My wife and I retained Stuart Minion in connection with the sale of our house and we could not be any happier with our choice.

What can I say about Stuart Minion that has not already been said!!!. My sister was going through a divorce after 45 years of marriage. I accompanied her throughout this process, so I can speak firsthand as to the experience with Stu, in light of the fact that my sister recently passed away. Stu w...

Amazing Real Estate Lawyer
Stuart was an amazing real estate lawyer! Stuart was the lawyer for the sale of our house and purchase of a new one. He is knowledgable, was easy to contact and communicate with, and everything was done in a timely fashion and with ease. He is extremely diligent and I highly recommend him.

Everything A Lawyer Should Be ......
I am an attorney who was referred to Stu to handle a residential real estate sale in NJ which had complex and significant financial implications. We were selling our house in NJ and purchasing a residence in CA, and the timeline on the 2 transactions was very tight and required substantial coordinat...

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Stuart Minion close to 20 years and he is intelligent, articulate, and honest. I have also had Stuart as an investigator on the Ethics Committee I chaired. His work product confirmed what I had always known. He is a highly skilled attorney. His investigations were organized, concise and well thought out. I highly endorse Stuart Minion. He is an asset to his clients and to the New Jersey Bar."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know stuart for many years. I find him to be honest trustworthy patient and fair with his clients and adversaries. I had the pleasure of being the attorney on the other side of several real estate transactions with Stuart and I have to honestly say that not only is a a great advocate to his client and understands the law, he has the proper professionalism and is well respected in the legal community. I highly recommend Stuart. "
"I had the pleasure of dealing with Stuart Minion on a Municipal Court matter that I was prosecuting. The case could have been a very difficult one due to client control issues, however, Mr. Minion had not only an excellent knowledge base of the applicable law, but a fantastic demeanor with his clients. As skilled attorneys know, knowledge of the law is just a part of the equation when handling a case; equally important is being able to connect with a client and advocate for them as best as one can with the facts at issue. Mr. Minion did just that…he connected with his clients and posed well though out, strong arguments on their behalf. We were able to reach an amicable settlement to an otherwise difficult matter. I highly endorse Stuart Minion not only has an excellent attorney, but as an excellent advocate for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I had the pleasure working with Mr. Minion about a year ago in a divorce case. I strongly find Mr. Minion very knowledgeable and professional attorney!"
"As a highly-specialized boutique law firm which generally limits our practice to personal injury representation and has a large client population, we are frequently contacted by them for representation outside of our area of practice and comfort zone.Over the course of the past twelve years I have developed a relationship with Stuart Minion that allows me to confidently refer Real Estate, Matrimonial, Debtor-Creditor and Transactional matters to him knowing that his services to the client will be responsive, skilled and accomplished in the most professional and effective and cost-efficient manner. Every client that he has represented has been extremely pleased with his services and I anticipate the long continuation of our relationship."
"Stuart is a zealous advocate and a learned bankruptcy attorney and he will aggressively fight to protect his clients. I learned this first hand when he successfully managed to keep a struggling debtor in his home despite overwhelming obstacles against it. I highly recommend Stuart to all bankruptcy clients as he is experienced, professional and skilled."
"I have known Stuart Minion and his partner Scott Sherman in the legal community for many years. They are both honest, ethical and diligent. I would recommend them highly."
"Stuart and I were adversaries on a difficult matrimonial matter several years ago that involved complex business valuation issues. Stuart was a strong and able adversary who zealously advocated for his client while at the same time, guided the matter to a fair and appropriate settlement. Stuart is very knowledgeable in his areas of practice. These include bankruptcy and real estate for which I have referred my clients to Stuart. Stuart is a thorough attorney who zealously represents his clients."
