Tom Stone has always been driven to succeed – and has refused to be limited by his surroundings. He was the first in his family to graduate from college, becoming St. Gregory's University's valedictorian in its final graduating class.

Tom then completed his law degree at the University of Oklahoma College of Law – making him the first lawyer in his family as well. He was admitted to the Oklahoma State Bar and spent several years at an Oklahoma City firm specializing in criminal defense and family law, though he also practiced in civil rights law and employment law. Tom outgrew that firm, and in 2025 decided he was ready to defend his own clients on his own terms – putting his years of hard-won experience to work. That's when he founded Stone Legal Group.
