Responded quickly and had answers

Called me back almost immediately. Had answers to my questions and was able to advise me on some "homework" to get done in order to effectively help me get a handle on my situation. I definitely recommend giving him a call.

Provided good advice and information

Mr. Lautin provided great information and detail, including the Texas code specifically addressing my issue, and the statue of limitations on this type of case. His information is very helpful. Thank you.

Thorough responses!

Stuart's responses are usually within 24hrs. They are very detailed and you can tell he is giving an intelligent honest opinion, as opposed to other lawyers on avvo who lack to provide value to your concerns.

Mr. Leroy D Koerth

He responded to my questions very quickly and answered my follow up question.I'm very pleased and would hire him if I need a lawyer.

Posted by anonymous | November 20, 2016

Honest, timely and notable.

I received a response within hours that was entirely true and free. Please keep this entity in place, Avvo.

Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2016

Awesome

The initial response was quick. And appreciated. I was amazed. Thirty minutes later I received a response from my bank with a similar response and the direction I needed was filled and matter closed. Thank you very much.

Posted by Mary Foster | September 16, 2015

His advice was fabulous !!

I would give anything though to have Mr. Lautin represent me. I'm currently in Maine and the scam artist lives in Mabank Texas , makes it hard to do it yourself .

Condo Plot

Mr. Lautin has helped me on the questions about my townhomes on 7-1-15. He has profound knowledge and he is very responsive. In my opinion, those two are the most important factors when selecting an attorney.
