My guest is District Judge Kenneth Stoner, who oversees Oklahoma County’s Treatment (Drug/DUI) Courts. He was appointed to the position of District Judge by the Governor in January of 2018.
Judge Stoner began his legal career in 2001 in the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office serving as a felony prosecutor. He later went into private practice focusing on corporate, entertainment, and criminal law. Prior to being appointed to the bench, he concentrated on representation of clients suffering from addiction and mental health issues. Judge Stoner has earned distinction for his innovative approach to handling such cases.
He is also a member of the Oklahoma Behavioral Health Association, Addiction & Mental Health Professionals of Oklahoma, and Lawyers Against Domestic Abuse.
Judge Stoner is a six-generation Oklahoman and a member of the Cherokee Nation. He and his wife Barbara have three sons, Max, Will and Sam who are not particularly impressed with any of his accomplishments. His wife is also an attorney, serving as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Bernard Jones.
