Mrs. Stafford is a very competent attorney who works for the best interests of her clients. I wanted to take the low road, and she persuaded me to take the high one and things worked out for the best for me and my children. We often seek counsel, but don't want to hear what counsel has to say. I'm thankful I did.
I only ever saw Ms. Stanford on the day of my hearing. Other than that I was pushed off on a paralegal. I ended up taking my case to another attorney to get it resolved.
Attorney Stafford appeared to use her familiarity with the presiding judge to her client's advantage in ways that did not feel consistent with the principles of justice or impartiality. This created an environment where the opposing party-who had not been accused of any abuse, neglect, or unfitness-was denied meaningful access to their child. There was no clear or convincing evidence presented that would justify such a severe limitation, yet it was allowed to stand. This is deeply troubling in light of well-established legal precedent protecting parental rights under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000)). In my view, Stafford's conduct demonstrated a lack of regard for these constitutional rights and contributed to a result that appeared less about the best interests of the child and more about money. The use of financial threats and demands-such as proposing conditions involving large sums of money for basic parental access- UNETHICAL
