About Stacy A
Stacy A Eckert runs a solo practice in Florida that she established in the mid-1990s. She has kept a compact office and a steady caseload. Colleagues describe a practitioner who prefers direct client work and courtroom appearances to firm management frills.
Eckert earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies Education from Florida International University in 1987. She went on to receive a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida in 1993. Those academic steps led quickly to a legal career anchored in state and federal practice.
She founded Stacy A. Eckert, P.A. in 1995 and has been the firm's owner since then. The firm is organized as a small, client-centered practice. Eckert is licensed to practice in Florida and is admitted to the Federal Circuit, which allows her to handle certain appeals and federal matters alongside state-level work.
Her professional memberships highlight the areas she most frequently handles. She is a current member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers and of the Florida Bar Elder Law Division. She has also served as president of Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida. That mix of consumer bankruptcy affiliations and elder law connections shapes much of the practice agenda she pursues.
Eckert's work typically involves bankruptcy filings on behalf of individuals and the legal issues that surround aging clients. She represents debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, prepares related pleadings, and appears at hearings. On the elder law side she handles matters that overlap with financial distress, such as asset protection planning and coordination with public benefits when appropriate.
Her practice blends courtroom work with counseling. She spends time explaining options to clients, assembling financial documents, and negotiating with creditors. She also prepares motions and responses in adversary proceedings as required. The caseload is steady, and the emphasis is practical problem-solving rather than theory.
Outside of casework she has stayed involved in bar and nonprofit activities. Her past leadership at Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida reflects ongoing ties to legal aid and local access-to-justice efforts. She continues to participate in professional groups that address consumer bankruptcy and elder law concerns.
She maintains a solo practice at Stacy A. Eckert, P.A., handling consumer bankruptcy and elder law matters.
