Not only has James Stone of Stone Law Group been an amazing attorney to me during this entire process but he has also became a great friend as well.
After my accident James has helped me get my life back together mentally, physically & financially. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. His work ethic is phenomenal and I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done for me.
I love how family orientated this law firm is and I am 100% happy I choose James to represent for me.
If you are reading this because you are looking for a great personal injury attorney, trust me. This group of guys will not let you down and I definitely recommend him to you.

I reached out to Mike Regas after an automobile accident I had been involved in. I’m an anxious person, especially with things like this, and had never dealt with anything like this before and I cannot express enough how happy I was with the service Mike provided. He kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions really quickly, even the really silly ones. Because of his help with the legal side of the accident I was able to focus more on my health side of things and take care of myself. He simplified everything to where I could understand and was very personable. I would definitely recommend Mike and his team. They do a great job and I was very happy with my outcome!

I was represented by James Stone in a difficult personal injury case. I was dealing with government insurance adjusters and board of commissioners so it wasn't as simple as pleading a case. James was fantastic though. I would send over information I had and James would stay busy. If I had any question James would answer them in words that someone outside of the law practice could understand. I went through three different law offices trying to find someone with the knowledge to handle my case and James, with Stone Law, not only handled my case but conquered it as well. I will be referring James Stone to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

Marie was amazing!! Overall the experience was smooth. They will continue fighting with you and go as far as you want to go while remaining transparent though out the process. The other party tried to settle for an amount that I was not comfortable with and acted like they wasn't gonna budge. YEA RUGHT) and I chose to continue pushing which my lawyer was more than willing to continue pushing with me. During mediation I was able to settle for 30k more than they originally tried to lowball me for. Overall I would recommend this law firm to everyone. Let them know Kashif sent you!!

I am so very thankful to have met Gary and appreciative of the approach that he uses to navigate very difficult discussions. Gary Alembik has a mastery of Family Law from his time as a judge and utilizes this to help all sides drive to a resolution. He is thoughtful about his recommendations and diligent in his preperation. He makes you feel like you are his only client and when he is engaged you have his full attention. He is well respected by his peers and I think that benefits clients when he represents them. Thank-you for helping me through such a challenging time. I highly recommend Gary Alembik and appreciate him as a incredible lawyer but even a better human being.

Tom represented me in a contract dispute with a former employer. From the day he started working on my case, he guided me through the process and prepared me for each stage. As this was a very stressful situation for me, Tom's ongoing reassurance and support made it much easier.
He was extremely thorough in understanding the entire situation to determine the best strategy and the first thing he did was invalidate their claim that I violated my non-compete clause. After that, we tried mediation, but they were unwilling to move an inch. Ultimately, the case went to arbitration and the judge found in favor of me on every point...including fees and expenses.
Tom built a very good case by doing his research, making sure we had the right witnesses, discrediting the opposing witnesses and being more prepared than the other guy. I remember one of the first things Tom told me is he would never lose because the other guy worked harder or was more prepared. He proved that to me.
Tom demonstrated what a trusted advisor can be...he really did care about me and my family and worked hard to take care of us. I would gladly hire him again if the need arose.

Thomas Richelo was very competent and caring in my lawsuit against a former employer for pension benefits. He had experience in litigation of similar matters involving my employer's affiliate. He was extremely conscientious in pursuing every avenue and preparing for court. He steered my lawsuit through a long discovery phase and was firm and relentless in his interrogation of the defendants. I always felt that he was a passionate advocate and succeeded in obtaining a just settlement through mediation. I believe that he truly cared about me and my rights.

I am so thankful to have had Dave Currie as my lawyer. He represented me in an automobile accident case and did an incredible job! He not only got an unbelievable result for me, he kept me fully informed at all times - from our initial consultation to the conclusion of the case. He answered all of my questions promptly and professionally and always treated me with kindness and respect. He was always easily-accessible by phone or email, which I really appreciated. His remarkable range of medical, as well as, legal knowledge helped me to understand and face the stressful issues with ease. He is a highly-skilled lawyer, a great negotiator, and an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him. "Don't worry, call Currie!"

Dave Currie was the best person and lawyer I could have found for my case. My case was a sexual assault case, the incident occurred at a nationally known massage establishment by a licensed massage therapist. Needless to say the case could have been extremely uncomfortable for me, but Dave made every step of the process comfortable and as easy as possible. When anything uncomfortable came up Dave always had my back and made me feel like we were a team, he even took the time to get to know my family that would come along to some of the meeting with me. When it came time for the depositions and negotiations I was extremely nervous, but Dave was knowledgeable and honest about how the proceedings go and it helped a lot with my nerves. Dave’s knowledge, experience, and diligence rewarded me a substantial settlement. Dave consistently kept me in the loop about what was going on in my case, as well as answered any questions, calls, emails, or texts that I sent his way. Dave not only made me feel like I had an amazing lawyer on my side to make sure I wouldn’t get taken advantage of, he also made me feel like I had a friend on my side that wanted to make sure that I was going to be emotionally strong once everything was over.

Dave Currie is an outstanding lawyer. I was injured in and explosion that left me with permanent hearing damage. Due to my field of business, it was a career ending injury and very important to me. The first lawyer I contacted was horrible. The initial consult was great but it wasnt long before I was wondering what else I needed to be doing and where my case stood. After numerous attempts to reach him and few, if any, return calls, I researched specialized ear injury lawyers and found Dave Currie. After speaking to Dave on the phone for a brief description of his expertise, I fired my current lawyer and went to meet Dave and his team. Let me just say that immediately upon entering his office, I felt amazed at how professional and courteous everyone was. I sat down at a huge table and had 3 people completely focused on what I had to say. Kenya Cantrell, one of Dave's associates, began taking notes, and was ALWAYS available when Dave was not. She promptly returned phone calls and emails, and followed up with all my questions and even questions that I didn't know I had at the time. I was also very impressed at the level of communication that I had with Dave. There were quite a few times that he returned calls and emails on the weekends and days he was out of the office or off. Dave's knowledge of the specifics of my injury were very impressive. He knew some of the doctors that I have seen on a first name basis and was personally sympathetic to my condition. He was very honest with me at all times and if at any point he was unfamiliar with something, he said so, and promptly researched information and followed up with me about it. Dave went above and beyond to make sure that I knew what was going on and what all I needed to do while we were awaiting a hearing. During the time before my hearing, I had some troubling family problems and Dave was genuinely concerned for me and what was going on. He postponed a few things while I dealt with them and did not hound me into continuing my case until I was ready. He is very professional yet so comfortable talking to you, its like speaking to an old friend. As time started boiling down, we scheduled a deposition. Dave walked me through what would happen and gave me the direction that I needed to enter the deposition with confidence. After about 5 hours of depositions, things went exactly as Dave had explained. A few days passed and the negotiations began. Dave informed me in great detail what similar cases had settled for and suggested that I not set my sights too high. After many counter offers and Dave's expert negotiating, we settled for about 10 percent higher than the highest settlement for similar and some exceeding the damage that I suffered. I am so pleased that I chose Dave Currie. This was the only time I ever needed a lawyer and I was so relieved that everything went so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for anything more in a representative or a friend.

Margaret made my divorce go as smoothly as possible and helped me get the best outcome for my family. Her knowledge, patience and timely responses were such a relief for me during this difficult time. As bumps in the road came up she would help me weigh all of my options so I could make the best decision to proceed. If you find yourself in need of an attorney I would highly recommend her over and over again!

I cannot begin to say enough great things about Margaret. I had a gut feeling about her and my gut did not steer me wrong. I am beyond thankful that she took on my case. No separation is easy, especially when it involves children. I was dealing with threats, verbal abuse, harassment, bullying, etc. I explained to Margaret what she would be in for and what we would be up against and she did not bat an eye. She was always very supportive and reassuring and all around a pleasure to work with. Anytime I had a question or concern, if I called or sent her an e-mail, she would always get back to me in a timely manner. She is very organized and extremely professional. And she is a go-getter! She will fight for you. I was extremely impressed by her overall work ethic and attitude. She is great in what she does. If there is ever a time where I find myself being in the same situation, Margaret is going to be the first person I call. I will never use another lawyer!

I hired Deborah to help me file the papers in a divorce where my husband and I had already agreed to most of the terms. She helped me think through the possible outcomes and make decisions and helped me to keep costs down by letting me write much of the settlement agreement myself. She is knowledgeable and, I hear, can be tough on opponents, though I did not need that in my case.

I was so fortunate to have Ms. Ebel agree to represent me. Needless to say, my divorce, after a 30 year marriage, was the most difficult time in my life. Ms. Ebel provided excellent legal leadership and went above and beyond my expectations. She was constant in her resolve to represent my interests at every turn from mediation through the final appeal process. Ms. Ebel won each and every challenge. I wholeheartedly recommend her and I am forever grateful to her.

I got one of those advertised divorces that initially was going to cost me $500 and turned out to cost me $2500 in 2012. We had been separated for 7 years. I was in a bad state. I signed an agreement, drafted and reviewed by a 'cheap' attorney and today I am paying $11,500 in alimony and child support for 20 years.
I was referred to Cary King. One look at the settlement agreement and he told me that in his 30+ years of Family Law practice, he had never seen a settlement agreement so one-sided, atrocious, unfavorable and not doable (based on my income then and now).
My income then, nor my income today, justifies the unreasonable alimony I signed up for.
If you are seeking a divorce attorney, trust me.. Have Cary King on your side. His thorough knowledge of Fanily Practice Law is undeniable and you will experience his tenacity for Justice and Fairness as it pertains to your particular case during the initial consult.
I am paying him today and I wish had sought him out when I was going through my tribulations that led to my divorce and insane settlement agreement.

I was rear ended by a limo driver in June of 2012. The policy holder of the limo fraudulently obtained insurance [reported it was a private, NOT FOR HIRE vehicle]: after the collision claim was settled the at fault insured was cancelled and my uninsured motorist coverage took over.
I ultimately had a rotary cuff surgery, missed several months of work in recovery, then had to have another surgery on my hand – all related to this claim (over $50,000.) [over a 20 month span.] My employer's insurance policy paid all medical and surgical claims and came after me to reimburse with any settlement from the UIM Coverage. I received short and long term disability benefits (over $80,000.) Both the Medical and the Disability Insurance Companies thought they should get some reimbursement from the UIM.
My auto coverage insurance company thought that I was not due the total benefit of $50,000. In UIM coverage because they seemed to think the accident was not severe enough.
Jim Stewart not only got auto coverage to pay the full $50,000; but, made it possible for me NOT TO HAVE TO REIMBURSE THE MEDICAL OR DISABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY ONE RED CENT. And, I have not heard a word from them since...
This man is a Super “Pit Bull” Attorney who will protect your interest the fullest extent. I have been very pleased and so has everyone I have referred to Jim over the last 12 years that I have known him.
Without a doubt, if you want to keep what is yours, what you have coming to you, and stop the competing companies from grabbing all the benefits you have been paying for and rightfully deserve, Jim Stewart is the person to trust your case to .
He is simply the best!

I thought they were alright but they appear to nickel and dime you for everything. I don't have an issue paying for services rendered but to be charged for a phone conference about potential services for a new tax issue seems unethical. They'd successfully assisted me with state tax issue. And because that particular issue was resolved efficiently, I requested a phone conference for a new tax issue because the details of the issue were complicated and a phone conversation was simply more efficient. They charged me almost $700 for the conference call AND the response to the emails that I sent requesting the conference call AND the follow-up emails they sent after the conference. That is absolutely unfair. These were calls about assisting with a new issue. You mean to tell me I was charged to ask questions on whether or not they could be of assistance and then charged for the emails they responded to? Absolutely not.

I cannot say ENOUGH great things about Attorney Antavius Weems! He is a BOSS in EVRY sense of the word. I hired Atty Weems when my company was experiencing some growing pains. I must admit that I had not done a great job in keeping things in order (which is why I had to retain Weems) but I thank God for sending Weems my way. The craziest thing is that I actually met him in line at a concert! We began talking after I eavesdropped on his phone call to a client....I remarked to him, 'You're the kind of Atty I need....answering calls in the middle of a concert' Atty Weems response was 'im your guy then'....and he was telling NO LIE. He came in, cleaned up the frivolous litigation that we had, and allowed us to move forward into our 8th location. His staff is top notch too! I CANNOT THANK HIM ENOUGH! And yes, just like everyone else says about him, he's a Super hero with a brief case, and he literally treats you like you are family. Attorneys just dont do that these days! Thanks Weems!!!

I am incredibly happy to write this review of MY Attorney, Antavius Weems. When I first learned of Atty Weems was through the tv show Braxton Family Values, where he represents Toni Braxton and her family. Once I got him to represent me, i knew i had made the right decision. In addition to sharing an Atty with Superstars like Toni Braxton, Trina Braxton, Angie Stone and Karlie Redd, I was mesmerized by Antavius' command and recall of the law. I was thinking wow, does he study this stuff in his sleep?? And just as EVERYONE here has stated, he IS a PIT BULL I n the Courtroom. He is not to be played with. In my case, not only did we win, but the other side ended up having to pay Antavius' Atty fees for me because of their actions. THANK YOU ANTAVIUS WEEMS. You are my Attorney fir life!

Imagine walking into a Courtroom with a Dictionary, a thesaurus, a pit bull, a security guard, and of course, a legal scholar--I've just described my experience with Attorney Antavius Weems. I cannot say enough how protected and cared for I felt by he and his team. I had heard wonderful things about Attorney Weems and his legal skills from a friend of mine who hired him, so I thought I would give him a try. Now I brag about him more than my friend. She had to remind me that he was her Lawyer first! I just felt incredibly protected during my entire case. He was concerned, informed and prepared. His entire staff makes you feel the same way he does (special kudos to his Office Mgr, Ms. Finch!) What I really liked was watching how he has such an amazing command of the law! I have never seen anyone rattle off legal cases and laws like I saw with Weems. My impression was that he either had memorized all of this stuff for my case, or he already knew it...Either way I was fine with it, and I benefited from his knowledge. The Judge gave us most of what we had asked for, and although I was incredibly happy, Attorney Weems was still a little upset that we didnt get everything that we had asked for! I am just elated to call this man my Lawyer. The Weems Firm is my team for legal issues. I love him and them!

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.

- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
