Horrible to deal with!

Hired to handle my divorce. Completely unprofessional and nasty attitude. Mishandling of my money as well. Money that was to be returned was not and payments were deducted after I fired her. I would not recommend this person to my worst enemy.

Jill Stone

Replied last February 08, 2017

I am responding to this clients review. This particular client BEGGED me to take his case after he had 3 previous attorneys Since he was incarcerated previously I agreed to help him . I was the attorney who was able to get him divorced however when he requested that I do unethical practices I refused. When he refused to give his spouse a religious divorce out of spite and for no legal reason, I no longer wanted to represent him. He was hurting his children in many ways and I would not advocate for his positions when there was no basis in law or fact. I fired him on several occasions until he again, begged me to continue to be his attorney. I continued until I obtained his judgment of divorce and then he wanted me to continue working for him and I refused. He wanted to negotiate every bill after he caused the bill to be escalated.

An Amazing Attorney

Jill Stone and her associates, especially Melissa, became like a part of our family. They are two of the most understanding, brilliant, sincere women I have ever met. Jill took on a big case for me at first because it was a jurisdiction issue. She went above and beyond and helped find me an attorney ...in Pennsylvania and then kept up with the other attorney until she won me jurisdiction in New York. Jill was honest with me and always kept me informed. She took the time in the rest of the year and half long custody battle to make sure what was best for my son happened. Jill and Melissa we're confident and spoke amazing in front of the judge. She was thorough and guided me the whole way with patience and compassion as it was a hard time for my family and I. After Jill won us jurisdiction she made sure we settled on exactly what was best for my son and I for the present and the future. Never for a second did I doubt her and her abilities as my attorney.

Worst law firm

I was recommended to Jill Stone and wound up being handed off to her lackey, Melissa Young. Neither did anything for me. She was constantly kidding around with my ex's attorney and most of the time, I didn't know whose side she was on. At first, she made it seem like I was in good hands because she w...as a working mother and both of the judges in our case (we had complaints in front of two separate judges) were both working mothers...(did I mention I was brought to court by my ex because I had to go back to work?) Anyway, I wound up settling on a lot of stuff out of court because I was not the least bit confident in her ability to win my case and I was deathly afraid of losing my children. Plus, it has been seven months since the papers were signed and I still have yet to see some of the money my ex owes me. Ms. Young keeps telling me there is a back-up in the court system...b.s. - I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. All bark and no bite!

Amazing

Jill Stone is an amazing lawyer. Not only did she win the case for me, but i recommended her to my two best friends also going through a divorce and she won there cases also along with custody of the children all matters. She also got my nephew out of jail, and comes from a family of lawyers that ...are respected in New York as well through out the country. I highly recommend her to anybody who needs a down to earth lawyer.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Jill Stone to handle some personal matters. While in court, she handled my case with confidence, sensitivity and professionalism. I was so impressed. Mrs. Stone was respectful, knowledgable and compassionate. I would definitely recommend her.
