Stacey Villagomez is a senior counsel in the firm’s Orange County office, where she represents property owners, developers, investors, and closely held businesses in complex commercial and real estate litigation. Her practice centers on landlord-tenant disputes, lease and contract litigation, and business conflicts where legal strategy and business judgment go hand in hand. Stacey's long-standing clients rely on her as their primary litigation counsel.
Stacey is a hands-on litigator who takes ownership of her matters and is prepared to see cases through trial or arbitration when necessary. She is frequently entrusted with leading matters independently and advising clients on litigation strategy with minimal day-to-day oversight. Her experience spans the full lifecycle of a case, from early risk assessment and pre-litigation strategy through discovery, dispositive motion practice, settlement negotiations, and trial or arbitration hearings.
Known for her calm, practical approach, Stacey helps clients navigate high-stakes disputes without losing sight of the business realities driving them. She is a clear communicator, a disciplined strategist, and a persuasive advocate, valued for her ability to distill complex issues into decisive, actionable guidance. Clients appreciate her responsiveness, credibility, and judgment, particularly when the path forward is uncertain or the stakes are high.
Stacey partners closely with decision-makers to align litigation strategy with broader commercial goals, whether that means pursuing an efficient resolution or pressing forward aggressively when the circumstances demand it. She approaches each matter with focus, accountability, and a commitment to delivering results her clients can stand behind.
Stacey is actively involved in the legal community. She serves on the Board of Governors of the Philippine American Bar Association (PABA) and remains an active member of the Asian Pacific American Bar Association (APABA), the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles (WLALA) and the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA).
