Ted focuses his practice on bankruptcy, personal injury, family law, and general civil litigation. Ted began his career in Phoenix, Arizona where he was an associate attorney for one of the highest volume bankruptcy and personal injury firms in Arizona, the Law Offices of J.D. Denny. There, Ted focused primarily on consumer bankruptcy, personal injury, and civil litigation. Ted successfully helped hundreds of clients maneuver the intricacies of bankruptcy and settle personal injury claims.
Thereafter, Ted was an associate attorney at the prominent creditor rights and banking firm, Goodman Law PLLC. Ted’s main focus at Goodman Law was twofold: 1) banking regulation; and 2) special assets enforcement/protection inside and outside of bankruptcy. Thanks to Ted’s early career experience in Arizona, he has a rich knowledge of both the debtor/defendant and creditor/plaintiff arenas.
Once established enough to come “home,” Ted extended Stokes Law PLLC across state lines to Utah. Ted finds great satisfaction in assisting his neighbors and fellow Utahns to reach legal results that further both their personal and professional goals. Ted also keeps close ties with the Arizona market handling many cases for his client base in the greater Phoenix area.
