Stacey saved my daughter's life. 
 

“We were honest with Stacey about our daughter's mental health, bipolar disease, self medication, three suicide attempts, and more than I care to share here. Stacey truly listens. She is highly specialized, tough, strong, emphathetic and kind, as needed. And she knows how to respond. We absolutely believe, without a doubt, she saved our daughter's life.”

Fantastic ATTY you can count on, I recommend her and consider her to be a TOP Criminal Defense ATTY in San Diego, for sure. 
 

“I decided to hire a new ATTY after having a good experience with my last ATTY, but not great. I felt I needed someone new, fierce, kind-hearted, upfront, realistic, understanding and determined. I immediately felt I was in good hands. That did not change through the process of my 2 cases she handled for me. She had knowledge that was impressive and beyond what I expected. She knew the prosecution and she knows the LAW. I trusted her and I am pleased with the outcome. I learned of her through ATTY GRIMES; Google him and you will know he is great, as well. She used to work for him, so I had to `take a chance` with who I was hearing was the `best.'

 

I truly am pleased that she listened to me, she was always communicating with me, even received messages at 10PM from her iPhone. She is a hard-worker and got mind-blowing results. I am happy now! I am at peace. Thanks Stacey, I have your card in my wallet and will continue to recommend you!”

Stacey is by far the Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Sothern California 
 

“Unfortunately I have had some very serious charges wrongly brought against me in my life. Fortunately, I was able to have Stacey represent me multiple times in different cases. Every time, Stacey has done an absolute amazing job with all aspects of the case, defended me and achieved an amazing result. After working with some other high profile Lawyers in Southern Californian it became clear just how much better of a job Stacey does for the client than others. As a client, Stacey always made sure I was clear and understood all the aspects, possible outcomes, and complexities of each case. During the extremely stressful, fearful times of facing serious criminal charges, Stacey also did a phenomenal Job of providing the information needed to really help reduce the stress and fear that go along with dealing with serious charges and the daunting legal system. Stacey's knowledge of the law is astoundingly amazing and allowed me to know I had the best person possible representing and defending me.

Stacey is incredibly professional but also very personable and while working with her it is clear she cares about your case and wants the best possible outcome just as much you do. I truly feel forever indebted to Stacey for defending me so incredibly well and I would be in a much worse place in life if I did not have Stacey Kartchner as my Lawyer. I have, and will continue to recommend Stacey to my close friends and family, and would continue to have her represent me if ever needed. I give my highest recommendation if you are facing criminal charges you should get in contact with Stacey Kartchner right away. Stacey is, in my opinion, the best defense Lawyer in Southern California.”

Attorney of the Year!
 

“Stacy was the most amazing attorney helping me resolve an issue unbeknownst to me for almost twenty years! Finding an old case was like finding a needle in a haystack! This was an issue that was supposed to have been resolved back then! This case has caused me heartache and stress. Was my great fortune to find Stacy as she diligently worked tireless to solve and correct the ongoing issue! I am so grateful for her professional ethics and her amazing knowledge of the law!

Upon first speaking to her never would I have imagined she would’ve remembered me and my case after almost 20 years! Five stars are nothing as Stacy should be awarded 1000 Stars!! Am so grateful for her and would recommend Stacy to anyone in need of a GREAT AND ACCOMPLISHED ATTORNEY!!! Thank you Stacy, you are the best ever!!! Stacy Kartchner should be awarded ‘Attorney of the Year.’”

Thank You!
 

“Stacey represented me all the way from Wyoming. I used to live in San Diego and I still had a warrant that was over 15 years old. I hired Stacey on word of mouth not knowing her. All I can say it was the best decision I ever made. She has helped me get my freedom back and was extremely professional and always kept her word. She did everything I asked and always kept me informed. Stacey will always be my go to person if I ever need any law services in San Diego again."

All I can say is ‘She Exceeds Expectations’”

“Stacey was very thorough in her explanations and procedures going through the process for me. I was never left in the dark, she was very easy to contact and she responded quick whenever I had any questions. Above all, she made me feel comfortable during the process. This was my first time experiencing anything like this and it made me feel a little extra secure having her in my corner. She is an amazing lawyer and an even better person!”

Highly recommend!

​

“Stacey helped make a hard time in my life a little easier. She took my case with only a few days before a court date. She explained things thoroughly and provided information on things I didn’t even know to ask about. Email responses were fast and detailed. It was a long process but Stacey continued to support me throughout the process and saw it through to resolution two years later. I appreciate that she treated me and my case with an air of importance throughout even though the fee had been paid upfront to start. I would highly recommend Stacey for your legal needs.”

"Stacey is well known in the San Diego legal community. She not only works extremely hard for her clients, she is deeply involved in issues facing the criminal defense bar. I have worked with her for the last couple of years on an executive committee of a criminal defense organization and her boundless energy, organizational skills, and commitment to “the cause” has been inspiring to me. I endorse her."

More than just a Lawyer 
 

“Stacey did more for my son & our family, than we EVER expected or inclined to expect from a lawyer. Stacey went way above & beyond our expectations of her job description of lawyer, she not only got my son on home arrest,( when the DA wanted to give him 10yrs w/ no possibility of parole, among a list of other things ) my son has NO RECORD of anykind, a pillar to his community & is working on his career. No matter which way my son chose to go, pleading out or going to trial, she had my sons back, like he was her own son. She even treated my husband, myself & the rest of my family, as if we were apart of hers.

She was available to me 24/7 ready to be there for an emotional, stressed out mom, to comfort, console & answer any questions needed. With No Hesitation! She Always made me feel confident that all would workout! That she was going to take what was necessary to get my son back home with his family., I fully recommend Stacey to Anyone who ever needs a Criminal Lawyer! She is Definitely our families from here on out!! THANK YOU SO MUCH STACEY ! Could NEVER repay or express the gratitude we have for what you've done for our son & our family! GODBLESS”
