OUR FAMILY ATTORNEYS & STAFF

Karen Stone, Family LawyerKaren Lynn Stone-Pretti, a native of Newport Beach, began practicing family law in Orange and Los Angeles Counties prior to relocating to Fresno in 2000 to open her family law practice, Stone Law Group. Ms. Stone has appeared over 19 counties and 39 separate courthouses throughout California. Energetic, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and creative, Ms. Stone favors an expedient resolution, but will aggressively litigate matters at issue when needed.

After graduating UCLA with honors, Ms. Stone completed her legal education at Southwestern University School of Law in their two-year accelerated program, graduating in the top third of her class. Originally attending law school to tend to the growing needs of fathers seeking to be a part of their children's lives, Ms. Stone has also sought satisfaction from all aspects of the growing family law field. Ms. Stone seeks to make this difficult process as simple and uncomplicated as possible, often spending extra time educating her clients about the litigation process so they know what to expect. This often alleviates much of the stress associated with the separation of the family.

When not at work, Ms. Stone enjoys spending time with her family, cooking and actively participates in her community through her volunteer efforts.
