Lawyer's Review

Stuart has a thoughtful, practical, and analytical approach to his work. He listens while he keeps the primary subject as the focus. He offers helpful feedback from his perspective as a lawyer and as a person.

Excellent experienced attorney

My entire experience from first contact was exceptional. Mr. Torch explained the process to help me understand it. We spent time on the phone gathering the information needed for my case. He kept me updated whenever something needed to be addressed or completed. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and ...very good at what he does. Thank you for the great representation!

Highly Recommend

Came highly recommended to me by another attorney, and he exceeded my expectations. Personable, compassionate, but intentional and assertive. Readily available to me throughout the process, thorough in preparations. Thoughtful and intentional about each action. Would recommend to anyone needing a...n attorney, especially in matters involving employment.

Great experience in a bad situation.

Mr. Torch was very professional, yet very personable to speak with. His response to text messages and emails where spot on. He return them in no time flat. I felt he really went to bat for me and got me more than I could have gotten myself. I would highly recommend Mr. Torch.

We had a consultation with Stuart. The consultation fee was very reasonable. His staff was very efficient. He was able in a couple of days to review our case, answer all of our questions and he gave us sound legal advice. He asked us to follow up and although we did not need his services, we woul...d recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice regarding employment, labor, litigation and/or business law.

  • 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.
