JOHN STOKES
Partner
Stris & Maher LLP
John Stokes has emerged as one of the leading trial lawyers of his generation. He wields exceptional responsibility and authority at Stris & Maher LLP, where he leads—and wins—cases with the highest possible stakes for his clients. His practice is defined by taking on matters that are existential to businesses and individuals alike, often stepping in when the outcome will determine control of a company, the viability of a business, or the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars.
What distinguishes Stokes is his rare combination of first-chair trial leadership and strategic judgment across the full lifecycle of complex litigation. Clients and colleagues trust him not just to execute at trial, but to shape the case from the outset and then defend his wins on appeal.
