 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough great things about Stuart, and highly recommend him for any of your legal needs - don't look any further.  He was able to fit my wife and I in through ARAG referral same-day for a consultation regarding a sensitive real estate topic.  Almost immediately, Stuart had aggressively and professionally engaged the counterparty, and secured us a satisfactory resolution within hours.  Problem solved.  We were so pleased we decided to have Stuart continue to represent us for a home purchase and condo sale.  We again felt quite secure knowing Stuart had our back, reviewed all of the transaction paperwork, and answered any questions we had on the topic in a timely and accessible manner.  Definitely will be reaching out to him again whenever the need arises!
