Cases
I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Stuart on several business-related matters and I have found him to be creative and knowledgeable in many aspects of the law. I found Stuart to have integrity and propriety.
Brian H. Herschfus
Real Estate Attorney
An IRS agent threatened to put me in jail claiming I owed $120,000 in income taxes and penalties. I hired Mr. Sandweiss and he got the whole mess settled saving me over $100K without criminal charges. Outstanding!!!
Jay R.
I highly recommend Mr. Stuart Sandweiss’s expert legal services. Several years ago, I was involved in an auto accident and received multiple tickets. Mr. Sandweiss was able to get all of the points waived and reduce my total ticket amount to $175. Recently, I had a problem with fraudulent fees and interest charges on my Home Depot credit card. Again, Mr. Sandweiss stepped in and promptly resolved the issue. I have found Mr. Sandweiss to be extremely knowledgeable, courteous and honest (which can be hard to come by in this profession!).

Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
As a bankruptcy practitioner, I have helped numerous homeowners who faced foreclosure evictions either work out deals to repurchase their homes or settlements where they received ""cash for keys.""
