Grateful

Mr. Stoker was my second attorney. I had lost custody of one of my children to their Father. Mr. Stoker was able to get back into court, and prove the types of alienation tactics that his Father was using on him to persuade my son to live with him. Mr. Stoker got my son back and our family together a...gain.

Liar and a thief

This man promised to get me more custody on the first court date and even more custody over six months. We went to court only one time and nothing changed except for a little more holiday time that the other party asked for. They told me to be at there office with some paperwork when they opened and ...when I got there I waited for over an hour before they called me and told me to leave it in the mailbox. He never even brought it to court or even looked at it. It has been two months and he still has not filed the paperwork for after the hearing. He has been disciplined by the bar for previous cases and I am personally writing the bar so that this man has to answer for his actions. I have called several times since then and no one has ever called me back. If you hire him he will tell you whatever you want to hear then just steal your money!

Excellent Job

Mr. Stoker took over my case after my first attorney told me to just settle for what was being offered, which was 50% shared agreement. He was much different in his approach. He fought for me. It was like night and day difference in the court room. He made my ex-husband look stupid, which was worth i...t for me. I got full custody of my boys. My ex said he wasn't going to try to fight me anymore for the boys. I know hiring Mr. Stoker was the best decision I made.

Best probate and child custody lawyer

Excellent lawyer! Ira is a pit bull. He is aggressive and honest. Ira won our termination of parental rights and adoption. We will always be extremely grateful. Ira was there every step of the way with us during the toughest time in our lives. He saved our grandson's life. I have referred Ira Stoker ...to our friends and he won there case also.

Ther...e is no one else we would ever want to hire, we recommend him to everyone.
