"I cannot tell you how absolutely amazing Stone River Law has been to me and my wife. Stephen, Megan, and Ben have completely exceeded our expectations and handled a case that was only a dream—one they made a reality. I was a convicted felon with over 35 prior bookings and numerous convictions on my record; now I have none. Not to mention, their hospitality is out of this world. I started out looking for an attorney, and I ended up gaining friends. I highly, highly recommend Stone River Law for attorneys you can trust. Thank you, Stephen, Megan, and Ben—absolutely outstanding!"
"I could not have asked for a better outcome. I hope to avoid the need for a lawyer in the future, but if I ever do, I will definitely hire Brad again!"

" When it came time for the arraignment, Brad was able to negotiate with the prosecutor a plea in abeyance, which was the best possible outcome."

"Changed my life for the better. Definitely recommend this firm."
"Brad is most definitely somebody I’ll always remember. Down to earth, reliable, and knows what he’s doing with every pitch thrown at him by the prosecutors."
"This was nothing short of a five star experience. How dealing with any attorney should be communication clear, goal accomplished. As well as a super stress-free experience and I was absolutely 100% confident in dealing with Stephen and Megan. 5/5"
"They are very experienced and have a great team. Everyone was super relatable and comfortable to talk to. They helped me every step of the way and helped me get the best outcome possible. Thank you!"
