Jared Stilley

Firm: Stilley Law, LLC

2825 S. Main Street , Joplin , Missouri 64804

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I began my career as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Jasper County, Missouri. As an A.P.A. I learned valuable information and and insight on how the court process works, how the prosecutor's office handles cases, and great trial experience. After leaving the Prosecutor's office, I went into private practice. I have handled a very large volume of criminal matters. I have represented clients charged with the most serious of felonies, all kinds of misdemeanors, and even minor city ordinance violations. On a daily basis, I answer client phone calls, represent clients in court, get warrants withdrawn, help clients get their license reinstated, and give counsel regarding their current problems. In addition, I help clients that have been involved in auto accidents. I ensure that clients are justly compensated by insurance companies for their injuries and damages. I take pride in my work and do my best to promptly respond to client phone calls and questions.

At Knoblock Law, nothing is more important to us than earning our clients' trust and giving them confidence that we truly care about them and are there for them.

While many lawyers do everything they can to avoid going to trial, at Knoblock Law, we relish a chance to try our case to a jury. While many cases are settled without the need for a trial, you are likely to be pushed around and taken advantage of throughout the negotiation stage if the other side knows you're not prepared to go the distance.
