First and Last Estate Planning and Probate Attorney you will ever need,

Tom Stone is an excellent attorney. His ability to communicate with his clients sets him apart; but, his knowledge of the law, relating to your personal case, places him far and above other similar lawyers. Mr. Stone communicates in a timely manner explaining steps, details, and what to expect ne...xt. Keeping his clients up to speed on the process. I highly recommend Tom Stone for any estate planning or probate needs.

Estate planning

I was a single mom for many years. Tom helped me with my estate planning so that my son would be protected, and financially sound in the event of my death. Words can't begin to describe the peace you feel when you know your loved ones will be protected after you're gone. Tom made the whole process... very easy. He is extremely knowledgeable and very professional while still making you feel as if your just discussing things over with a trusted friend.

Run, Don't Walk to Tom Stone

I'd known Tom socially for some time, but never expected to need his services. When I was presented with a contract I thought was a bit fishy, I decided to get a professional set of eyes on it. Tom thoroughly reviewed it and counseled me not to sign. As a result, I will save myself countless dollars ...and legal headaches. Tom is personable, accessible, and keeps detailed records (you never know when those will be needed!) If you are tired of dealing with corporate firms and want to know the one attorney with whom you will be dealing, Tom is your guy.
