WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Stacey's wage and hour expertise is unmatched, and she's very friendly during all of our interactions."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"To me, the focus is always on providing the client with the best assistance that works for them. Sometimes that means spending time really educating the client on the legal issues and requirements and other times it means helping them devise a strategy to address a current situation. The most important thing really is to tailor the advice and approach to the needs of the client, and never assert that there is only one way to get to a particular result. You have to be flexible and work with your client to develop the approach that best works for them."
