never had appointed council that actually could make me feel represented..............

Mr.Stonum handled a couple of cases that I had. Although we did not complete my cases with him he was very helpful and informative. He handled all aspects professionally and seemed truly concerned with my cases.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lee Stonum is one of the most intelligent, zealous advocates I've ever seen. His "take no prisoners" approach when necessary puts fear in the heart of any prosecutor naive enough to get in his way. (There are few of those left.) He has the respect of the bench, the prosecution, and fellow defense attorneys. A premiere trial attorney."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
