Truly Personalized Service

So I came to Too with questions and concerns regarding Bankruptcy. He took about an hour the first visit and just went over EVERYTHING with me and my partner. Todd was totally laid back, laughed and joked around, educated us and made me NOT feel like a failure because of having to file. Roughly 2 mon...ths later I made contact with Todd again to move forward with the process. We totally picked up as if we just saw each other the other day. He responded to text messages in a timely manner, is funny as all hell, and genuinely a great person. During my court date, Todd showed up on time, great energy, took a few minutes and went over everything with me on what to expect and we were in and out of there in literally 5 minutes! I have already recommended Todd to 3 people , 2 bankruptcies and a criminal case suit and stand behind my review of him 100%, if you don't like him then there is probably something off with you, just saying lol :) Best of Luck Todd with your practice and I'll always recommend you and you have a client for life with me!

Experienced and friendly

Todd was excellent. I was lost when I was served with a lawsuit. Todd called me within a minute of payment. He answered every question I had and a few I hadn't even thought of. I'm now confident going forward. Thanks Todd!

Great and helpful lawyer

Todd is great!! I arrived at my court date and my lawyer did not show. Todd happened to be there with his own client and stepped up to save the day. He told the judge that he would be willing to help me if he could, so I spoke with Mr. Stoneman and updated him on my case. The judge set a new cour...t date and Todd, not only showed up, he won my case and put an end to my 3 year court case in one day. He was amazing!!!! My court case is finally over thanks to Todd. I don't know what I would have done without him. I am so grateful!

Highly Recommended - Todd is Fantastic!

Todd Stoneman is a class act through and through. From day one when I spoke to him on the phone regarding my case, he was extremely compassionate, patient, and empathic. None of my questions seemed ridiculous or a waste of his time - none of my fears or concerns were considered frivilous or unjustifi...ed. Todd made himself available whenever I needed to speak with him and proved his knowledge of the legal and court system time after time. He went out of his way to learn about me, to give me advice on what I should do, and to speak openly and emotionally on my behalf. Every time I spoke with Todd, I felt better and more confident about how things would turn out. Todd is professional (though not without a touch of approprite humor) and generous, working with me to make sure my needs to taken care of. I never felt like a criminal or just another client to him - he definitely gave the impression that he honestly cared about my situation. And it showed in his work. His dedication is commendable; there was even one court appearance when he dragged himself from Longmont to Boulder despite a terrible cold that had him shaking with chills - he still made it there! I would highly recommend Todd Stoneman to anyone needing high quality legal counsel or represenation. While I hope to never need his services again, I would return to him for assistance without hesitation if it came to it. Thank you, Todd, for all your help!

A Resounding Yes!

My initial contact with Todd was impressive...wow! He returned my call timely. He answered my questions and addressed my concerns. He was knowledgeable, straight forward and confident with his answers and in his ability to help me. But most importantly, he conveyed to me that he was trustworthy a...nd a person of integrity. After choosing Stoneman Legal to represent me, I can honestly say that Todd's professional efforts were thorough, competent, genuine, and compassionate. He had my best interest at heart. I found his business ethics refreshing. Would I recommend his services? Yes, of course, a resounding yes!

"Todd Stoneman is the most authentic attorney I know in Colorado. He has mastered the art form of deconstructing difficult legal problems while always making the client's needs a priority. Todd's unique personal and professional experiences prior to becoming an attorney bring vitality to an otherwise bland industry. I often refer to Todd individuals who have legal issues with bankruptcy and criminal defense in the Denver and Boulder metro areas."

"I met Mr. Stoneman at the Bankruptcy Court in Denver while we were both waiting for our cases to be called. Immediately I determined that Mr. Stoneman was different from many other attorneys, he was over the top nice to me (a stranger). Looking at his other reviews, he is the same with his clients. I am happy to endorse Mr. Stoneman, he is an asset to the profession."

"If you are in need of a top notch litigant then you should trust Mr. Stoneman with your matter whether it is a bankruptcy matter, criminal defense matter, or landlord tenant matter, you can rest easy knowing that you will be in good hands and have thorough representation. As we are attorneys, we do not practice in every field of law and thus, we are faced with situations where we need to refer people to different attorneys and I would not hesitate to refer people to Mr. Stoneman."

"I endorse Todd in all possible areas - not just criminal defense. If I needed to hire an attorney, I'd have no hesitation hiring him, and I can't imagine choosing to be partners with any other attorney. Todd is brilliantly smart, ethical, and enjoyable to work with. If you're looking for a personable attorney who will do everything in his power to get the best possible outcome for you - including brainstorming solutions beyond the "norm" - Todd should be your first choice. If you want a stuffy, stereotypical attorney, look elsewhere!"

"Todd is insightful and very intelligent. In smaller legal communities such as Longmont, it's important to maintain the highest level of integrity; but Todd maintains a reputation in the Metro Area community at large of being a capable and compassionate lawyer. I continue to refer clients outside of my own practice areas to him and am always confident that he will represent them with undivided loyalty."
