Hire Stu!

In the highly emotional and complex world of family law, there is no better attorney than Stu Grozbean. He is a gentleman and an artful master of his craft. He won't waste your time and he is a straight shooter. His courtroom presence clearly shows how much judges respect him and opposing counsel is ...often intimidated by him. He is able to disarm opponents that attempt to overload and confuse judges with intentionally erroneous information. You can't do better than Stu!

Advice

I consulted with Stuart for procedural advice in a very contested custody battle with my ex-wife. The issues were long standing as we had been divorced for many years and she would file for a new custody arrangement almost every year. Stuart came highly recommended for his knowledge in such cases and... greatly helped me. Without his aide and in depth knowledge of the court system, I would have been completely lost. He took great care and time to answer questions. He was extremely prompt in returning phone calls and emails, sometimes even after hours. I highly recommend Stuart for any issues you may have in Family court matters.

Stuart's the BEST! As is the entire firm.

Stuart, in contrast to so many other lawyers out there, is a "people person" - a lawyer who cares about his clients, cares about people generally, and genuinely derives satisfaction by being able to help others suffering through circumstances of distress or personal crisis such as divorce. By combi...ning this priority with excellent legal knowledge and acumen, Stuart provides, in my opinion, the highest quality representation you will find. He is sharp, thinks creatively ("outside the box") where appropriate, is generous with his time during consultations, and, perhaps most importantly, has a calming effect. After speaking with Stuart at some length and discussing my problems, I felt substantially more at ease and more assured of myself, and of what steps I needed to be taking going forward. I arrived at his office in a state of anxiety and departed in a state of peace. I could not be happier with my choice of counsel or law firm and I would highly recommend Stuart and his staff to anyone contemplating or working their way through circumstances of a divorce. Simply the best!

Extraordinary attorney/Highest level of representation/Character/Compassion

How does one even begin to write a review for Stuart, the person who has been there for me in EVERY way throughout one of the most challenging experiences of your life? I did my research online to find Stuart. From the first phonecall he promptly made to respond to my voicemail, I knew I would wait f...or him until his schedule cleared enough to be able to represent me. At the first meeting, I knew without any doubt, I had made the right choice. Stuart is an extraordinary attorney. What I received from him was the highest possible level of legal, professional representation coming with his incredible experience, knowledge and skill. But there is another way Stuart greatly differs from other attorneys that made a huge difference in my experience. Stuart is a compassionate and very caring person. He understands what we go through psychologically and emotionally, and you will always see this in his approach. He listens to your concerns. He asks questions to gain more information to understand your needs and situation better. He then informs and educates you and brings to your attention ideas and suggestions you wouldn't otherwise think of. It will not take long after you first meet him to feel safe and secure, knowing you are in the best of hands and your best interest is protected. He seems to think of everything to benefit you, covering every detail and constantly checking on everything for you. He works very hard for you behind the scenes, yet is gentle and understanding, realizing that the process may be overwhelming to you. He is always there to respond to you and offers an amazing support and assurance. My experience could have been quite different, had I chosen a different attorney. Because of Stuart, I never felt alone and I always knew I was in the best of hands. Stuart deserves my highest recommendation for both, the professional service he provided me with, as well as for his incredible character and the quality of human being that he is.

Outstanding!!!

Although I only retained Mr. Grozbean regarding a family law case which I was brought into by another party and not directly involved with, I can't say enough about how impressed I am with his level of knowledge and his professionalism. I have had experience working with other lawyers, both during ...my own divorce and with probate issues. Mr. Grozbean is outstanding and his knowledge of family law is unsurpassed. He is very ethical and not looking to "stir up issues" to make money, which unfortunately I have witnessed with other family law attorneys. Every time I've spoken with him, I have been extremely impressed with his knowledge and understanding of the process, his ability to pinpoint the little nuances involved and his stratigic thinking, He is extremely well respected by his peers!!! When I mentioned his name to another attorney, I could tell immediately they had a high level of respect for him. He is extremely responsive, anytime I call or email he responds the same day and usually within a few hours. He does a wonderful job explaining the pros/cons of the options and how he thinks you should proceed. If you are considering a family law attorney I believe you aren't going to find better than Stu!!
