DUI Defense

I put myself in a situation that, to me, seemed completely hopeless and I was certain I was going to lose my freedom for a good stretch of time. If it had not been for Wesley Stone, that would have been certain. Mr. Stone was extremely professional, hard-working, communicative, and understanding of... my situation. He always kept me informed and did everything in his legal power to best represent me in my case. I owe not only my peace of mind to Mr. Stone, but also my freedom. Forever indebted to this man.

I'm simply astounded at the speed at which my legal predicament was resolved. He kept us informed at every turn and was more than fair on the price. I would recommend him to anyone.

Pleasure to Work With

Mr. Stone genuinely cares about his clients. At a time of great stress and unknowns he put me at ease knowing that he was a great attorney and had my best interest in mind. He was straight forward with what was going to happen. I never had a doubt that he was taking excellent care with my case. Mr. S...tone is friends with many people who work in the judicial system and these connections undoubtedly helped grease the wheels for my case and resulted in the best outcome possible.

Outstanding, highly recommend Mr Wesley Stone

Mr Stone is a outstanding, caring and knowledgeable lawyer. Never having had any legal problems,he quickly got all my information and record by the time I got to his office, the same day that I called for appt. he was so efficient, gave all options good and bad. Came up with a plan of action and got... to work. Long story short, the outcome was far and above what i expected. He gave me back my dignity and faith in my fellow man. If ever the need arises for anyone in need of great legal help I ask that you would consider Mr Stone. He has my gratitude for a job very well done.

So grateful!

I can not sing Wesley's praises high enough! I had always tried my best to be a respectful, law abiding citizen. But one day I found myself with an arrest for a class E felony! I was embarrassed, humiliated but most of all really scared! A friend of a friend recommended Wesley. From the very beginn...ing he was professional, very knowledgeable and specific. But most importantly he put me at ease. He took all my cares and worries from me, assuring me he would not quit until everything was made right! I slept for the first time that night. Wesley always had time for me. He answered every phone call or text. And he was clear and patient with me, always explaining every step along the way. On the day of sessions court, he met me with the statement "I will NOT settled for anything less than your charges dropped!" He was prepared THAT DAY to go all the way to a jury trial if needed. He knew his way around the court proceedings and I could see the respect the Assistant DA had for him. He not only got all charges dropped and my confiscated item returned, but my record was expunged the very same day! Wesley knows what he is doing and he does it very well! I will always be grateful to God and to my friend for finding a great lawyer for me! I not only had complete satisfaction, but I feel like I gained a friend. Thank you Wesley. I will always be grateful!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I see Mr. Stone on a daily basis at the courthouse, and I have defended a case with him involving 4 co-defendants. He is a super guy and juries seem to relate very well to him, and that is a huge benefit to the client. He is always willing to let me bend his ear on any issue. He is comfortable in the courtroom and he has an awesome way of getting the witnesses to come around to agreeing with what he is saying or asking."
