Stuart Muntzing Skok's Reviews

I only met with Ms Skok once a couple years ago. I meant to post a review but just never got around to it. During my divorce, I met with several lawyers to get their take on my situation. Some offered no useful advice. Another one seemed very competent but was clearly trying to steer me toward a drawn out and expensive contest. Only Ms Skok offered me really shrewd, useful advice. I am a small fish. She treated me very well anyway and made a huge difference for me. I recommend her without hesitation. I'm really grateful for our meeting. Worth every last penny and then some.

When I came into the collabritave process I had very little self esteme and felt like my world was going collapse. Thought my Ex was gonna take me for everything including my daughter.
Stuart helped me regain my dignity and my self esteme by working through this process. I not only have custody of my daughter but feel like I have a backbone again. The collabrative process was the only route for our family and left no stone unturned. It made me realize that the negotiation and compomise is well worth it and with input from my daughter things worked out for all. Thanks again Stuart for helping me at this time of need you are awsome!!!

I have one of the more unusual/convoluted child custody cases. Stuart was able to focus on a strategy to get some resolution to it. She was able to read the likely response of the other party and OPC. -I can't stress how important this "clairvoyance" was to my particular case, since irrationality dominated. I doubt that anyone can find a better Family Law Attorney in Rockville.

With five children, multiple businesses, and many levels of complexity associated with divorce, selection of an attorney was absolutely critical to me. I interviewed many high profile lawyers, but 2 years ago, made one of the best decisions of my life, to go with Stuart. Today, I finalized a settlement decree, after two years on constant litigation. Due to Stuarts efforts, I came out with joint custody of my kids (I am a working Dad and divorced a non working mom), and with an exceptional outcome financially. At every juncture, Stuart provided insightful and careful counsel. She was shrewd in her litigation and motions. She kept me from becoming unduly emotional in this very difficult process. She NEVER over billed. Her legal fees were 1/3 of my X wife, and I had a spectacular outcome. Stuart is a consummate professional, who was unflappable in the court room as well as in deposition and settlement negotiations. Her counsel was sage. Her goal was always with the long view of what was best for me and especially my children. She is bright, personable, and clearly respected by the judges (the case was so long we had two over the years). I always felt welcome to call or email. Her staff was fantastic.

As a physician MD with Ivy league background, I do not suffer fools well. Stuart rose, in EVERY instance to exceed my expectations as a lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone, unhesitatingly, regardless of the stakes. She will not disappoint. Finally, her model of practice does NOT utilize the junior - senior attorney which invariably costs more and produces training for the junior associate at your expense.

In short, Stuart is absolutely the best at what she does! My name is above. I am happy to serve as a reference for her. I am in the book!

Ms. Skok managed my divorce from a very emotional former spouse who was difficult to communicate with. The settlement was fair and reasonable, with provisions for non-compliance.

Stuart is a true professional, she meticulously presented relevant material with intentional timing and the guided entire divorce process with grace, expedience and thoughtful consideration to an excellent result.
In the throes of my emotional upheaval, she displayed reason and passion for the desired outcome, never wavering from the goal. She lead me to a rational, peaceful and joyful resolution with ease. I can highly recommend Ms. Skok for all matters of Family, Custody, Business Entanglement and complicated Alimony issues without question.

Stuart handled my divorce five years ago. I am eternally grateful to her for her brilliance, kindness and all around professionalism. I had no idea what i was doing and i was scared, broke and an all around emotional mess. her patience, legal guidance and sense of humor made an incredibly painful time for me very bearable. I have a great life now and it is due in no small part to Stuart's legal brilliance. She made sure I was protected financially and also protected the welfare of my minor child. If you live in Montgomery County Maryland and need to hire a divorce attorney call her right away!!!!
