Stacy represents families in guardianship/conservatorship cases as well as in probate matters, trust disputes, will contests, and family or closely held business disputes.. These kinds of cases can sometimes be very difficult and may require litigation. In those cases, Stacy's significant jury trial and courtroom experience serves her clients well. Stacy will zealously and tenaciously advocate for her client in the courtroom. But sometimes the prospect of a trial compromises valued family relationships. In those cases, Stacy will work closely with her client to skillfully negotiate a creative out-of-court resolution.

I concentrate my practice on protecting elder and disabled clients and their assets. I regularly appear in probate court to obtain guardianship and conservatorship authority for family members whose loved ones are no longer able to make their own decisions, whether it is an elder who has been diagnosed with advanced dementia or Alzheimer's disease, a disabled child who is reaching adulthood, or someone who suffers a traumatic brain injury. I also work to avoid these scenarios by proper estate planning, such as wills, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies and medical care directives. I help protect assets through the use of trusts, transferring or re-titling property, and homestead protection. When the time comes, I also assist families in getting a proper personal representative appointed to administer the estate of their deceased loved ones. I advise the personal representative and the family in navigating the probate process and settling the estate, including selling real estate, negotiating the payment of debts, distributing any inheritance and resolving inter-family disputes. When necessary, I also litigate probate matters that cannot be settled among family members. I most frequently practice in Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk and Norfolk Probate Courts. My work is primarily aimed at helping my clients retain as much independence and control over their lives as possible. I served two terms  as a member of the Massachusetts PCA (Personal Care Attendant) Workforce Council, to which I was appointed by Attorney General Martha Coakley in 2009. The Workforce Council aims to improve the quality of care available to individuals who would be in a nursing home without the care provided by in-home care providers and to assist PCA users in obtaining and keeping qualified home care.Due to the nature of my clientele, I am always happy to meet with people at their homes or at the hospital or nursing home.

I am a certified as an elder law attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation. I have practiced exclusively in elder law since 2004 when I began representing clients in adult guardianships and elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation litigation. Since then, my practice has expanded to include probate and trust administration, estate planning, retirement benefits, special needs planning, long term care planning, Medicaid applications, and nursing home issues. I devote a substantial portion of her time to helping families plan for the care of a loved one with a chronic care need. I represent my clients with a continuity of care that extends from the creation of a long term care plan to the execution, implementation, and administration of that plan.

What matters to me is how I can help, and I start helping by focusing on my client's vision of success. I love working directly with people on issues most important to them - whether those are their family, loved ones, hard-earned assets and property, their business, or otherwise. Serving my clients allows me to make a difference in their lives, and that is the ultimate reward of my work in this profession. On any given day I get to assist in guiding clients through some of life's most troubling times and through some of life's most exciting new chapters. My goal in doing so is to facilitate the best possible resolution, while minimizing the tension and stress the legal process can sometimes bring with it. While no attorney can guarantee any specific resolution, I can assure my clients of the following: I will always listen with compassion, as I recognize how legal issues may interupt and even alter the lives of those involved; I will consistently and faithfully advocate for my client's position, and do all that I can to facilitate a resolution without undue emotional stress or unnecessary tactics; and, I will provide professional, competent and comprehensive services to each client, from beginning to end. I have called North Carolina home all my life.  Raised in Asheboro, I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I studied journalism and received my Bachelor of Arts degree in political science. My passion to help others in tough circumstances drove me straight from college to law school, and I earned my law degree from Charlotte School of Law. I practice predominantly in Mecklenburg County and the surrounding areas. I focus my practice on guardianships, estate planning, estate administration, litigation, business formation, contract drafting and family law. Primarily on the litigation side, I handle cases involving incompetency, guardian of the person, guardian of the estate, separation, divorce, equitable distribution, alimony and post-separation support, child custody, child support, misdemeanors, traffic-related matters, and some civil litigation. I am committed to achieving my clients' goals outside of the courtroom as well. I handle various non-litigation matters, including tailoring and drafting estate plans (wills, trusts, power of attorney), probate matters, uncontested divorces, drafting separation agreements, business formations, and various contract review and drafting.
