Represented Me on DCFS Case

Mr. Stone represented me on appealing a DCFS case. He thoroughly prepared me for the hearing going over all questions. He was well prepared for the hearing as well. Mr. Stone's passion for his work is relevant during his trials. He will represent you well with a honest dedicated work ethic.

Traffic ticket

Hired Blake Stone for help on speeding tickets one was not in will in county but he drove south to get it cleared up. I didn't expect him to travel out of will county but he did. He also worked with me on payments due to financial hardship. He also gives out his cell and actually answers when you cal...l. I was even able to get ahold of him on weekends which is best for me. I would recommend Blake to friends.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Blake Stone will make a difference in your case. Not only does he know the law after two decades in public service as a criminal prosecutor in DuPage County, service with the Illinois Attorney General, as well as Army service most recently at the Pentagon, Blake's interpersonal skills make him a game-changer. An expert legal mind with proven results, he also makes clients feel comfortable with the processes, the time involved, the back-and-forth, and taking steps to reach stated objectives. He is sharp, smart, energetic, and trustworthy. I value his judgment in personal, business, and legal matters and seek it out often."
