I am very grateful to Mr. Heller for his time and patience in listening to my issue, and offering invaluable information and advice. He is so honest, direct, and professional. He would like to represent me, but due to schedule conflict, he referred me to another lawyer with excellent expertise in the law topic addressing my issue, which led to good and timely result. Mr. Heller is a lawyer that I can fully trust, and definitely recommend!

Mr. Heller was extremely helpful in our phone consultation. He asked directed questions and offered an honest assessment that helped me better understand my issue. He offered resources and further information after the call. Although we did not work together, my time with Mr. Heller was very valuable. Highly recommended.

I spoke with Mr. Heller, after needing some advice in a small claims case with my ex-landlord not returning myour security deposit. He was able to help advise me on what I should expect.

We had a situation where we were a small tenant inside of a big market. We relied on the location being good because of the foot traffic from the big market. When the big anchor tenant when out of business for 6 months, many people thought we closed down and our landlord wouldn't let us out of our contract. They eventually reopened but many people thought we went out of business and we lost many customers. We owed a large balance of about $80,000 in back dated rent. Stuart was able to negotiate this balance to about $25,000 which was a number we were comfortable with. He is very kind and did the job when many other lawyers and people could not. Would definitely recommend!

I hired Stu to help me negotiate a commercial lease for a franchise I was planning to open. He was very thorough, professional, honest, and timely throughout the whole process. Stu was always accessible and made me feel like I was his only client! The negotiations with the Landlord and Franchisor ended up taking more than 3 months, and Stu was instrumental in proposing terms in the lease that all three parties agreed to. I would recommend Stu to everyone and will use his services for all future business transactions. -Dmitriy S

Having a real estate and legal background, I was not sure I needed any help with reviewing my lease but found Stuart's expertise and help far exceeded my expectation. He was very valuable and would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone. I appreciated his timely communication and help with negotiation as well with my business lease.

I had a sticky situation with my landlord and Stuart did a great job of counseling me as to what my options were, and pointed me in the direction that was best for me, and not the most profitable for him. He included me on all pertinent correspondence to my landlord's attorney and even included some additional items in the settlement that were favorable to me and I never would have thought of on my own. I enjoyed working with Stuart and if I ever need legal advise again he will be my first contact.

Stu is a clear and to the point communicator. An ally during stressful times-- a true advocate. Reliable, and took our problem to a positive outcome in a straightforward manner. His counsel was sound, and he guided us through complicated matters giving us balanced perspective on all options. As a business owner I have worked with many attorneys-- and as i stated in the title to this review: working with Stu has been the most positive experience we have had working with a lawyer. I highly recommend him.

We had a situation where we were a small tenant inside of a big market. We relied on the location being good because of the foot traffic from the big market. When the big anchor tenant when out of business for 6 months, many people thought we closed down and our landlord wouldn't let us out of our contract. They eventually reopened but many people thought we went out of business and we lost many customers. We owed a large balance of about $80,000 in back dated rent. Stuart was able to negotiate this balance to about $25,000 which was a number we were comfortable with. He is very kind and did the job when many other lawyers and people could not. Would definitely recommend!

I hired Stu to help me negotiate a commercial lease for a franchise I was planning to open. He was very thorough, professional, honest, and timely throughout the whole process. Stu was always accessible and made me feel like I was his only client! The negotiations with the Landlord and Franchisor ended up taking more than 3 months, and Stu was instrumental in proposing terms in the lease that all three parties agreed to. I would recommend Stu to everyone and will use his services for all future business transactions. -Dmitriy S

Having a real estate and legal background, I was not sure I needed any help with reviewing my lease but found Stuart's expertise and help far exceeded my expectation. He was very valuable and would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone. I appreciated his timely communication and help with negotiation as well with my business lease.

I had a sticky situation with my landlord and Stuart did a great job of counseling me as to what my options were, and pointed me in the direction that was best for me, and not the most profitable for him. He included me on all pertinent correspondence to my landlord's attorney and even included some additional items in the settlement that were favorable to me and I never would have thought of on my own. I enjoyed working with Stuart and if I ever need legal advise again he will be my first contact.

Stu is a clear and to the point communicator. An ally during stressful times-- a true advocate. Reliable, and took our problem to a positive outcome in a straightforward manner. His counsel was sound, and he guided us through complicated matters giving us balanced perspective on all options. As a business owner I have worked with many attorneys-- and as i stated in the title to this review: working with Stu has been the most positive experience we have had working with a lawyer. I highly recommend him.

I am very grateful to Mr. Heller for his time and patience in listening to my issue, and offering invaluable information and advice. He is so honest, direct, and professional. He would like to represent me, but due to schedule conflict, he referred me to another lawyer with excellent expertise in the law topic addressing my issue, which led to good and timely result. Mr. Heller is a lawyer that I can fully trust, and definitely recommend!
