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.

A review of my great experience with Wesley Stone as my attorney

I have recently had the pleasure of having Wesley as my attorney to defend my DUI charge from this past summer. I am extremely happy with the results of the case and didn't expect, or even imagine, such results. My DUI charge was reduced to a reckless driving conviction, and he made several negotiati...ons with the judge and sheriff to GREATLY reduce my penalty. He spent countless hours listening to my concerns and about what I wanted and didn't want to happen with my conviction and its penalties, and he went above and beyond to work out solutions that far exceeded my expectations. Wesley is extremely compassionate about his clients and will do everything in his power to get you the best possible outcome. If you are reading this now then it's likely that you are in some kind of legal trouble and are looking for the best attorney to defend you in your case. I was lucky to have a good friend who recommended him to me, who hired him for her DUI case in the past. She spent some time looking for the right lawyer and told me that just from her first impressions of Wesley that he stood out from other attorneys she'd met as being the most sincere, and her gut feeling told her that Wesley was the right attorney for her. After discussing with my friend about her experience with Wesley and after speaking with him I decided to hire him for my case, and I am very glad I made that decision. I would advise anyone who's in a stressful predicament with the law to hire him or at least talk to him about your case, because he will listen to you and work with you to come to the best solution possible. He also gives very good advice, and if you are lost on what to do about legal situations he can help guide you on what he thinks the best decision for you to make would be. Throughout the past few months I have come to know Wesley better, and I have found that he has tons of integrity and is also very intelligent, honest, hard working, compassionate, and humble to name a few. He really knows what he's doing in the court of law and is happy to explain and answer any questions you may have about the legal system. Many attorneys will try and sell themselves to you and tell you how they are "the best". I received plenty of mail from various attorneys after my offense who trying to sell themselves, but Wesley will not sell himself to you to make money. I have seen first hand what he is capable of doing, and he was able to achieve better results in my case than the lawyers who claim to be the "best" and charge you 15 grand to get those results. He cares about his clients and isn't just trying to make a quick buck, and the results I got were honestly worth a lot more to me than what I payed for. Whatever legal situation you are in, I assume you are very concerned and stressed out about how things are going to turn out and what the court's rulings are going to be. I highly recommend contacting Wesley. From my experience I can say with confidence that if you hire him you are putting your legal matters into the right hands. I am very grateful for all his compassion and hard work in fighting to defend me against the court, and I am very impressed with the final results he was able to obtain in my case.

"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."
