Went above and beyond!!

We hired Wesley Stone as a defense attorney and are so pleased with the results! He is easy to trust, down to earth, straightforward, and an expert in the courtroom. He has great relationships with colleagues, judges, and his clients. His knowledge of the law is impeccable and his interpersonal skil...ls are top notch! We can’t say enough about how much he helped us and very highly recommend him!

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.

Absolutely amazing!

I can not begin to describe how pleased and happy I have been with Mr. Stone and his services. I enlisted Mr. Stone's services for a felony criminal charge. He was extremely professional yet also personable throughout the entire process. He also communicated with me extremely well and in a very timel...y manner. I was almost taken aback with his communication efforts. He was able to not only get the felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor but also use judicial diversion to have it expunged in the future! This is even more impressive due to a prior misdemeanor conviction I already have. Again, I have been blown away by Mr. Stone and the entire process and would very highly recommend his knowledgable services to anyone that may be interested!

Tireless Hero

Mr. Stone did an excellent job in handling my criminal case. If more than five stars were an option, I would give him more. He took time to learn about my situation, complete research and instruct me on what to do and how to act. He had a genuine concern for me and my family throughout the case. He h...ad a keen sense of the situation and demonstrated extreme concern with my well-being. Mr. Stone is organized and very communicative. He accommodated me throughout the process and had a complete understanding of the law, my situation, the paths forward and potential outcomes. Mr. Stone was also extremely fair in billing time. I could not have made a better choice and am beyond thankful for his hard work and dedication. I highly recommend Mr. Stone.

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."
