We Highly recommend Mr Stone. So do other attorneys!!

Mr Stone is a completely professional, knowledgeable and personable attorney. His name was given to us by other Knoxville law firms.He took our daughters case, knew immediately what to do and handled it. No dragging it out. He did everything he said he would and now she is moving on with her life. W...ould use him again if we needed to.

Great lawyer

I don't even know where to begin with Mr. Stone and his professionalism. He went above an beyond in handling my case. Made sure I understood every last detail before an after my trial. He's definitely a double edge sword. He knows his stuff. I hope I do don't have to see him agin but if i do i know e...xactly who to call. Mr. Wesley Stone.

Knowledgeable and hands-on

Mr. Stone is responsive to his client's needs and very knowledgeable. He got my charge deferred without any additional terms. He makes sure you understand what will happen when you go to court and puts you at ease. I hope I never need him again, but if I do I know he will take good care of me.

A very caring, diligent and knowledgeable lawyer

My son got into a little legal issue on a Friday afternoon. We live out of state so I did research on lawyers and found plenty of amazing reviews for Mr. Stone. So I emailed him late Friday in hopes to hear from him on Monday morning. Mr. Stone went above and beyond and called me Friday evening to... explain to me what needs to be done moving forward. He then made time on his schedule to speak to both me and my son so we both heard the same information at the same time. Mr. Stone was thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate and was completely supportive during this process. Being in another state and not knowing what would happen to my son was frightening but Mr. Stone calmed my fears and I knew we would be fine in his hands during this process. I couldn't have picked a better lawyer. He was straight forth, honest and friendly. He gave us best and worse scenarios. He gave us a step by step list of what to expect and what was needed. He left no stone un turn to ensure we understood and we provided him the necessary documents for him to perform his job. I would recommend Mr. Stone a million times over. He is an amazing lawyer and a true representation of the good of the law.

Wesley Stone

Mr. Stone was an excellent lawyer. He took my case and met with me at times of my convenience. He was very knowledgeable about my case and explained all the possible outcomes. He worked with me to make sure I understood my choices. He explained the process to me and made it a breeze. The court experi...ence went smooth as can be. We were in and out in about an hour and 30 minutes and got the results we wanted. He was an excellent lawyer for me and I'd recommend him to anyone.

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."
