“Understanding Addiction and the Treatment Court Solution”
District Judge Kenneth Stoner oversees Oklahoma County’s Drug and DUI Courts and supervises the DREAMS Court (Mental Health). Judge Stoner was the co-founder of our Veterans Treatment Court and served as the ReMerge Judge for five years. Oklahoma County Treatment Courts are now among the largest (top 1% in size) and among the most successful court programs in the United States (83% graduation rate).
He began his legal career in the Oklahoma County DA’s office serving as a felony prosecutor. He later went into private practice focusing on securities, corporate, entertainment, and criminal law. Prior to being appointed to the bench he concentrated on representation of clients suffering from addiction and mental health issues.
He graduated from OU College of Law, with highest honors. While in law school he earned many awards including the Order of the Coif, Comfort Scholarship, OBA’s Outstanding Senior, Student Bar Association Award, and the Jankowski Award given to the outstanding graduate of each class.
He is a sixth-generation Oklahoman and a member of the Cherokee Nation. He and his wife Barbara reside in the Oakdale area with their sons, Max, Will, and Sam who are not particularly impressed with any of his accomplishments.
