Excellent advocate

Mr. Stolz knows the law thoroughly and thoughtfully considered my situation. He offered me different options. Most importantly, he was a sympathetic ear with my interests at the forefront.

Incompetent and Unprofessional

Mr. Stolz wasted my time and money by arguing other party's points with me. Mr. Stolz he screamed at me for not finding information he was looking for promptly. I don't believe screaming at clients is professional. He failed to represent my position on an issue at a hearing. In my opinion, Mr. Stolz ...lacks the confidence to argue and win. Wouldn't recommend.

Look for a competent advocate

Hired on 11.17 to provide a legal letter requesting insurance from a business I was wanting to file a claim with. Terminated on 1.17 for never receiving what I hired for. Communication was poor, was yelled at, told I had an unrealistic expectation demand letter written & deliver within 30 days (funny... because I hired a new lawyer on 2.1 and she finished, revised and mailed the letter 7 days after I paid her). Did not receive a bill until a month after termination and it included charges for my free consultation, credit card fees that are against UT consumer protection laws, over charged my communication & for phone messages that were 7 seconds long. Beware of contracts that Mr Stolz adds onto, and doesn't sign on the date he added on, make sure you detail what you want completed not what he wants completed. I was awarded a judgement, Mr Stolz filed motion after deadline, like all things handled with me he never provides a timely response. My $$ have been controlled by Mr Stolz since 11.2021, a year later I am still waiting for $$$. Beware!! I do not recommend Mr Stolz as a competent representative who supports your needs.

SUPER helpful

Mr. Stolz was a prompt and courteous legal service aid who really helped me not only get through my legal proceedings, but also helped me to understand how the whole process worked. If you're ever in need, I recommend him!
