About Jewel & Stoneman, LLP
Jewel & Stoneman, LLP is a women-owned and operated law firm, and it has been a solid presence in the Bay Area since 1996.

Jewel & Stoneman, LLP prides itself on educating clients, building strong relationships with clients, and being there for clients no matter what the need. We want people to be educated so they can make informed decisions about what they want to do with their lives. We would rather spend the time making sure a potential client understands their options, even if they choose to go elsewhere. Our highest priority is affording people the peace of mind that comes with making an informed decision.
