Stobbs Law Office is a distinguished criminal defense firm specializing in aggressive representation for serious state and federal charges. Led by John Stobbs, a trial lawyer with over 25 years of experience, the firm stands out for its deep roots in Madison County, its fluency in English and Spanish, and a legacy of successful jury trial acquittals in high-stakes federal cases.
The firm adopts a hands-on, personalized approach, with John Stobbs personally handling every case from start to finish—never delegating to associates or paralegals. With a deliberately limited caseload of 15-20 open files at a time, clients receive focused attention and a commitment to vigorous defense, whether through negotiation or trial. The practice primarily serves individuals facing federal and state criminal charges across Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri, with particular expertise in drug crimes, firearms offenses, and white-collar allegations.
