Client Voices
What our clients have to say about us...
★★★★★
“Jana was professional and extremely knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable and collaborated to create a document that aligned fully with what I needed.”
★★★★★
“Cody is hands down the most caring and competent family lawyer I have ever dealt with. Professional, transparent, and knowledgeable.”
★★★★★
“I had the pleasure of retaining Ozan for a family law matter. He is amazing and is willing to go in hard for his clients. His knowledge and willingness to guide me through the process was worth so much to me. Thank you Ozan and Stokes Law for representing a single dad trying to see his kids.”
★★★★★
“Jana de Waal was fantastic and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a mediator. TBH, I was skeptical how helpful a mediator could be in high conflict separations, but this was money WELL spent. We achieved more in 3 hours than the previous 3 months trying to negotiate things on our own. I fully intend to return to Jana when/if needed and have already recommended her to my friends/colleagues. Thank you so much Jana!”

★★★★★
“Skilled strategist, substantiating recommendations with case law. Collaborative approach with the confidence to stand firm when needed.”
★★★★★
“I took on Rikesh Wadhwa as my lawyer as my ex decided to sue me for divorce. Brittany Burton was the legal assistant. Rikesh did an outstanding job in representing me and along with Brittany guiding me through the process. During the settlement meeting he was cool headed and firm and got me a very fair deal. They both showed compassion and professionalism during the entire process. Thank you Rikesh and Brittany.”
★★★★★
“I was fortunate to find Cody 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 finalizing next steps to closure. I believe it is rare to find this kind of legal support and would wholeheartedly recommend Cody as an advocate and ally in what is a very tumultuous and unnerving experience. With this team, you can “trust the process” and have confidence that your best interests will be served.”
★★★★★
“I have had a very positive experience working with Cody and his team at Stokes Law. Communication is timely and thorough. He is a skilled strategist, substantiating his opinion and recommendations with firsthand examples and/or case law. His approach is collaborative, with me and the opposing party. He carefully considers and incorporates my ideas and lived experience as appropriate and strives to utilize the least acrimonious approach to resolving disputes possible. However, when needed, he demonstrates the confidence to stand firm. One of the things I appreciate most is how Cody explains available options — including the risks, benefits, and costs for each — allowing me to make an informed decision at each point in the process.”
