Stuart provided me with expert advice and I was always well-prepared for court appearances and hearings. She and her assistant Liza Malnick listened to my concerns, answered my questions and gave me warm, genuine support throughout the long, protracted process of divorcing my ex-husband. I highly recommend Stuart for any legal matter and continue to believe that she and her team were the silver lining to my divorce. I am forever grateful for her professionalism and dedication to my case.

Stuart is an excellent attorney; she helped me tremendously while going through a tough and contentious divorce. She kept me on track with the true issues so that I did not get caught up in the insignificant rhetoric of my ex. I have referred Stuart to several of my colleagues/friends and will continue to do so. I felt I was in great hands with Stuart and her firm. Her assistant, Liza, was incredibly supportive when Stuart was in court or unavailable. Excellence!

Stuart is incredible! She took an entirely contentious situation with multiple layers and crafted a settlement for me that I rejoice over! Her skill in keeping me on task and focused was perfect in my scattered and frayed state of mind. She is brilliant and exactly what I needed. My friends still call to get her info for their friends and acquaintances! I highly recommend Stuart as she surpassed my expectations on all fronts! Thank you.

If you want someone to attack victims and defend a monster all to make a buck. She is your person. People like her are a huge reasom why victims cannot come forward and she makes the world a terrible place. If you truly are a monster though, she should be your lawyer. She has no moral issue with further attacking victims.
