Attorney Stacey B. Rice
Backed by 17 Years of Courtroom Experience
Although Attorney Stacey Rice once served as a prosecutor in Anne Arundel County, she has focused her practice primarily on family law cases since 2006. She has the compassion, experience, and dedication to strongly represent clients through family law cases, including those which involve:
- Divorce
- Child custody issues
- Domestic violence protective orders
Ms. Rice understands the complexities of her cases, whether the case involves high conflict custody issues or complicated assets and finances.
While Ms. Rice promotes settlement of her cases, based upon her belief that an amicable divorce is better for her client’s family—both emotionally and economically, she is a trial attorney with over 17 years of courtroom experience.
Her Commitment to Clients
In every case, she uses her knowledge and skill in family law cases and heartfelt empathy for how clients are feeling to build confidence within her clients. Ms. Rice assists her clients as they navigate through the process of a family law case by sharing with them:
- Her vast knowledge of the law
- Her prior experiences in the various jurisdictions
- Her own experiences when she went through a divorce years ago
Experience as an Educator
Ms. Rice is an adjunct professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and teaches courses in the Post J.D. Certificate in Family Law. She is a former adjunct professor at Anne Arundel Community College from 2007-2014, teaching both criminal law and introduction to paralegal studies.
