      From day one Shook & Stone ha proven to be exceptionally professional in every aspect. They truly care about their clients. Very satisfied with my results.

      Writing this review is difficult and disheartening, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Shook and Stone Law Firm. From the outset, they failed to listen to my concerns and prioritize my needs as a client. I expressed my dissatisfaction and intention to seek representation elsewhere due to the lack of progress on my case. Despite my reservations, my attorney assured me that they only needed a few more months to complete my case. However, this promise turned out to be nothing but empty words. Instead of resolving my case within the promised timeframe, Shook and Stone Law Firm sent me an offer to close my case. Naively, I signed off on the offer, believing that the end was finally in sight. Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of an unnecessary and prolonged delay. Despite my repeated requests to close the case, my attorney chose to ignore me, prolonging my ordeal and exacerbating my frustration. This blatant disregard for my wishes and the agreed-upon timeline reflects poorly on the professionalism and integrity of the firm. To add insult to injury, when I raised concerns about the extended wait time and requested a reduction in their fee, Shook and Stone Law Firm displayed a shocking lack of empathy and understanding. In conclusion, my experience with Shook and Stone Law Firm has been characterized by indifference, and a complete lack of accountability. I would strongly advise anyone seeking legal representation to steer clear of this firm, as they have proven themselves to be unreliable and unsympathetic to the needs of their clients.

      Again I'm leaving a review. Shook&Stone took my case in 2019 at the beginning of the pandemic. From the start I was jerked around from case worker to case worker. 5 in all one was fired. I would call the office and they said we will call you back. Always had to call them. I did most of the leg work myself. X-rays fax paper work call SSI. They did very little for me. They are not honest. I talked to S&S SS manager in March of 2023 named James and he told me that my balance is zero because they received a payment of 1,800. Now SS is saying that they over paid me 4,000 that they didn't take out for lawyer. I called them and told them that James told me my bill was paid balance 0. Now SS has kept this months check for overpayment and will keep them until April. I would not recommend S&S to anyone they we're the worst law firm I've ever dealt with. Because of their lies I have no money to pay my rent and bills and am being evicted. Now James SS manager for S&S does not work there anymore after 10yrs. So I can't even confront him. I'm disabled and my monthly check doesn't even cover rent. Needless to say I'm very discussded in S&S. Beware of shady Lawyers. Carol ******

      They totally screwed me on my disability claim. Never use this firm. They don’t update you on your case. Poor handling terrible care and they failed me. Now I’m homeless with no income.

      Hello, 

      This client was advised on March 1st, 2012, that we (Shook & Stone) will be withdrawing as his representatives in his claim for Social Security Disability. We informed Mr. ***** we would be waiving our right to any fees or costs relative to this manner. The reason for the withdraw was due to Mr. ***** relocating to another state. Mr. ***** relocated to Sioux City, IA. 

      Thank you,

      Don't waste your time. They will demean you and with less than 10 questions determine that you aren't worth helping. Just as bad as any outsourced "help desk".

      Shook & Stone took my car accident case and helped me understand my legal rights. I was treated with the best care. If I went someplace else I don't believe I would have won.

      absolutely horrible. I had to get my family attorney involved and are planning to sue. they settled without my knowledge...no updates. I didn't even speak or know the name of the actual lawyer on my case until I raised my concern. they handled it by putting a Lein on me.

      Ambulance chasers . They have a high success rate because they bully their clients into taking whatever is offered in a settlement ... And if you tell them that you need them to work for you they threaten you that they have a Lien on your case ... Don't go to this shady group of lawyers. They are the new form of ambulance chasers in this day in age . You've been warned . They will screw you over

      Mr. *******,

      I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. I've sent you a private message and would love to set up some time to chat so I can figure out what happened and make things right.
