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.

Excellent Feedback on Real Estate Law
Stuart is a thorough respondent who gives it to you straight and clear. He’s answered a few of my questions and given me direction as to where to find the ultimate solution. I highly recommend him for your legal needs!

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.

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.
