Personal Injury Social Security Disability Workers Comp Car & Truck Accidents Slip & Fall Catastrophic Injury

When attorney John Shook and attorney Leonard Stone joined forces in 1997, they built a Las Vegas firm with one rule: represent people, not insurance companies. Twenty-nine years and 30,000+ clients later, Shook & Stone has recovered more than $1 billion across personal injury, motor vehicle, workers' compensation, and Social Security Disability claims — and the firm answers the phone 24 hours a day, including holidays.

Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Shook & Stone?

Shook & Stone is the rare Las Vegas injury firm that handles both the front end (your accident or workplace injury) and the long tail (Social Security Disability claims that can take 18 months to win). With 95+ employees across three Nevada offices, they have the bench strength to handle volume without losing the personal touch. John Shook builds every case for trial; Leonard Stone has 29+ years on catastrophic and wrongful-death matters; both are deeply involved in the Nevada Justice Association and the local community. The firm's 24/7 intake means a real lawyer is reachable on weekends and after a hospital admission — when most firms send you to voicemail. They don't take fees unless they win, and they've recovered over a billion dollars proving the model works.

Client Experiences

What Clients Say

Client
Maria L.
Disability / SSDI · North Las Vegas
★★★★★
"Social Security denied me twice. Shook & Stone took the case to a hearing and won me 26 months of back pay plus monthly benefits. They knew exactly what evidence the judge needed."
Client
Jerome H.
Car Accident · Las Vegas Strip
★★★★★
"I was rear-ended by an Uber on the Strip. The other driver's insurance lowballed me. Shook & Stone fought, got my medical bills paid, and recovered seven figures more than the original offer."
Client
Tasha B.
Workers Comp · Henderson
★★★★★
"My employer's workers' comp carrier kept denying my back surgery. Shook & Stone got the surgery approved, the wage-replacement benefits paid retroactively, and a settlement that covers future care."

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

What types of cases does Shook & Stone handle?
Personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, workers' compensation, slip and fall, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and Social Security Disability (SSDI / SSI). They serve clients throughout Nevada and accept matters across the Western US.
Is the consultation actually free?
Yes. The initial case review is free regardless of whether you hire the firm. You can call any time — including weekends and holidays — and speak with someone immediately.
How long does a Nevada workers' comp case take?
Simple wage-replacement claims often resolve within months. Disputed claims involving denied surgery, permanent partial disability ratings, or third-party negligence can take 1–2 years. The firm handles every level of appeal.
Can the firm help if I've already been denied SSDI?
Yes. Most successful SSDI cases are won at the hearing or appeals stage, not the initial application. Shook & Stone handles reconsideration, ALJ hearings, Appeals Council review, and federal court appeals.
Where are the offices?
Main office: 710 S 4th Street, Las Vegas. Additional Las Vegas location on West Russell Road, plus a Henderson office and broader Nevada coverage. Virtual consultations are also available.
