Leading the Defence The reason behind Mr. Stone’s work is simple – he knows how awful prison is. He knows because he meets and gets to know his clients. He understands the impact that their absence has on families and friends. His goal is to help clients avoid jail in the long run as far as possible. He does this through examining the circumstances of arrest, exploring the evidence and conducting an independent investigation.
