After representing many attorneys, Stuart Sandweiss has been called "The Attorney's Attorney." Just six weeks after receiving his license to practice law, a seasoned attorney retained Stuart as trial counsel for a week-long jury trial for a case in which the attorney was a party. When he called and asked Stuart to represent him he remarked – “I know you and I need you to win this case.” (Stuart went on to win that trial and the court ultimately awarded him sizeable attorney fee against the losing party).
Six months after vigorously advocating, and ultimately successfully settling, a highly contested case, and only a year out of law school, Stuart's opposing counsel called and asked Stuart to represent him in a lawsuit. Stuart told him you’re an attorney, you have several children that are attorneys – why do you want me? The other attorney replied, “I saw what you did in the case that we had together and I want you on my side.”
Years later Stuart was again brought into a case as trial counsel — this time for a four-week jury trial between two automotive suppliers. During the trial Stuart spotted an issue and, in a very short time, found a way to knock out an over $1.2 million claim against his client. Later he used his skills as a CPA to analyze the numbers — ultimately convincing the jury to award his client over $8 million on a counter-claim. The jury verdict was later affirmed by both the Michigan Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court.
Over the years both judges and opposing attorneys have praised Stuart for his vigorous and unrelenting advocacy. Recently an opposing attorney complimented him and commented — “he goes for the jugular and does not stop squeezing until there is no blood left.”
After practicing for over 22 years Stuart Sandweiss knows the ins and outs of the court system and enjoys helping people navigate the system -- especially in criminal cases where the prosecution tries to take "short cuts" in order to obtain a conviction that the government is not entitled to.
