Biography

Gregory E. Stone, Founding Partner, is a skilled negotiator, mediator and trial attorney. While an overwhelming number of his cases are resolved prior to trial, Greg has built a reputation for achieving outstanding trial results for his clients. He has tried over 65 jury trials to verdict throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, Kern, Orange, and San Bernardino counties. Greg has been recognized as a “Southern California Super Lawyer” by his peers in Los Angeles Magazine, Law & Politics Media, Inc., and Super Lawyer publications. Greg prides himself on solving problems for others and makes himself available to his many repeat clients for an array of issues. He thinks of himself as a problem-solving quarterback; either he handles a particular situation, or if he cannot, for whatever reason, he makes sure his clients are fully protected by helping to secure the proper professionals to fulfill their needs and accomplish their goals. Greg makes sure he refers clients to the experts he would want representing him if he were in a similar situation. If a case cannot get resolved, Greg has proven to be more than capable to taking the matter to trial. Greg has evolved into a well-rounded lawyer. He has handled civil rights cases, instances of gender discrimination, insurance defense, personal injury lawsuits, business disputes, and even criminal matters. He enjoys mediating cases and resolving disputes. Greg has said, “Practice of law is a business, but it is a profession first.” Clients include, but are not limited to, small to medium sized businesses and their owners, supermarket chains, retail stores, commercial carriers, municipalities, police departments, health clubs, and real estate property management companies. He also represents clients in litigation involving contractual disputes, security guard negligence/excessive force cases, premises liability, civil rights and employment litigation.
