A lawyer who cares

I hired Edward after a free consultation. Edward and Mary did a great job handling my case they made sure everything was on time and up-to-date.After they reviewed my case and had all the discovery they said just did that we go to trial so that’s what we set up and eventually the prosecutor lay dow...n the deal with the plea of abbaence and only one account versus the six accounts that they charge me with. Edward and Mary worked with me on payments and Always informed me of when the next court dates were & times. Excellent lawyers that actually care. Great job Edward and Mary!!!!!!

Great Lawyer

Mr.Stone sent a flyer to my home notifying me of a felony being charged against me. I immediately called his office and he answered the call. I talked with him for a solid 45 minutes and when we concluded I immediately new he was my guy! Ed was available any time I had any questions via text, emai...l or phone. I never doubted his expertise and knew he would do anything possible to get me the best outcome for my case. The felony charge against me was thrown out and I walked away a very very happy client! 10 out of 10! Trust this man and never stress when you got Ed in your corner! He is the man! Thank you Ed for all that you did for me I am truly grateful for having you on my side threw this process!

Best Lawyer in entire Utah period!

Edward Stone in my opinion one of the best Lawyers that will give you piece of mind when you hire him. Great communication and not just during business days, but also on the weekends. Edward got both of my cases dismissed. Thank you!!!

Very knowledgeable and an excelllent trial attorney

I had a complex divorce case in Park City. It had the works...valuation of my business, valuation of property I owned prior to the marriage, analysis of complex tax issues. Edward gobbled up all of the issues and explained them effectively to the judge and I received a very very favorable ruling. ...i couldn't be more pleased. He isn't the cheapest lawyer around, and he is very busy, but his paralegal returns all phone calls promptly and meets with Edward several times a day and kept me in the loop. He will be my first phone call if needed in the future.

Don't be fooled by his fake reviews...I was and it cost me.

More questionable reviews? I notice how vague many of these reviews are... Summary: Unless your case is a slam dunk, I would go elsewhere. He will "bill" all your hours. BAD REVIEW Reason: Had to remind him of my case every time we spoke. One time he no call, no showed. Didn't inform me of my r...ight to get my DL back. Didn't give my case much effort, but billed me more than the full amount (interest) of 2800. I had to hire another attorney and got my license back within the first 2 weeks.
