Excellent Service

The law firm of Stewart Guss gave us excellent service. We had tried to handle the issue on our own, but we having no luck. Our lawyer was very attentive to what we wanted and was timely in letting us know what was occurring in regards to our case. The lawyer answered our tons of questions, and made ...us feel like they had our best interests at heart. We we given great advice on how to take care of issues, and were very happy with this law firm. Hopefully we don't have to need a lawyer again, but if we do, I would definitely use this law firm again.

Excellent service

I was very pleased with Stewart Guss. My husband and I were very nervous and Stewart explained exactly what was going to happen. He walked us through it step-by-step and answered our many questions. He kept us up-to-date on what was going on with our case. He clearly discussed the good and the bad of... taking the offered settlement, and gave us great advice.

You Will NOT find and more Honest and Compassionate Attorney, STOP LOOKING ANY FURTHER!!

I usually Don't write reviews on a regular basis, But with the Positive experience I had with Mr. Guss I Just cant let that go without sharing! As a Family man myself I can't help but think about how important it is to take care of my family, Mr. Guss is no stranger to this idea either. His loyalty a...nd dedication to me and my family is second to none. His focus is on doing what is right, and there was no doubt anytime during our time together that I second guessed that. His unparalleled knowledge of local law, commitment to his client, and dedicated staff is a recipe for success. Attorneys can be intimidating at times, I must say working with Mr. Guss was a pleasure from start to finish and at no time did I ever feel that way. His Staff is attentive and informative, always providing updates or answers. I could tell at all times he actually cared about our case and believed in making things right, I could walk away knowing he was going to take care of what needed to be done. He provided what I needed to know, and would deal with the things I didn't need to know making the issue lighter to swallow. But rest assure Mr. Guss is on your side and will do WHATEVER it takes to help and win your case! Please, if your searching for an attorney in and around the Houston Texas area... look no further! I mean it when I say, You will NOT be disappointed!

Don't give up

One year ago to this month, i was hit and totaled my car. In the beginning i was afraid to drive, but without the Associate and staff i would not made it through the injuries and trama I had incurred. The staff was extremely insiteful, compasionate and prepared me for what was to come. Finacially, ...without not being able to work, we suffered. but in the end it was ok. Thank you Stewart Gus and Associates!!!:)

"I endorse this lawyer.I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to the attention of AVVO, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

"I have worked together with Stewart on several personal injury matters. He is one of the most creative, client-centered attorneys that I have ever encountered. The results that he obtains on behalf of his clients are top-notch, but more important, he focus on providing to the client what it is that they want most, be it their day in court, or a negotiated resolution to a matter. Stewart Guss is an example of the best the profession has to offer."

"Stewart is, quite simply, an amazing laywer. I have referred clients to Stewart for over 15 years. Stewart's legal abilities are excellent - 10 out of 10. Not only is Stewart extremely well versed in personal injury law, the quality which really set Stewart apart from his peers is his compassion for his clients. Stewart actually cares. This concern shows both in his vigorous, agressive (and in my 15 years of experience - successful) representation of his clients, it also shows in his dedication to making sure that his clients are well informed about their cases and well advised when making decisions. I refer my my friends and family to Stewart when they need a personal injury lawyer."

"Stewart joined my law firm shortly after passing the bar exam. He was one of the best associates we ever had, and I wish he was still with the firm. That's the highest praise I have. Stewart is as smart as they come, and has that special knack for getting excellent results for his clients. I'm proud of how successful he has been since leaving my firm and starting his own practice, and it's always a pleasure to refer clients to Stewart; knowing he'll make them happy and make me look good in the process."

Lawsuits and disputes lawyer | Dec 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I know Stewart as a friend and colleague, although I could easily have written this endorsement as a satisfied client. Not long ago I asked for Stewart's help in a dispute with my homeowner's association. I had been working on a particular issue for close to a year, but with no satisfactory result. Stewart wrote a persuasive (and justifiably assertive) letter to my homeowner's association and, within hours, the association gave me everything that Stewart had requested. There is no higher compliment that an attorney can pay to a colleague, than entrusting the colleague with the attorney's own legal matter. It is my pleasure to endorse Stewart Guss, not only because he helped me, but because I know that Stewart treats all of his clients with the same prompt and personal attention that I received in my own situation."

Personal injury lawyer | Nov 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Stewart and I became friends a few years ago when we shared office space, and I've had many chances to consult with him on my cases or his. He has first-rate legal skills, enhanced by personal creativity and a passion for advocacy. And Stewart may be one of the best lawyers I know at communicating with his clients. He uses language and examples that his clients can understand. As a result, they can be confident that they're being well represented and that the recommendations Stewart makes are likely to be solid ones, carefully chosen to fit their individual situations. Many clients feel "alone" even after they've hired a lawyer; but I believe Stewart's clients always know he's in their corner, fighting for their interests, and that to him, they're never just files or pieces of paper or a chance to earn a fee. He's a man of integrity, sound judgment, and great heart, and I'm proud to call him a friend and colleague."

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.
