Outstanding Lawyer who truly cares!

I've worked with Stuart on a number of different business related issues. He's been very responsive, caring and patient in every one of our encounters. His knowledge and approach to each individual issue was exceptional and I've recommended him to several colleagues who only have good things to say... about their work with him and his team.

excellent, informed support

I had an issue with a former employer claiming non-adherence to an NDA. Attorney Torch helped evaluate the details, craft a response that he delivered to my former employer and provided guidance to me for actions moving forward. His help gave me confidence in my own actions and that I would have th...e right support needed regardless of what actions my former employer chose to take.

Difficult Workplace

Stuart was a great listener and I felt like he understood the situation. I am very glad I hired him to help me. Even when things were very difficult, he helped me to be thoughtful about the next steps that needed to be taken. I felt empowered and much safer after working through the problems with hi...m. He was available and well-prepared when we needed to plan our actions. His fee was fair and I considered it money well spent.

Excellent, Professional, Responsive Service

I retained Stuart Torch to assist in the negotiation of a more favorable severance agreement with my previous employer. Stuart listened intently to my situation and skillfully and strategically negotiated an appreciably improved monetary settlement than what was initially offered. In addition, Stuar...t was very responsive and available to answer any questions or concerns. If you want an exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and highly skilled employment attorney, Stuart Torch is the one you want on your team. He did an amazing job!

Very Helpful and Intelligent

Stuart Torch is a GREAT attorney. He is very professional, intelligent, kind and compassionate. I really enjoyed having him as my attorney. Stuart took his time when he talked to me on the phone and explained everything in detail. He was never in a hurry. He answered all my questions and offered exp...lanations for everything. He always told me, "I want what is best for you." He really cared about me and this was very comforting, because my lawsuit was very stressful. Stuart returned my phone calls or emails in a very prompt manner and this was also very helpful and impressive. Stuart is a very hard worker who will do everything that is needed to help you win a lawsuit. I received a very large monetary settlement from an organization who wrongfully terminated me, and this is because of Stuart Torch's hard work and dedication to my case. Stuart Torch is very intelligent, dedicated to his clients, kind, compassionate and caring. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
