This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Number One Attorney

I was the sole survivor of a plane crash a few years back and Stuart was my lawyer. Stuart is one of the top ranked aviation attorneys in the country and consistently ranked in the top 100 lawyers in California. Stuart will not only handle your matter better than anyone I know, but he is trustworthy..., honest, responsive and he really cares about you and your case. In fact, do not be surprised that you will end up becoming real friends over time. This guy is the real deal. And if you do not have an aviation matter, but more of a class action case, his partner, Gretchen Nelson, is also excellent and a top rated attorney. If you need an attorney, this is the place to go!

Louis Pullen

He worked with us on a Plane crash where 14 of our friends and family died. He was a sympathetic, prepared, frank, had good experts and returned are calls promptly. I think he is one of the best in his field. Louis Pullen

Thorough Professional

Stuart worked very hard and long (3+yrs) on our Aviation case. He is pleasant and courteous, but lets nothing slip through the cracks. His work brought to light defects in the design of the plane, that were not obvious, but pivotal at settlement. Discovery of these design defects will help save f...uture lives, if fixed by the manufacturer.

Utmost Integrity

I was represented by Mr. Fraenkel in an aviation matter. Mr. Fraenkel made me feel comfortable and at ease in even the most trying circumstances. I admire his passion for his profession, high level of ethics and professionalism that I came to know while he was representing me. I highly respect and... recommend Mr. Fraenkel!

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Stuart for approximately 20 years - since his days in the Marine Corps in Cherry Point, North Carolina when he spent most of his time around A-6's and Harriers. He knows aviation and aviation law from the ground up like no other attorney. He is also a genuine person, generous with his time, loyal and mindful of his reputation. If I ever were in an airplane crash or involved in any type of personal injury matter, Stuart Fraenkel would be my first choice."

Aviation lawyer | Nov 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Stuart co-counseled an aviation case with me in Portland, Oregon. The case involved catastrophic injuries to a pilot and passenger after a carburetor failed. The case was complex, and we were opposed by a battery of law firms. Despite this, Stuart essentially won the case at the very first round of depositions. Before the defendant witness even realized what he was saying, he admitted wrongdoing. Stuart's preparation had tripped the witness up. Stuart devoted endless hours and resources the case. He is one of the brightest attorneys I have known in 34 years of practice. I wholeheartedly endorse him."

Aviation lawyer | Oct 15

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I met Stuart when opposing him on a complex aviation matter. He exhibited the epitome of client advocacy and legal skills while stiil conducting himself in a professional manner throughout the case. I have since referred some matters to Stuart for handling. He has always maximized the value of the case, conducted thorough investigations before proceeding, and always makes himself available to his clients. I compliment his research, negotiation and advocacy skills. My recommendation of Stuart is without any reservation whatsoever."

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Stuart for about three years. We've worked on a difficult aviation accident matter, an area that requires special knowledge and technical expertise. I found Stuart to be an exceptional attorney in every sense of the term: He was passionate, creative, determined, knowledgeable, and an expert in this particular area of injury law. His commitment and abilities made it possible to resolve the matter early in the litigation stage for a substantial amount of money. I cannot recommend Stuart too highly for anyone seeking the best attorney for an injury case."
