Brilliance & integrity/ grounded

I've known Stuart for 20 years though only in the last few years have I connected for legal advice. He helped with a complicated residential sale for my mom's 2nd home, which was part of a Trust. Since then, I have continued to return to him with other estate needs; I am trustee/caregiver for my mom,... so I am routinely asking his advice. He has just prepared a Service Agreement between my mom and I for my caregiving/nursing role. It is easily readable, lays out all of my responsibilities cleanly and makes for an excellent guiding document. Stuart crafted this great document in just a few days. He is a brilliant attorney. A part of that brilliance is in his ability to listen carefully, absorb the content through his legal filters, then quickly respond with what I need to understand in language I can readily digest. Another aspect of his brilliance is in his ability to handle difficult people. He has keen listening skills, can readily articulate what the person wants, then calmly and matter-of-factly deliver a well-constructed response, in digestable language. Stuart is always professional, while remaining down-to-earth; he is such an easy person to work with. He is readily available by phone and e-mail, returning calls promptly. He has great work ethics and is a man of integrity. His billings are fair; I get excellent value.
