EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!

If you are looking for an attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Tony Stuart. I cannot say enough good things about Tony Stuart and his work and knowledge of the law. I hired Mr. Stuart a few years ago to take on a large insurance company that I wanted to sue for fraud, misrepresention, et cetera. Tony took... on my case and I was so impressed with his work, his diligence, and the way he worked with me and explained things to me. He found out amazing things in his investigations and worked hard for me. We settled out of court and Tony got me $1.7 million! If you want a good, competent, no-nonsense, no BS attorney, I suggest you call Mr Stuart, and I say this not only as his client, but as a court reporter. I have been a deposition/court reporter in this town for over 20 years and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Stuart is one of the better attorneys I have seen get the job done. If I ever need an attorney again, I would most definitely call him again.

Personal Injury

We were referred to Tony, who's in LA, by an attorney that I personally knew that's local. We were extremely pleased. He worked extremely hard on our case, kept us informed along the way, worked well with witnesses, and was compassionate about my health issues. He connects well with a jury. He also d...oes a very good job of explaining - you feel like you know what is going on every step of the way.

Tony helped me get my life back

In the six year battle with my health insurance company over unpaid claims, I had no better ally than Tony Stuart. Through hours and hours of depositions, fruitless mediations all the way through to the final settlement negotiation, Tony stayed positive and encouraging, even when I wanted to give up.... Without his hard work, attention to detail, and years of experience fighting these same cases, we would not have been able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties. I can't thank him enough for being in my corner in a fight that was almost nearly as tough as beating cancer.

They just don't come any better.

Tony Stuart is a first class attorney, plain and simple. He is also an intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate human being. My wife and I found ourselves in the regrettable position of having purchased what turned out to be fraudulent insurance. My wife had just been diagnosed with a serious illn...ess and not long afterwards she died leaving me with a huge medical bill. At the time I was facing total ruin. I was referred to Tony who was aware of the company involved and had dealt with them in the past. At a time of deep emotional distress, Tony took the reins and crafted a methodical response and we sued the insurance company. He was very clear with me that my chances of success were limited given the forces arrayed against us, but if I was willing to sustain a lengthy process he was ready to stand alongside me. Our hopes were to take this company to trial and in doing so gain the opportunity to expose them publicly. In the end we were denied that opportunity because the cards were stacked against us, but despite his disappointment Tony stood by me and negotiated a healthy settlement. I owe him an immense debt of gratitude. I fully endorse him as an attorney and recommend you contact him if you are in need.
