After graduating from Aledo High School, Mr. Stoy attended undergrad at Texas A&M University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Political Science.

Negative Experience
I was referred to Chris Stoy by another attorney. I consulted with Chris and he was extremely nice and understanding about my situation, and made me promises that I could not turn down, so I decided to go ahead and hire him as my attorney. After that initial consultation, his whole demeanor changed. ...

Replied last April 03, 2018Ms. Jennifer Day - I was surprised today to receive a review from you three years after the case settled. The reviewer is "anonymous," but I'm assuming it is you since you are the only client I ever had who wanted a judgment when the defense was offering $50,000 (the policy limits - i.e. the most that would ever be offered) and the defendant's oil and gas assets. I worked tirelessly on your case to force the defendant to turn over all her oil and gas assets. I took no fee from the oil and gas assets, giving them all to you. Since you did not have health insurance, your medical bills were incredibly high - if I recall, somewhere around $100,000. I also went to work for you on the medical bills. I was able to reduce them down to $10,000 after fighting with the medical providers. Because of this, you were still able to put quite a bit of money in your pocket. I can assure you, had you not of obtained my services (or another attorney who would also have charged a percentage on the case), the entire $50,000 would have gone to medical bills and you would have never received the oil and gas assets. If I made you promises I didn't keep, I am sorry. I have tried to call you multiple times to discuss your case but I can never reach you. My door is always open and my phone is always on the hook if you would like to call and work this out.
