Admitted to practice in 1964, Robert Stone has accomplished a vast array of achievements throughout his 50 plus years as a Vero Beach Criminal Defense Attorney. Mr. Stone was the City Prosecutor for the city of Fort Pierce, and an assistant public defender. In 1972, he was the first elected full time State Attorney of the 19th Judicial Circuit, and ran the additional times unopposed.
