This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Simply..the Best!

Generally, I am not a person that writes reviews. However, Mr. Stark is such an exceptional attorney, that I felt compelled to let others know. Mr. Stark does not, (thankfully), fit the stereotypical attributes of most attorneys that I have encountered. He is direct, honest and truly seems to ca...re about the well being of this clients. He listens. He replies honestly and with very knowledgeable responses based on experience. He is not robotic and arrogant, as most attorneys that I have consulted with in the past. He is very knowledgeable about licencing issues, so if you are in a health or medical related field and have licensing questions or concerns, he is the one to see, though he specializes in other areas as well. Granted, may I add, he is also extremely humble, as he has a PhD and teaches Law and isl also is also a Judge. I found him to be quite generous with his time, and did not stare at his watch like many attorneys will do after a few minutes. This attorney is not driven my money, rather by helping those in need of assistance. He also has a great sense of humor, which helps greatly when stressed! I could not be happier about the outcome. Mr. Stark goes above and beyond to assist his clients. I am so glad to have consulted with him. Highly recommend!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome Attorney!!

I needed an attorney for a complicated case and two separate people recommended Mr. Stark. Boy, were they correct. Smart, diligent, honest, hard working and kept us informed of the good and the bad at every step. Great results. All attorneys should be like him. Plus, he's got a dry sense of humor ...which helped to diffuse our anxiety. Highest recommendation!!!!

Words can not describe how wonderful he is.

Typically when you are in need of an attorney it is because something isn't going as it should, or there was a wrong of some kind. Many attorneys forget that their clients are people, who are not always familiar with the legal system, and these situations cause a lot of stress for most of us. Mr. St...ark is empathetic and has the ability to explain things in a way that the average person can understand. I didn't feel like I had to take a Latin course to have a conversation with him. He is very clear and instead of being confused, you will feel empowered by the knowledge you gain from him. His confidence and preparedness will also put you at ease. There is nothing worse than feeling like you could do a better job than your attorney and feeling helpless as you watch he or she blunder around. That will not happen with Mr. Stark, he is a phenomenal attorney. Mr. Stark is not only a skilled litigator who will come up with perspectives most attorneys would not even think of, because he knows the law inside and out and is always prepared. The other side can not throw him because he will know everything about the case and any laws pertaining to it. Mr. Stark is HONEST and has INTEGRITY, which unfortunately many attorneys that I have dealt with in the past did not. He does not taken advantage of people or prey on clients at a time when they need help. I can not say enough about how wonderful he really is. He will be as invested in your case as you are and you will know it. He truly cares about his clients and works hard for them. If you need an attorney I would strongly recommend him. To put it in perspective I have hired ten attorneys in the last two years for various matters and Mr. Stark is the only one I have written a review for and would recommend.

Ace Litigator

Ed represented me is an action against my contractor for building defects in my new home. He was extremely thorough is ferreting out the details relating to the construction defects and prosecuted the case to a substantial settlement. I would recommend Ed without reservation for any litigation matt...er. Our firm does Intellectual Property law and we recommend all of our clients to Ed for any type of business law, business formations or related litigation.
