resolved my DUI, reckless, refusal

Eric B. Stone successfully represented me in a case that initially I thought was going to be damage control. Mr. Stone listened carefully to my recollection of events, and immediately let me know that all was not lost. Mr. Stone carefully and methodically used the information I had prepared, couple...d with the evidence collected by the state, and was able to craft a suitable defense. Mr. Stone's legal expertise coupled with his local knowledge and understanding of what prosecutors and courts are likely going to do, led us down a winning path. His ability to work with the court, and the prosecutor was key in gaining the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Eric Stone for your legal defense.

Reckless Driving

Mr. Stone is a true miracle worker! I was cited for reckless driving on my way back from Virginia Beach. He not only provided amazing advice, but was willing to work with me and explain patiently the in's and out's of the legal process. Also, his secretary and paralegal were always able to answer any... questions i had. I am so lucky that Mr. Stone was involved in my case and will recommend him to anyone! He is the reason I am sitting at home and not in jail.

Fantastic Lawyer

Eric Stone is the lawyer you need to hire in Stafford. Whatever your legal issue is, he will break it down and help you understand clearly what you can expect. Mr. Stone is incredibly accurate in predicting what the outcome will be in any case. He was able to tell me exactly which charges would be di...smissed and where we should focus on gaining the best outcome. It was clear to me that he has a great relationship with the Stafford county court system and will argue on your behalf to make sure that you don't get a bad deal. Thanks Eric!

Great Attorney

Truly a honorable person foremost and an exceptional attorney. On the first initial consolation through the phone Mr. Stone ensured me that everything was going to be fine, he briefly explained to me about my situation and how the courts would handle it, talking to him gave me a great sense of relief.... The day i walked in to the office's of Eric Stone i was greeted and spoke to Nathanael Buczek, he was very informative and told me the possibilities of my case and informed me what i needed to do, Nathanael is a very well spoken attorney. Along the way as the days came closer to my trial date Mr. Stone, Nathanael and the Staff members kept me informed, calling and emailing me updates. I Cannot stress enough how professional and courteous they are, walking me step by step on how things would go and what i should do. The day of reckoning arrived, charged with reckless driving by speed 103/65, i had a fair clue on what was going to occur given all the consultation, it would be a combination of jail time, suspended license up to 12 months, and a hefty fine. As we stood before the honorable judge, the prosecution urged before the judge that i should be incarcerated for reckless driving for the excessive speed of 103 mph in a 65 mph zone. The outcome of my case was absolutely outstanding, more than what i even hoped for nevertheless even what i expected, my mindset walking into the courtroom that day was that i'd be going to jail for a week or so. The judge's sentence was 10 days of suspended jail time, 30 days suspended license and a fine. Without a doubt, if it were not for Nathanael's remarkable ability to build upon my case and argue on my behalf, i certainly would of been sentence to jail. I would like to thank Mr. Stone and Mr. Buczek, truly exceptional attorneys at law and i highly recommend them to anyone who is need of help.
