Stuart L. O'Brien

My family and I hired Stuart O'Brien as our probate attorney for my sister's estate in Missouri. Because our family lived out of state we dealt with all of the correspondence either on the phone or e-mail. I was the Personal Representative and had never been through this process before. Stuart to...ok the time and patiently explained the process as each step came up. Every question I had was answered throughly until I understood. Stuart was excellent at returning phone calls, and often I was the one returning his phone calls checking to make sure I had completed the task before the deadlines came up. I learned so much and enjoyed every conversation we had. He has an incredible sense of humor and knows when to implement it even in the trying times we shared together. He went the extra mile and would drive through my sister's neighborhood and let me know if her house was ok since it sat vacant for awhile. The entire process took two and a half years to complete and I enjoyed many conversations regarding my sister's probate peppered with what was going on in each of our communities. We have since finished up the probate and I can't believe how much I have learned and how much better off I am now that I know how to set things up for my family in case of the inevitable. Better to be prepared than unaware. Thank you, Stuart, for educating me on all the legal aspects of planning for the future and all of the laughs from your hilarious one liners!!!
