This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent representation

I had a probate situation where the executor was extremely non-responsive for more than 2 years. Mr. Stuart understood my needs clearly and took swift action to compel the executor to act. He communicated clearly about course of action as well as any and all potential fees that would apply. I do n...ot anticipate ever needing another probate attorney in Illinois, but if I do, Mr. Stuart is the one I will call.

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.
