I cannot give Stephen enough praise both as a person and an attorney. I know Stephen through work…read morethat I have done in politics around Missouri and knew that he was a Criminal Defense Attorney, among other specialties, before hiring him. My significant other was going being put through the ringer by Clay County, charging him with 3 felonies and a misdemeanor (one of which an armed criminal action, which doesn't have a maximum sentence so he was potentially facing life), as a first time offender, for entering his own home with a knife. He later was beaten by his ex-girlfriend's parents while trying to leave her and later hospitalized for his injuries, while no one else was injured. After he was released from medical treatment he was taken into custody and charged with the above crimes on the evidence of a police report and half of the witnesses' statements. My SO didn't have money to afford an attorney and initially had a public defender, who cut a deal for a dropped ACA and 15 years. Needless to say, it was an absolute abomination of a deal considering the lack of evidence, he was a first time offender, and a non-existent investigation. Attorneys that we reached out to in Clay County could not get us to trial, only take a plea for a felony and get 5-10 years in prison. One even said that if they took it to trial he would jeopardize their career and legal practice within Clay County. We learned that the corruption in Clay County is abhorrent at every level, not just within county government, so we started exploring options outside of Clay County. As I stated earlier, I know Stephen through political work that I have done/been doing throughout the state. I initially reached out to him to ask if he knew any attorneys in the Kansas City area that would maybe be willing to take it on. Nick called him and chatted with him the next day and he was the first to not only work with our budget, but would actually represent him regardless if it went to trial or not. We hired Stephen shortly after securing a continuance with roughly 4 months until the trial. I had been doing some investigative work, doing background checks, and monitoring social media use, which seemed to help in the process. Although, always check with your attorney to see if this is okay. I checked with him at every step of the way to ensure compliance with the law and to not jeopardize any part of this process. He always made a point to be in court, answered correspondence promptly, provided support and advice when we needed it, was prepared at every step of the way, actually investigated into the charges, and was just absolutely phenomenal throughout the process. There was one hearing that we were at where others in the courtroom for other cases, upon hearing arguments from Stephen, were routing for us. Usually, people are having side conversations, however, during this one you could hear a pin drop. This wasn't even the trial and he was able to sway people to his client's side of the story. My SO's case eventually went to trial, where Stephen shined in all of his statements, cross examinations, questioning, etc. Stephen was prepared throughout the process, but especially with the trail. This man can kick some ass in the courtroom, and honestly, it was great to watch. My SO was found not guilty on all counts except the misdemeanor by the jury: which is exactly the outcome that we were okay with. As I stated earlier, we could not be happier with the representation that led up to that. He truly cares about his clients, cares about their futures, and just is an amazing person. He truly knows the consequences of his job and the lifelong impact that it can have on the people he represents. Thanks to him, Nick can get a decent paying job, be able to get decent housing, and isn't spending his life in prison for a crime that he didn't commit. This fact is not lost on us and we are so grateful for all that Stephen has done for us. Also, his paralegal, Blaine Wyse, is fantastic as well. He was kind, professional, and you can tell that they both work well as a team. The Wyse Guys are some of the best in Missouri and I cannot recommend them enough.

I hired him because a friend referred me to him. My friend hadn't used his services for ten years…read more He told me that I received a discount for the referral. He assured me that he would take care of everything. After a month of not hearing anything from him, my court date was coming up in a couple days. I asked a paralegal friend for advice. They asked me to show them my casenet. Their initial reaction, "You need to get a different lawyer ASAP". He hadn't even filed an entry of appearance. My court appearance was in two days. I called Wyse and fired him. I then hired a capable attorney and proceeded. Stephen Wyse filed an entry of appearance immediately after I fired him. Sneaky sneaky. Doesn't look suspicious at all. I called to get my money back and he offered me 1/3. I told him to keep it. He obviously needs it more than me. Unless your case is TV or YouTube worthy, he's not going to fight very hard for you. Beware.

If you are tired of no one returning calls or emails, then this is also your firm; Christopher Braddock is very responsive.

I sent an email about 5 minutes ago, but am unsure it went thru. The Audrain County Sheriff's Dept are using harassment tactics, gang stalking, and other means against me on the daily. Drones sitting above my home, people following me and using "brightening" with their headlights to signal one another and communicate. I urge you to read target justice and get a better idea of what I'm referring to. There are severalawsuits in other states from this same very means of harassment. I also believe Audrain County Sheriffs Dept have a form of what is called v2k (voice to skull) and have found a way to intercept my thoughts. Yes, I know how unbelievable that may sound. However, about 2 months ago there was a feeling in my left ear. Almost like a finger had been pressed down in it. A cpl days later I begin hearing voices. One of the first things was then instructing me to do small things like set my phone on the floor, or as I lie in bed they would direct me to put my left leg over my right. Silly things. But I believe this all was done to make sure I could hear them. Later they told me I needed to leave Mexico. And as time went on they got more threatening such as slit my throat and kill my family members including my 12 year old daughter. They hear everything I hear and see everything I see. They have invaded my privacy. This is unethical and needs to be stop. I am uncomfortable doing daily things like showering and using the restroom and being intimate with my gf. Speaking of they demand me to break up with my gf. Telling me she belongs to them. I believe Sheriff Kennemore to be a big player in this. He graduated high school with my gf. He had me arrested a while back. And my (non blood) brother once dated Sheriff kennemore sister and did not treat her well. So I think this is all one reason I have been chosen. I also believe the fact i suffer from bipolar and have had a prior history of drug use is another reason I was selected. The whole principle is that it sounds so unbelievable to the average citizen that I went come off credible. And who better to have their credibility question that a former drug user with a slight history of mental health issue. I assure u thou that I clearly know the difference between hallucinations and reality. I am sick of the daily harassment and it needs to stop. Please look into this. I was told they are also running a sting operation regarding a 17 year old girl I will call Tee for now. She lives near the police station. They are allowing this underage girl to go thru with sex with grown men so they can later file statutory rape against them. They knowingly let her have sex with these men and do not stop in to stop it. Dont allow these men who vow to protect and serve get away with this
