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.

Miracle Worker!

Mr. Stone worked a miracle! He provided legal counsel regarding a driver's license issue where my driving privileges were in serious peril, and he worked tirelessly with me to resolve the matter so that no privileges were lost. I would not have been able to resolve this matter without his expert as...sistance and advice. He was extremely professional yet personable and provided much needed honest and candid feedback as well. I felt as though he was personally vested in my case to the extent that he went above and beyond what even I expected to seek a resolution on my behalf including out of town travel on several occasions. As luck would have it, I had to deal with this same issue yet again a few weeks ago after learning that a court failed to properly document the outcome of my case. Even though I had not spoken with Mr. Stone in quite some time, I was able to reach him and he resolved the secondary issue on that same date within a matter of hours. I would highly recommend Mr. Stone without any hesitation at all and will absolutely seek his counsel again in the future should the need arise.

Dismissed Everything

No one ever plans on needing an attorney but life happens, and when it does it's great to know help is just a call away. My family has hired Wesley on several occasions from very serious family related matters to traffic violations for our son (all were dismissed), and I personally couldn't imagine... facing a court system without Wesley by our side. He's confident in what he does, I don't think anyone could make him feel intimidated. Wesley is a fighter, doesn't back down when things get rough. Anytime I contacted Wesley he always got back with me in a timely manner. Wesley is always upfront about what to expect, the best and worst case scenario. Wesley is personable and one of the most down to earth people I've ever met, just an all around good guy, he's not only our attorney but also our friend. I highly recommend Wesley Stone to anyone needing an attorney, as far as we're concerned, he's the only choice. You won't be disappointed!

Extremely personable and knowledgeable

Mr. Stone was more than helpful in taking on my case. He was quick to respond to phone calls and any questions that I had. He gave me exceptional advice and showed up to every judicial meeting I had to attend. He has reasonable fees and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

"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."
