Wills preparation

We hired Steven for help with our will preparation. He took the time to understand our needs and clearly answered more than a handful of questions as to why something should or shouldn’t be done. The whole process was so easy once the draft was ready. We reviewed and approved it and went in for signi...ng. His staff is extremely helpful as well. Would absolutely recommend him to all !!

A great concise free consulation

My tenant refuses my declining his request to rent another year after the lease expires.  By chance, I got a free consultation. Attorney Steve Hart called me in time. Attorney Steven very patiently listened to my case.  My first impression is that Steven is very sharp.  Soon he got to know what's goi...ng on. He correctly predicted what might happen and advised me how to handle it.  Steven further read all the affidavits and emailed me back with a concise answer.  I got an attorney between the schedule and the appointment period. Next time I will definitely first go to Steven. I probably will switch to Steven.

Excellent Attorney and his assistant

I called Attorney Hart's office for a legal issue, and the call was answered by Samatha. Shamatha is such a nice lady and she promised me that attorney would look over my issue. As it was not a very complicated matter, she told me attorney Hart would provide legal advice for free. Samatha called me t...he second day and gave me attorney Hart's legal opinions and she was so nice even explained in much details for my matter. I definitely recommend Attorney Hart and his office to anyone who wants his legal advice or representation.

Paying it Forward...

Had a random question I emailed to Mr. Hart about my rights in a recent "situation" that happened. Mr. Hart called me by the end of the same business day, unexpected however welcomed, to discuss my concerns. He provided me with very informative information without hesitation…knowing I would most like...ly not even require his or any attorneys assistance when all was said and done. Very pleasant, Very profession, Very informative….I am Very Grateful! Thank You Mr Hart ~

Grateful

I was in immediate need of legal guidance as my current lawyer was unable to assist due to a personal emergency of her own. I came across an article online by Steven Hart that was related to my dilemma. I reached out and he helped me immediately. His answers were clear and concise. And with his gener...osity of council I was confident in the next steps I had to take. I’m am forever grateful to Steven for his support through a very difficult situation.

Sample of Legal Cases

Joanne Miller v. Henry Saunders, et al

The Court affirmed the order of the Superior Court in favor of the Defendants

Stephen NOTARIANNI on behalf of Joseph NOTARIANNI, SR. v. Joseph NOTARIANNI, JR.

None of the exceptions to the mootness doctrine are applicable to this matter. Because Joseph, Sr. has died, the plaintiff's protection from abuse action is no longer in controversy. Thus, the case is moot.

Estate of Brian W. Hart a/d/a Brian William Hart v. Cheryl A. LeBlanc

This court reversed the judgment of the Superior Court in favor of the Petitioner

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
