Christopher James Stockwell

Members of the firm provided excellent, timely and professional service. The quality of the legal services was exceptional. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and a true subject matter expert. Laura as case manager was incredibly organized, thoughtful and usually responded to my requests within 24 hour...s. The cost and scope of the services was accurately described and there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend the Stockwell Law Firm without hesitation.

At the absolute pinnacle of my career, I was presented with what I believed was a life-changing opportunity. I signed an employment contract under At-Will Employment, packed up my life, and prepared to start a new chapter. Then, in a devastating turn, the company rescinded the offer at the very last ...minute—leaving me blindsided, unemployed, and in financial distress. When I reached out to Chris Stockwell's firm, he was backlogged, and I wasn’t sure if anyone would even take the time to hear me out. That’s when Laura Porto stepped in. And I can’t overstate this—Laura is the reason this case even made it to Chris. Her compassion, her attention to detail, and her incredible ability to spot a true case gave me hope when I had none. She didn’t just see paperwork—she saw the person behind it. When Chris picked up the case, he delivered. He crafted a stellar demand letter rooted in promissory estoppel and breach of contract, and he stood strong through multiple rounds of tough, drawn-out negotiation. Thanks to Chris’s expertise and relentless advocacy, I walked away with a $60,000 settlement check. If you are looking for legal representation that combines talent, integrity, and a deep human understanding—Chris Stockwell and Laura Porto are the team you want in your corner. They don’t just fight for what’s fair—they fight for you. I’ll be forever grateful.

I cannot recommend Christopher and his firm highly enough! After being wrongfully terminated by my former employer, I felt lost, stressed, and unsure if I could ever find justice. From our very first consultation, his Legal Assistant Laura put me at ease and guided me throughout the process, what to ...expect, and required information. I knew that I was in good hands by their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine empathy. If you are facing a workplace dispute, especially a wrongful termination, you need a fearless and dedicated advocate by your side. Christopher and his team are that advocate. They are highly respected, incredibly effective, and the reason I was able to successfully take on a powerful organization and win. Thank you, Chris, for fighting for me and changing my life for the better!

Representation is critical. Chris was the only reason that my employer took my claim seriously. Chris was reassuring when I was stressed. He responded to my questions and concerns quickly. And Chris also worked with me to take payments. He was actually referred to me by a super high priced attorney's... office. I feel very lucky that Chris represented me.

I couldn’t possibly recommend Chris and Laura enough after their outstanding support and representation in my wrongful termination/discrimination case. From the very beginning, they made sure I felt validated and reassured, and it was clear that they were highly skilled and knowledgeable in what they... do. Laura was not only incredibly thorough and attentive while gathering information from me, she was also warm, compassionate, understanding and patient, and I knew she truly had my back since the moment I began speaking with her. Chris was willing to take time out of his busy days to talk with me whenever I had questions or concerns, and was very responsive and confident in what he was doing. These two are a well-oiled machine and a great team who clearly trust and respect one another. We settled my case in mediation and I felt completely at ease. And, thanks to the confident reassurance from my legal team, I even enjoyed the process! It helped that Chris was motivated from the start to build a trusting relationship with not only the opposing legal team, but the mediator as well. Everything he did was well thought out, strategic and proved his strength and knowledge in everything having to do with employment law. We settled with a much better outcome than I thought possible, much faster than I thought possible. If you are seeking a reliable and trusty legal team who will have your back and set your mind at ease every step of the way, this is the legal team for you. They truly have been the brightest light in a very, very dark period of my life and I will forever be so grateful. Thank you Chris and Laura!
