Felony DUI

I was going through a difficult time in my life which led me down the path to meeting Kieth. I had worked with previous attorneys and was very disappointed with the way I was treated and represented. Keith was a completely different experience. His office staff was very friendly I was always put thro...ugh to him if I called and he was in the office, if not he always called back very promptly. I didn't feel like just another number and he actually took the time to get to know me. He was absolutely amazing in court. His knowledge of the system and how best to approach things was incredible. When he cross examined the cop he spent at least 30 minutes and left no stone unturned. It was like watching an episode of Perry Mason. Because of how detailed and though-rough he was we ended up winning the case outright. I have been given a new lease on life thanks to Keith and firm he represents. All I can say at this point is Thank you! I would recommend him to anyone and will for sure use him again should the need ever arise. If you are reading this trying to decide. Stop now and call his firm. Best decision I could have made.

Best Criminal Defense Attourney in the WORLD!!!!!

I just wanted to express my profound gratitude and appreciation for Keith Stoney, for his support and representation.  He was an incredible source of strength and comfort during a very difficult time in our lives. He's truly the very best at what he does, and is a kind and compassionate person in add...ition to his exceptional expertise and experience!  I would recommend his services to anyone I care about, I trust him with my life, he saved my life as well as my family. I will never be able to express how truly grateful I am to him! He was explicit about what we needed to do to assist in our case, as well as the expense, it was done in a way that makes the best representation accessible to everyone. Instead of charging a huge flat rate, or retainer, he provided us with help step by step, always giving us all the information we needed to make the best informed decision for us. Anyone who thinks that they have the greatest attorney in the world, look into their education, and Keith Stoney trained them!  He is highly respected if not feared by the entire state judicial system, they all know he's the best, because he simply is the best! A+++++ Thank you Keith Stoney, you have my highest respect and appreciation. I am to you forever. If I ever have a problem in the future, I assure you, Keith Stoney will be my first phone call. Love Keith Stoney!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Great guy

This guy is who you want to hire. He is honest and will give you the best bang for your buck. We were able to resolve a case before trial I'm very satisfied. Highly recommended this guy. Easy to work with as well.

The best lawyer out there! Keith Stoney

Earlier this year (2016) I learned I had warrants out for my arrest for charges I was unaware of. I knew immediately who I wanted to call to help get the matter resolved. Keith Stoney. I gave him a call and explained what happened and the charges against me. Keith took my case. He kept me updated thr...oughout the process, educating me along the way if ever I had confusion. He is extremely knowledgeable with the processes of the court. He was always very well prepared and organized. My case never went to trial, because Keith was able to get the charges against me dropped. I highly recommend Keith Stoney as your criminal defense lawyer! He is the best out there.

I can't say thank you enough

My husband was dealing with DUI and drug paraphernalia charges. They were not his first charges and we already came to term that He would become a felon. Not only Stoney got everything dropped, only 24 hours community service and a fine. I could never say thank you enough from day one. He has worke...d with us with payments, was straight forward. Now my husband has his driver's license back and we are moving forward in a positive way in our life. You want someone to get thing done, Stoney will make sure of it.

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.
