted.

Mr. Colón, You say…read moreyou advocate for your clients--but I urge you, and anyone reading, to consider the consequences of how that advocacy played out in my case. You caused serious harm not only to me, but to your own client by handling negotiations in bad faith. You delivered a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) to me--and possibly even to your client--at 11:00 PM the night before a 9:00 AM trial, followed by a bait-and-switch renegotiation minutes before court. That strategy didn't just waste my time--it wasted your client's time, the court's time, and most of all, made her fly across the country from California for nothing. If that's your idea of advocacy, it's a dangerous one--because it isn't just about legal games. It has real consequences for real people. Your client unlawfully relocated our children in 2022, separating them from their father, their siblings, and their extended family. You knew this. You were told directly. Yet you chose not to address it--not once in your filings. Instead, you focused your efforts on my assets, as if property mattered more than parenting. You call this "aggressive representation." But what you've done is enable a long, drawn-out custody and divorce battle--one that still hasn't ended three years later, and one that has inflicted irreversible emotional harm on these children. When children grow up alienated from a loving parent, everyone loses--especially the parent who thought their attorney was protecting them. When the effects of that alienation fully manifest, and when accountability finally comes due, your misplaced advocacy will not only have harmed me--it will have failed the very person you claim to serve. Lastly, to the public: calling the number in Mr. Colón's reply thinking you'll get "aggressive representation" may be a grave mistake. If your case involves children, integrity, or your future peace of mind, I strongly urge you to seek an attorney who knows the difference between fighting and destroying. The consequences of hiring the wrong advocate won't just affect your case--they may affect your life and your children's future. -- Damaso A. del Rosario, Pro Se Petitioner Gainesville, Florida, USA
