John Stocks is direct and honest — he tells you what you need to hear and has your best interests at heart. He’s very knowledgeable in family law and takes the time to explain things clearly and realistically.
He’s also easy to reach, responsive, and very thorough. He held the opposing counsel accountable when incorrect legal information was being presented — a testament to his command of family law and commitment to his clients.
Behind his straightforward approach, he’s genuinely kind and helpful. If you want someone who knows family law inside and out and will advocate for you until the end, I highly recommend John Stocks and his firm, Van Siclen Stocks & Firkins.
I had a perfect experience with VSSF. Mr. John Stocks and his team—Emma and Dexter—did an excellent job on my case. Mr. Stocks was professional, responsible, and truly took care of my situation, pulling me out of a difficult time. It might have been a routine matter for them, but it meant a great deal to me.
Emma was always prompt and patient in her responses, which I deeply appreciated. Thank you all for your hard work! I’m so happy and grateful. I wish VSSF continued success and hope they can help many more people in the future.
I would like to share my experience in securing legal representation for my personal employment case, an endeavor that proved quite challenging, especially in identifying an attorney who instilled a sense of trust and understanding. As a woman of color, I initially questioned whether it was essential to have representation that mirrored my identity to truly comprehend and empathize with the profound trauma I experienced throughout the two and a half years it took to settle the case. This aspect was a significant factor in my search for the right legal partner. I hope this insight into the complexities and emotional labor involved in this search may be helpful for others facing similar situations.
I ultimately chose to work with Jeffrey Musto and his paralegal, Sky Park. I am pleased to convey that my initial concerns about not having a person of color represent me quickly dissipated. They both invested considerable time in understanding my individual circumstances, demonstrating a profound grasp of my case and the desired outcome. While I acknowledge that I can be a very demanding client, their performance was exceptional.
Should you be seeking a legal team, I highly recommend considering their firm and advise against allowing preconceived notions or stereotypes to influence your decision, particularly if you are a person of color.
Van Siclen Stocks & Firkins great team of attorneys!
Worked with John Stocks and he is highly professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. He’s well-regarded for his integrity and commitment to his clients. I confidently recommend him to anyone in need of legal support.
P.s. They have best the paralegal team and front desk.
I was in a car accident with my wife and daughter, and we didn’t know what to do. This law firm made everything so much easier. I mostly talked to the paralegal, who was very helpful and made sure everything was done right. The attorney also replied really fast whenever we had questions, which was a big help. They were always there when we needed them and responded quickly. They also speak Korean, which is great for anyone who feels more comfortable with it. They were professional, quick, and really cared about us. If anything like this happens again, I would definitely come back. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in Washington—it’s a place you can trust!
