Quinn Porter is a litigation associate at Stone LLP, where he has been a invaluable team member since joining the firm as a law clerk in June of 2023. Quinn passed the July 2024 Bar Exam (on the first attempt) and was admitted to practice law in November 2024. Quinn focuses on civil litigation, including business disputes, construction matters and real estate disputes. He has second-chaired three complex trials in his short time as a licensed attorney, demonstrating a remarkable litigation acumen to deliver results for clients.

Quinn brings strong academic credentials and hands-on experience to his clients. He earned his Juris Doctor from Western State College of Law in May of 2024, graduating in the top third of his class and earning a place on the Honor Roll and Dean’s Circle in Fall 2022. During his academic career, Quinn honed his advocacy skills through participation in prestigious moot court competitions, including the John J. Gibbons Moot Court Competition at Seton Hall Law School, the Duke University National Moot Court Competition and the University of Buffalo Moot Court competition (Elliott Stone’s later father, Harry N. Stone, earned his law degree from the University of Buffalo in 1970). 

Prior to joining Stone LLP, Quinn gained experience as a law clerk at the Orange County Public Defender’s Office in the writs and appeals division. There, he drafted and edited motions, conducted legal research on criminal law and procedure, and observed trials, building a solid foundation in legal analysis and trial advocacy.  

Quinn holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a minor in Entrepreneurship from Seattle University, where he graduated cum laude in 2021. His competitive spirit and dedication to advocacy was evident early on, as he led his high school’s defense team in the Los Angeles County Mock Trial Competition for three consecutive years.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAYS

Days before the close of escrow, a 10-year-old title defect was discovered that prevented us from obtaining title insurance despite shopping multiple title companies. After frantically searching for an attorney who knew this area of the law we almost gave up... because it seemed there were none. Then, I was referred to Elliott who used his expertise and title-industry relationships to get a clean title report issued.... and he did it in a matter of days saving our escrow! It's as if he's a miracle worker. Elliott demonstrated to me he's the "go-to" real estate & finance law.
Adam V.Real Estate Title Insurance Client
Elliott H. Stone is a real estate agent’s secret weapon (and I had been practicing Real Estate for over two Decades). One of my listings had title defects that resulted in several closing delays. After speaking to other lawyers who couldn’t help, we thought the deal was dead. One of those lawyers referred my client to Elliott for his real estate expertise. Elliott QUICKLY resolved the title defects so that we could close escrow. Elliott rescued my transaction! The only real estate attorney an agent will ever need is Elliott H. Stone.
Shoshana K.Real Estate Client
I’ve been an architect for over 32 years. I hired Elliott’s firm when I had to file a lawsuit to foreclose a mechanics lien I filed against a developer who didn’t pay me. I just found out Elliott won my trial in Los Angeles Superior Court. Elliott’s courtroom skills and mechanics lien expertise are truly amazing. The judge gave him everything he asked for. I recommend Elliott to anyone needing a trial attorney on a mechanics lien matter.
Ron A.Southern CA Architect
Elliott solved a multitude of issues for me. I have brought a few cases to him and each time he explains what is going on from a legal perspective and outlines my options. He makes me feel like I’m being taken care of, but that I’m also in the driver seat. I have already recommended him to my family.
Steve T.Restaurant Chain CEO
I see Elliott as an external department for my business. He has proven to be a critical partner in helping me navigate deals that I don’t fully understand. I appreciate how he asks questions and brings up concerns that I didn’t think of before. A few of my colleagues also go to Elliott with problems and I have always heard good feedback.
Adam H.Professional Services CEO
I hired Elliott to help me with a messy situation involving my construction company at a time when I was stressed out beyond belief. Elliott explained my options in plain English and was able to solve my problems. Elliott put me and my company on a new path of success. You will not find a more brilliant, kind, and caring lawyer than Elliott Stone.
Cliff O.Construction Company CEO
I had been referred to Elliott by a close friend of mine and it was the best choice I ever made. I had a difficult and tricky case with a business partnership, but Elliott made sure he did everything possible. He is the most knowledgeable lawyer I have ever worked with. Elliott is professional, effective, and out-of-this-world. He saved my business, my properties, and ensured I was granted everything and MORE!
Yiftach T.Real Estate Developer
Mr. Stone and his office staff and support lawyers are amazing. Mr. Stone treated us better than family and really went the extra mile when we had a dispute with a very difficult tenant. He and his staff are extraordinarily skilled, aggressive towards opposition, and yet very personal and kind hearted with his clients. I highly recommend.

I was referred to Elliott by my brother. I was overwhelmed with my situation and was not sure as to which direction I should take. Elliott was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

This is a "Major League" firm with intimate service. A++.

Elliott Stone is a family man first. His clients are like family to him in that he seeks the best possible outcomes for them, helping them achieve their goals and objectives. I recommend Mr. Stone because I know he will fight for his clients' rights and his strategies are wise.

Mr. Stone has handled several cases for me. He is like a pit bull. He attaches himself to the opposition’s throat and doesn't let go until he has won. I wouldn't go into court or negotiations without him.
