Posted by Susan | March 22, 2021 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unprofessional

I placed a phone call to this lawyer to inquire about legal help. While his receptionist was helpful, Mr. Stock did not have the professionalism or courtesy to even return my telephone call. Having worked with prominent attorneys for over 20 years, I expected to hear back from him whether or not he c...ould provide legal services to me. What a disappointment.

Wins all his cases as you slide your check across his desk to him!

Failed to show for a custody hearing. No show and no answer to my calls. Later blamed his "day planner". His office is or was across the street from the Wheaton courthouse. Later in the case I find out Mr. Stock talked directly with my ex without my knowledge and not through her attorney! When I conf...ronted him about this his reply was " You two need to quit fighting". I hired him because we couldn't and don't. Took one more retainer knowing case was over. This guy is worthless. I believe he mentioned a son perhaps following in his footsteps. Watch YOUR step if you see the name Stock!

Very helpful

He carefully reviewed my case and made several insightful and helpful recommendations. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
