About Stacie
Stacie Schmerling is a Florida-licensed attorney who practices at Kelley Kronenberg. She works on matters that arise under Florida law and represents clients in firm matters across the state. Colleagues describe her as steady and precise in her approach.
After completing her legal education, Schmerling began practicing in Florida. Her early years in the profession involved learning the practical mechanics of client representation and courtroom procedure. Those formative experiences shaped the way she approaches casework: methodically, with attention to detail and an eye toward pragmatic outcomes.
Over the course of her career she has handled a variety of matters in state courts and administrative settings. Her work has required drafting pleadings, preparing discovery, and appearing on behalf of clients at hearings. She has worked alongside teams on complex files and taken individual responsibility for matters that required sustained attention over months or years.
Her practice emphasizes problem solving. She spends time untangling regulatory questions, addressing contractual disputes, and responding to litigation risks. She also advises clients on day-to-day legal issues that affect operations and planning. She tends to prioritize clear explanations for clients who may be facing unfamiliar procedures or tight deadlines.
Schmerling’s style in the courtroom and the conference room is practical. She breaks down legal issues into manageable parts and lays out options in plain terms. That approach helps clients weigh the costs and benefits of different paths. It also helps teams communicate internally and externally when matters become complex.
In her current role at Kelley Kronenberg she handles a mix of matters that arise under Florida law. She is based in the firm’s Florida practice and continues to represent individuals and organizations before state tribunals and administrative bodies. Her current practice focuses on resolving legal issues for clients in Florida through counseling, negotiation, and, when necessary, litigation.
