Great Job!

I was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. Ken Stover was able get the charges dropped before the trial date. I couldn't be happier with the representation I received.

Great Advice and Straightforward

Ken was the second lawyer I had consulted regarding a drivers license issue. The first "lawyer" told me he could resolve my issue for a $7500 flat fee. Ken's consultation allowed me to resolve my issue with a money order of $135. I am very grateful that I called him and that he gave me great advice a...nd did not attempt to take me for a wild ride. If you want a lawyer who is actually on your side, you better call Ken!

amazing!!

I had a frivolous charge, misdemeanor. Ken explained my rights very clearly, set my mind at ease. He explained the worse case scenario, what he knew he could get me and that he would try for dismissal of charges. He never promised the miracles and I appreciated his straight up approach. He is well kn...own in the system (for good reasons) and a great lawyer, he has been doing this a long time and you can tell. I was able to put my trust in him and relax. He ended up getting my charges dismissed. I'm very grateful cause this charge could have ruined my life and made my degree worthless.

Best. Attorney. Ever.

Ken is a rare find in the legal world. His ability to navigate our justice system, both in procedure and in politics, is unparalleled. Also unrivaled is his ability to create true resolution amidst even the most dire circumstances. With Ken as your attorney you will not only get the best representati...on and swift resolution of your case, you will also gain a trusted confidant and mentor. Your faith in attorneys will likely be renewed through even the briefest of contacts with him. I am eternally grateful for having Ken as my attorney and highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking. I can guarantee you will not find another like him.
