I am an attorney in California. I was a paralegal for 15 years before becoming a lawyer. I worked full time as a paralegal while attending law school at night and graduated summa cum laude. It was hard work, but I loved it because I genuinely love the law and find it fascinating.
After law school, I partnered with my former boss and our firm name is Morris & Stone, LLP. I have been practicing law for almost 9 years now. My firm practices primarily in the areas of defamation (slander, libel and trade libel), defense to defamation, anti-SLAPP litigation, intentional interference with contract (and/or prospective economic advantage), breach of contract, and other business-related litigation (trade secret violation, validity of non-compete agreements, etc.) as well as real estate law (sales disputes, homeowner association/homeowner disputes, quiet title, etc.), and general civil litigation.
When I'm not lawyering, I am a bit of a TV addict and a voracious fiction reader. (I know. LIke I don't read enough as a lawyer.. . ) I also just like to hang out my dog or relax with the family. If you need a lawyer that genuinely cares about her clients, and getting the best result, I'm your girl.

I hired Morris & Stone to represent me on a Construction Management issue. She was professional & most of all worked with me on payments since I am a self-employed, self-supporting individual. Having her on board has helped to relieve the stress a law suit can cause. She was receptive & available i...

Deanna is very professional and willing to help. I called for a free consultation and was surprised that my question was answered so thoroughly that I was able to proceed without a lawyer. Deanna answered all of my questions and at no time did I feel she was waiting for me to hire her. She was genuin...
"Ms. Stone first came to work with me as a paralegal. It became immediately apparent that she had a brilliant legal mind, so I encouraged her to attend law school. Not surprisingly, she graduated at the top of her class on a full scholarship, and became a partner in the firm. She has mastered the rare ability among attorneys to aggressively advocate for her clients while still maintaining a good professional relationship with her adversaries. Ms. Stone is an amazing attorney."
"Deanna is a fantastic lawyer. She will fight relentlessly for her clients and provides the highest level of service. I endorse this lawyer."
"Deanna is a very passionate and knowledgeable representative for her clients. She has very successfully represented in clients in various matters. I endorse this lawyer."
