Awesome lawyer. Absolutely I would recommend and have recommended him. He did a great job. Told me the truth, weather I liked it or not. He was on top of things and the most important answered the phone even late at night. Thank you Mitch.
"I strongly endorse Mr. Stone. I had the pleasure of working alongside him in a federal wire fraud case in which we had separate clients. He did a fantastic job on the case, and I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges."
"Mitch is a stellar attorney. He's a zealous courtroom advocate, and one of the hardest working attorneys I've met. He's respected throughout the entire state for his DUI expertise, and any lawyer who is serious about DUI defense is grateful to Mitch for everything he does to organize the annual DUI seminar, "Blood, Breath & Tears." I would highly recommend hiring Mitch if you need help with a criminal case."
"You cannot go wrong hiring Mitch Stone to represent you. He doesn't just "handle" cases. He litigates cases and litigates successfully. I fully endorse Mitch Stone."
"Mitch Stone is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He knows how to effectively advocate for the client. He has the trial skills that are admired by fellow defense attorneys, prosecuctors, and the judges. If you, a family member, or friend is faced with a difficult situation in the form of an arrest or criminal prosecution, Mitch Stone is a great choice to serve as the defense attorney."
"I endorse Mitchell. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Mitchell Stone is an excellent lawyer who agressively advocates for his clients. I recommend him highly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred several DUI criminal cases to Mitch. When I was a prosecutor, I handled cases against him. He is trustworthy as an opposing lawyer and he provides an aggressive defense for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have referred him criminal cases, since I handle only the immigration portion, and he has done a SUPERB job on handling all of the cases referred to him. He is hard working and can get a job done that no one else can do! I highly recommend his work and refer all of my clients that need a criminal attorney to him. I have heard nothing but great things from my clients that I have sent to him. Also, his staff is very friendly and helpful."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have sent several clients to Mitch and all have been very pleased with his work. He is regarded as the premier DUI defense lawyer in Jacksonville. I would highly recommend him."
