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!

First Class

Stu Grozbean is not only a superb attorney but a first-class gentlemen. Stu came to my rescue when I realized my first lawyer was in over her head. My ex-spouse spent seven years in case development with what I consider a sub-par firm. Stu came in and took control. Stu brought in high-caliber pro...fessionals that were no match for what opposing counsel could produce. Stu possesses an unsurpassed knowledge of famil law, is held in high esteem by judges and masters and will calculate opposig counsel's stragety before they make their move. He is very generous with his time and available 24/7. He understands the emotional and psychological mess of divorce and was supportive throughout the entire process. He has a sharp sense of humor, "does not blink" and will not be intimidated. He gave me great strength over three years of unwinding my marriage. I am extremely grateful to everyone on his excellent team. With Stu I have peace of mind, security and a suberb outcome. You'll go first class when you select Stu!

Great knowledge and experience, a true professional

Stuart has vast experience and in-depth knowledge of the law. In handling my divorce case, he patiently and thoroughly explained various available options and helped me pick the right one. I, like many people who go through messy divorces, was an emotional wreck and Stuart and his staff were always... caring and extremely understanding, always ready to lend an ear when you needed one. Most importantly he was always accessible, took my calls if he was at the office and available, and promptly returned my calls every time if he was not. He knows his craft so well that some of the outcomes he predicted have actually come true! I highly recommend Stuart Grozbean and his firm.

One Top Notch Attorney!

For anyone going through a divorce Mr. Stu Grozbean is the answer. Within minutes of my consultation with Mr. Grozbean in 2010 I knew right away he would be my attorney. He was very engaging and personable. One great characteristic I admire is his honesty and confidence that he will do everything ...in his power to fight for the best interest of his client. My case was a bit complex as my divorce was finalized in 2011. Little did I know that this case would reopen five years later. Without a doubt, Stu came to mind. Of course, Stu was familiar with the case and was eager to work up a mastermind strategy. My case has been a total nightmare I would not wish on anyone. There are just not enough words to express my gratitude for Mr. Grozbean, however Stu helped to soothe my worries with his funny sense of humor on several occasions and still remained focused on my case. Stuart Grozbean is definitely one Top Notch attorney! I highly recommend this attorney to anyone seeking a divorce attorney-He WILL fight for his client. Our lives as a family unit has changed dramatically in such a positive way and we will be FOREVER grateful for everything he has done.

Thank You Stu Grozbean

I am so thankful to Stu Grozbean. Stu was the ONLY attorney that was easily accessible and responded to me immediately. He humanized a legal world - a world I was loosing faith in the divorce legal community. Stu consulted with me during a time of crisis in my legal divorce case. He slowly and th...oughtfully helped me sort out an action plan for moving forward. He helped me understand my choices moving forward in a simple, matter of fact manner -- and with compassion. During one of the darkest weekends of my life, Stu helped me climb out of what I thought was an impossible situation. That may sound dramatic, but it was dramatic and very traumatic moment in my life, and this man stepped up and just helped because is a Good person and because he knows his material. His understanding of the law, how to work with it, and how to handle relationships in the legal community gave me hope and, most importantly, gave me actual choices to pursue during a time when I thought my choices were gone. My advice. Just start with Stu Grozbean if you need an accessible, strategic, savvy, kind human being to help you get through the complexity and pain of a divorce.

Domestic situations are extremely stressful and client's need to know that we are there to lend an ear and appreciate the stress they are under. I often remind client's that is not about the lawyer, but the individual client and their particular needs.
