Bio
Stacy Kline’s interest in law and how it applies to families started at a very young age. Her pursuit of a deep understanding of this process led her to her position as a litigation paralegal and she never looked back! Stacy is passionate about providing a voice to children who otherwise do not have a method to be heard, and helping families navigate through some of the most difficult times in their lives, while maintaining a healthy environment for the children involved.
Stacy received her Associates degree in Paralegal Studies from Kaplan University, began her career as a litigation paralegal at a complex civil litigation firm in 2012, and quickly realized that litigation was a perfect fit. As a family law paralegal, Stacy is well versed in divorce and custody cases. Stacy also has extensive experience with criminal and CPS cases, giving her a specialized outlook on cases that fall outside of the box. As she has worked in Denton County for nearly the entirety of her 11 years as a litigation paralegal, she has a vast knowledge of the judicial system in Denton County. Stacy is well versed in the trial process and is an integral part of the team in preparing for hearings and trials. Stacy takes pride in helping to gain favorable outcomes for clients, and loves assisting clients through complex problems.

"Melody is the attorney who took the bull by the horns."
You don’t know what you don’t know. However, you do know when something is not working out. With that said, I went through a couple of attorneys before being represented by Melody Petitt and that made all the difference.
I will start off saying that the divorce process is like a game. And the law is the rule book, which is a constant that does not change. Where the game gets interesting are the players involved, petitioner, respondent and legal team. Every case is unique, yet some attorneys approach the process as if it’s all the same. However, in my case, we were dealing with a high conflict personality; and, it cannot be taken lightly. Unlike my prior attorneys, Melody jumped on my case and took the time to really understand my situation and what we were dealing with. She took the time to educate me on the law and how it applied in my situation, whether it was something I wanted to hear or not. The law is the law. She knew how to deal with the opposing party. Strategy was the key, and she was prepared for anything. She earned my trust and with that trust, she help make this process tolerable. Most importantly, she was able to get my case wrapped up in a timely manner with a desirable outcome. An outcome that would not have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend Melody Petitt.

"Melody saved my case."When Melody took over my case, it was going nowhere, the previous attorney had done nothing for months but allow opposing counsel to stall, allowing my case to become dormant, luckily that attorney left the firm. When Melody took over she immediately began filing motions, requesting documents that previously had been denied. The outcome of my case was not all I’d hoped for, but Melody made sure I was able to maximize and make the best out of a bad situation. She was always honest, forthright, and meticulous in her handling of the case. She even pushed for the firm to credit my account for work that the previous attorney had not completed. If you want integrity, honesty, and hard work, definitely hire Melody Petitt as your counsel.- Tomas

"She was an excellent partner through the whole process."Melody handled my case with care & logic. She challenged me when I was leading with emotional rather than logic, and understood when she needed to pull back. She was an excellent partner through the whole process, and I have already recommended her to others.- Anonymous
