Business-Real Estate/IRA

Stuart was wonderful in helping us solve a business issue regarding Real Estate/IRA issue. He truly cared about helping us solve our issue fast. He kept us informed all the way and was very professional. We would use Stuart in a heart beat for any business issue that we may ever have. Was so glad... to have found Stuart.

Avvo Rating

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.
