About Stuart
Biography
As the only Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy attorney in West Palm Beach, practicing bankruptcy law since 1977, I possess a high degree of expertise in the field of consumer bankruptcy law. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Certification in Consumer Bankruptcy.
Attainment of this certification requires peer review, successful performance on a lengthy examination and completion of 60 hours of continuing legal education.
I have also authored a text book for lawyers on bankruptcy which is part of the Lawyer's Desk Library of Practice Series.
Many of the cases that I have handled have been reported in law books nationally and are precedent-setting.
Having twice won the Pro-Bono Award from the Palm Beach County Legal Aid Society, I have demonstrated my compassion for public service.
I would be pleased if I could offer you a free consultation at a time convenient for you.
