Stockton is also a member of the Tulalip Tribal Court Bar. Stockton understands the cultural, personal, and historical complexities that come with representing Indigenous persons and communities, both inside and outside of Tribal Court. Stockton recognizes that representation of Indigenous persons goes far beyond just the immediate issues facing the client and often involves addressing and implementing solutions that are holistic, community focused, and intent on creating a positive future.
Stockton has a primary focus on criminal defense and family law. Stockton believes that law never intersects neatly with a person’s life. People’s legal issues are often complex and require comprehensive representation for several different problems occurring simultaneously. Civil litigation issues often can create situations where criminal repercussions are created, and vice versa. Stockton understands the necessities and requirements of balancing the many tiered solutions needed to solve complex intersectional legal problems in a way that is beneficial to the client, allowing them to build toward the future.
When Stockton is not working with clients or in court, he is cooking, traveling, or spending time with his family, dogs, and tortoise.
