Child Custody / Family

I could not of hired a better attorney than Stuart to handle my case. He was very organized and very responsive any time I needed him and getting back to the other party. He always had my daughters best interest at heart which helped ease my stress levels a lot.

Perfection

Stuart was & has been the best council I’ve ever received thus far. I’m in my 30’s and have been in & out of the penal system for the better part of my life. I’ve always used a hired lawyer never a court appointed one so unfortunately I have a vast amount of experience with lawyers. Mr. Saylor has ...not only exceeded the representation I received from each one of them before him but also my expectations of him. Mr. Saylor was able to get my case completely thrown out! Mr. Saylor was able to have the “court” (not myself) foot the bill on All court fees as well the cost to have it wiped off my record entirely (which I assure you from experience is not cheap). I could use up the characters we’re allotted w/o the energy of blinking an eye requires about not only my satisfaction with results but as well with the over all experience Mr. Saylor provided. I'll end with the example I was impressed with most though there’s plenty more examples of Mr. Saylor’s excellence. On his own time Mr. Saylor met with the Distract Attorney privately in an attempt to reach a resolution before my day in court. I'll repeat ON HIS OWN PERSONAL TIME! This wasn’t something I was billed for what so ever. I will continue to refer, I will continue to sing his praises & heaven forbid continue to hire Mr. Saylor. He’s absolutely worth every penny (No exaggeration worth his weight in gold). His law firm really lucked out hiring this gentleman.

Love the honesty

I was referred to Mr. Saylor by another lawyer and I am glad I did. What I liked the most about him was his honesty. He made me realize what exactly I was dealing with and showed me what the possible consequences were. I did not feel like he was doing this to scare but to rather ensure I had a good g...rasp of the situation. He provide me with helpful information on what steps I could take to help my case. At the end of the day, he was able to assist in getting us the best case scenario and I am extremely happy with the results. If a friend of mine needed a lawyer I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Saylor to him/her.

Discharge Board

Words really can't express (Capt) Mr. Saylor's performance during my case. He displayed such a higher level of pride and passion for his craft for the entire duration of my case from the beginning of the process leading up to the ending decision of my review board. I was always his number one priorit...y. Not only did (Capt) Mr. Saylor take great measures to always make sure I was comfortable, he also educated me in every aspect to prepare myself and clarify any outcome of the decisions I made leading up the review board. He's very well spoken and intelligent. If not the best, (Capt) Mr. Saylor is definitely in the top tier amongst the best and I'd definitely recommend his services.
