Outstanding outcomes Nov 5, 2022

I would like to personally share that Ed Welbourn is one of the kindest, most understanding, and most effective defense attorneys in Orange County (if not the state, or the country). If you are feeling that you are facing an impossible legal situation, please allow Ed to navigate you through the system. He and his team at Corrigan, Welbourn, and Stokke have many years of experience and are experts in defending their clients during the oftentimes frightening legal system. Ed treated me with kindness and patience at every moment of my case and was always open, honest and let me know what to expect next. I felt that he not only cared about me as a person, but was passionate in defending my case, which he did with outstanding outcomes. I highly recommend Ed as an attorney that will thoroughly explain the legal process to the novice in legal need, to keep your nerves calm throughout the process, and to ensure a favorable outcome in your case. Ed was recommended to me through a friend, and I am proud to be someone who can now recommend him personally.

Absolutely fantastic lawyers! Sep 13, 2022

Absolutely fantastic lawyers! Kate Corrigan did more than the most and was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. I am eternally grateful for all that they did for me, and I can’t say enough good things. Please choose them to represent you; you will not regret it.

Highly Recommend Mr. Welbourn May 23, 2022

I am so grateful to have had Attorney T. Edward Welbourn, of the law firm of Corrigan Welbourn Stokke, APLC, Newport Beach Attorney, represent my son in his legal defense recently. He’s a very thorough attorney, kind and considerate while being authoritative if necessary. Attorney Welbourn has a way of calming this 75-year-old mother, even though he was many miles away. I highly recommend Mr. Welbourn for your legal needs.

Highly recommend him to everyone May 10, 2022

Ed was excellent. Highly recommend him to everyone and anyone. The outcome of my case was better than I ever could have thought. His strategy was top-notch and the end result speaks for itself.

Derek Soler

Ed was 100% professional and responsive. Nov 16, 2021

I was referred to add Welbourn by a judge friend of mine. Ed used different strategies at different points in the process leading up to trial. At preliminary hearing, he deftly revealed the officer’s inconsistencies and lies, resulting in dismissal of a felony count. Throughout the stressful 2+ years, Ed was 100% professional, responsive, and cool, which helped me maintain my cool and keep the faith. At all times, he kept my expectations realistic. I would recommend Ed to anyone facing criminal charges.

Professional and Extremely Capable Mar 5, 2021

We were referred to Corrigan, Welbourn, Stokke, APLC by a trusted and highly regarded family friend. We worked with T. Edward Welbourn over the course of this last year on a legal matter. Mr. Welbourn was professional, well-informed and extremely capable in his area of expertise, very responsive communicating progress activity clearly and quickly and provided a critical understanding of the legal process every step of the way. He maintained a very positive rapport with professionals in the judicial system and a proactive approach that gave us assurance and comfort in a very challenging experience. I would highly recommend T. Edward Welbourn and the legal team at Corrigan, Welbourn, Stokke, APLC.

Not your typical 8 to 5 lawyer Jan 7, 2021

Ed is amazing. He was on top of everything throughout the process. He met with us in person even though a phone call would’ve sufficed, just to give us hope and peace of mind. I think when times were dark, him going out of his way even though there’s nothing more to do except to wait, meant a lot. He’s not the typical 8 to 5 lawyer. He is available 7 days a week and even met us the first night after hours (even before fees/retainer was discussed).

Exceptional Criminal Defense Law Firm Dec 22, 2020

Corrigan | Welbourn | Stokke is an exceptional criminal defense law firm. Mr. T. Edward Welbourn represented our son in an extremely complicated case involving serious charges. Mr. Welbourn’s extensive experience, extraordinary knowledge, and perseverance all contributed to a very favorable outcome for our son that was against all odds. During the process, Mr. Welbourn demonstrated a keen ability to navigate the judicial system. He is well known and respected throughout the court system, which served as an advantage in our case. Mr. Welbourn kept our family well-informed. His communication skills and ability to message facts with compassion are beyond reproach. Mr. Welbourn’s passion for his work is evident in his success. While Ms. Kate Corrigan and Mr. Allan Stokke were not primary on the case, they served as backup and consult for Mr. Welbourn when appropriate. Our family found both Ms. Corrigan and Mr. Stokke very effective and professional in their roles. I would recommend Corrigan | Welbourn | Stokke to anybody who is looking for a preeminent law firm to protect themselves or their loved ones.

The sky is truly the limit Dec 21, 2020

On the narrow decks of aircraft carriers, pilots routinely land their jet-powered planes with incredible precision. The only thing stopping the jet's 100 mile per hour approach are steel cables across the deck. These landings are considered to be among the most difficult in aviation. The pilots use a combination of expertise, knowledge, and skill to defy gravity. One wrong move could end in destruction. Similarly, Ed Welbourn’s handling of the dismissal of our case took great diligence and skill. Maneuvering through the system with such excellence is quite an accomplishment. They are professional, candid, and understanding. We found Ed and the other attorneys at Corrigan Welbourn Stokke to be 'Top Gun' in our eyes, where the sky is truly the limit. We gladly recommend them.

Very good, and very capable hands Dec 3, 2020

Ed and his team are top-notch professionals. I was impressed by both their skill, efficiency, and attention to detail. My matter was not a large one, but Ed never treated it that way. He always took the time to explain the process, next steps, and give recommendations as to the best way forward. In an arena where I was clearly out of my depth, Ed and his team pulled me into the boat, dried me off, and quickly made it clear I was in very good, and very capable, hands.

Best in Ed Aug 26, 2019

T. Edward Welbourn is one of the best attorneys I know. Honest, to the point, and gets things done. If you need a good attorney, I doubt you'd find anything but the best in Ed.

This firm saved my life Mar 22, 2019

This firm saved my life. I was in big trouble with the law with a potential sentence of 25 - Life. Ed represented me in court and after only two court dates he was able to arrange a sentence of probation with no time if I don't break the law again. Essentially, Mr. Welbourn and his associates have given me one more chance at life. I could never thank them enough. You can absolutely take comfort in knowing they are on your side and carry a strong presence in the courtroom.

Well Represented with This Legal Team Feb 14, 2018

Without sharing private details, I will say that working with Ed and Kate have made a very unpleasant situation bearable. Their expertise in working with the legal system, along with their kind manner and non-judgmental attitude made working with them a rewarding experience. I gladly provide my testimony and recommend them for legal counsel in any situation. You are well represented with this legal team—they are not out to make a buck! They seek to get the best possible outcome, and they did for me and my family.

Highly Recommend Ed for Defense Nov 1, 2017

T. Edward Welbourn represented me a few times several years ago. I respected his counsel and he was always available by phone. I would highly recommend Ed for any criminal defense attorney needs. With Ed's defense in court, I now have a clean record and a great life ahead.

T. Edward Welbourn did a fantastic job as my attorney, and he really cared about me and my case. He is the man to have on your team. He is professional and well respected by his colleagues.

This is your guy Mar 30, 2017

Very few attorneys can command the kind of respect that Mr. Welbourn garners in the court. As a young attorney with a burgeoning criminal defense practice, I am acutely aware of those who have been practicing in the same courtroom for decades before my start. Mr. Welbourn is not intimidating, cold, or pretentious... characteristics that are all too familiar for most attorneys in the Southern California courtroom. It is Mr. Welbourn's demonstrative humility that speaks to his abilities as a criminal defense litigator. Underneath that quiet, cool demeanor is a lion of a lawyer. I can say that about maybe three or four attorneys whom I have met during these past 2 years. If you find yourself in serious trouble, take it from an attorney who practices in the same field... this is your guy. I never allowed people's reputations to precede them... because they always speak to the past... successful they may have been. Rather, every time Mr. Welbourn is standing or seated in the courtroom, every other colleague, judge, clerk knows it. When Mr. Welbourn speaks, people listen... juries listen. If seriously unfortunate circumstances befall you, this is the call you need to make.
