About Kenneth
Biography
My name is Ken Stover, and I have spent the last 19 years working on criminal cases. I was a prosecuting attorney for four years, and I have been defending the rights of people who were accused of crimes for 15 years. I understand what you are up against, and I will protect your rights and your future.
"Defense attorneys are the gatekeepers of justice." — Ken Stover
It's true. The prosecution's job is to get a conviction. My job is to see that justice is served on your behalf. During my time as a prosecutor, I watched as many people who had been arrested, were treated unfairly by the courts. I became a defense attorney to prevent that from happening.

amazing!!
I had a frivolous charge, misdemeanor. Ken explained my rights very clearly, set my mind at ease.
