Testimonials

I was fortunate to find Cody, Shayla and the team at Stokes Law

I was fortunate to find Cody, Shayla and the team at Stokes Law to support my separation and divorce, following a very challenging experience with previous counsel. I truly felt my case was handled in every way with care, diligence and compassion, from preparation and review, to mediation, reaching agreement, developing a solid parenting plan and in finalizing next steps to closure. I believe it is rare to find this kind of legal support and would wholeheartedly recommend Cody and Shayla as advocates and allies in what is a very tumuluous and unnerving experience. With this team, you can "trust the process" and have confidence that your best interests will be served.
