About

Evan Stone's introduction to copyright law began with a high school job working for an upscale portrait photographer in San Antonio, TX. Stone registered his first copyright as a teenager and went on to study filmmaking, database programming and 3D modeling/animation at the University of North Texas and California State University, Los Angeles.Stone continued his focus on intellectual property law as President of the Intellectual Property Law Association at Texas A&M School of Law. During this period, Stone joined the legal team at FUNimation Entertainment, the largest producer and distributor of anime in the United States. There, Stone created and still oversees an all-encompassing intellectual property rights enforcement program operated by three dedicated Infringement Specialists using proprietary software Stone created.Stone opened his own firm in 2010 and was admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. There, he began the now-infamous practice of suing entire groups of internet pirates in a series of BitTorrent infringement lawsuits. Stone still engages in such litigation when necessary, but has since branched out into more traditional cases of copyright infringement, including those involving:  unauthorized online streaming of motion pictures, unauthorized display of photography and graphic design, unauthorized public performance of music, distribution of counterfeit merchandise and the unauthorized distribution of photography.In the course of his career, Stone has worked on DVD counterfeiting cases with the Criminal Division of the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security. Additionally, Stone has coordinated enforcement efforts and investigations with the FBI and the Department of Justice's Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (CHIP) Crimes division.

I hired Mr. Stone off the recommendation from a friend. In the process of trying to recover my wrongfully withheld security deposit from my former landlord, I was countersued and subsequently lost in small claims court. After Mr. Stone reviewed my case, he gathered evidence in my favor through various legal routes that I would have been unable to myself. We then filed an appeal which was heard in a higher court. My landlord settled days before the trial and dropped his countersuit. Additionally, he returned my full security deposit and paid all my lawyer fees, including other accrued charges in the legal process. Mr. Stone put a tremendous amount of effort and time into my case and I would trust him with any other legal issues that would require an honest, experienced lawyer.

I was facing a very long process from a wrongful eviction to my deposit of $1400.00 being kept. I covered myself knowing the type of landlord I had. Being a single mother of two with a grandbaby and never being in this situation before I felt hopeless, until I went online and seen this site and chose to try Mr Stone he answered we started to talk about my situation and from then on we never lost contact. Mr Stone made sure I was informed every step of the way. With his knowledge and firmness displayed to this slum lord it was without a doubt he was representing me and to the fullest. After all was said and done my results were a wrongful eviction WON also my deposit and court fees PAID IN FULL. Where this landlord took away from me believing that good people no longer exsist Mr Stone restored. I really appreciate all the work he did to represent me and the stress he took off my family. If your in need of a professional to represent you with a great soul look no more Mr Stone is you guy. Again Mr Stone THANK YOU. fees paid in full. This guy was awesome and then some.

This was Evan's first family law case out of school, but he came prepared. He served more as a mediator than a tool of aggression, which worked out well since the other party didn't have a lawyer and I wanted to solve the disputes amicably and knowledgeably. Evan was very helpful and professional and helped us come to thorough resolutions. He has also been diligent about maintaining my case since it was opened 2 years ago.

As my first ever visit to an attorney, Evan successfully left an excellent first impression despite my reticence concerning his profession. He listened intently and then responded with the information that I needed. After the initial consultation he was very quick to call/contact me with additional information that was pertinent to my situation. Thanks Evan! I will certainly recommend you.

When a musical group I had worked with tried to release songs I owned the copyrights to, I had no choice but to take legal action. Mr. Stone took a personal interest in helping me through my case, he was very thorough in making sure I understood every detail as we went through this process. He took on a very formidable opponent and took them to task in my opinion, he negotiated a fair settlement and handled every detail with professionalism. He is a man of integrity and will surely benefit many other clients during his career.

Mr. Stone was extremely helpful in my copyright case. He informed me of my options on the case, followed through with the necessary paperwork, mediation, and informed me of all communication during the process. I was very pleased at the handling of my case and knew Mr. Stone was knowledgeable and capable of each step. The case was settled, and I was compensated accordingly.

Worked with me on all aspects of my case and was quick in responding to any questions or concerns I had. Kept me informed on all aspects of my case, step by step, from challenging my ticket to pretrial hearings, and through to the gathering of evidence. A great lawyer, and person. Can't recommend him enough.

This was my first experience working with a lawyer for a specific case. The harassment he is investigating stopped immediately once he got on the case and got to work. He was able to investigate and help me identify the perpetrator. He is still assisting me with an ongoing case. He's extremely thorough and knowledgeable with regard to our options, my rights, and the laws. He's also extremely informative and agressive when working on your behalf. He's the only lawyer I would ever want on my case!
