One of the best!

Stuart did my mothers' end-of-life documents, and mine, several years ago and his work was invaluable. Knowing that this paperwork is in his vault is a comfort to me. But even more important to me was that he answered all of the questions I had all through my mother's probate gratis. I kept waitin...g for him to tell me that he was going to have to charge me for the time I was taking up but he never did. He really does stay with you as long as you need him. (I do expect to be charged if I rewrite anything, of course.)

Estate planning lawyer | Nov 22

Relationship: Co-worker

"Stuart's credentials speak for themselves, but what they don't sufficiently convey is the level of care he demonstrates in developing strong and lasting relationships with his clients. He is not only their trusted advisor but also their friend."

Elder law lawyer | Mar 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"Stuart is a legend in his own right. He treats his clients with respect, he goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of, he is knowledgeable, and he is a zealous advocate. Stuart was my professor for Wills and Trusts, and we have worked alongside one another in the Minnesota State Bar Association Elder Law Section. Now, I have the privilege of learning from Stuart at the same firm."

Elder law lawyer | Oct 10

Relationship: Friend

"I endorse this lawyer. As a member of Stuart's "church" and as his friend I have seen Stuart pour 200% effort into everything he does. He shows interest and respect to every human being he comes across. Stuart's presence lightens every heart he touches. Further, his expertise and knowledge of the law are top-notch. Anyone needing help with an issue of elder law should employ Stuart Bear."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
