I have become increasingly interested in medical marijuana and the eventual legal recreational use of marijuana by adults. I'm following the Colorado and Washington experiments closely. As medical marijuana has recently become legal in Illinois, I've already represented people seeking medical marijuana dispensary licenses. This development is changing how we approach marijuana related cases in general, and as legalization expands, I am fascinated to see how it will transform criminal law not only in the state of Illinois, but in the entire country as well.

With over 40 years dedicated to law, Mr. Stone brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, criminal law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Stone said:

"When I was in the third grade, my mother got me a copy of the biography of the Chicago criminal defense lawyer, Clarence Darrow. By that time, I had already become acquainted with the words of the prophet Mica, 'Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.' And I had decided that this seemed to me like the best way to lead one’s life. So I brought these core beliefs into my work toward becoming a lawyer, and continue to work toward that guiding principle.”

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Stone has a unique vantage point from which to observe trends in criminal law. Most recently, he is keeping a close eye on legislation regarding legalization of marijuana and how that will affect both future criminal cases regarding marijuana and previous convictions. He notes:

"I have become increasingly interested in medical marijuana and the eventual legal recreational use of marijuana by adults. I'm following the Colorado and Washington experiments closely. As medical marijuana has recently become legal in Illinois, I've already represented people seeking medical marijuana dispensary licenses. This development is changing how we approach marijuana-related cases in general, and as legalization expands, I am fascinated to see how it will transform criminal law not only in the state of Illinois but in the entire country as well."

A fellow of the American Board of Criminal Lawyers, Mr. Stone is consistently recognized as one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the country. His commitment to justice and deeply intellectual approach to casework have earned him numerous awards and accolades over the course of his forty year career. Included among these is a peer-selected position on the American Research Corporation’s list of top criminal lawyers attorneys would recommend to a friend or family members in need of counsel. He is also an Avvo “Superb” rated lawyer and has been the recipient of the American Society of Legal Advocates’ Top 100 Lawyers for 2016 as well as Martindale-Hubbell's® Legal Leader Award for 2017.
