Highly recommend Stuart Grozbean

I used Stuart for drawing up my separation agreement and for filing for my divorce. Stuart was excellent in every aspect. He was flexible and available for appointments, he answered all questions either by phone or e-mail within a timely manner, he was caring and responsive to all needs, and he exp...lained and provided information to keep me comfortable and informed. I would highly recommend Stuart for those looking for a divorce attorney. I was extremely happy with my experience.

Superb Attorney

Stuart Grozbean provided me with top-notch advice, support, and legal prowess throughout my entire separation and divorce. He ensured that I understood all the options available to me throughout a particularly difficult custody battle for my 4 children, one with special needs. He went above and beyon...d to get to know me so that he could provide the legal necessities to secure my rights as a father and my children's best interests. His preparedness for the hearing was superb - the arsenal of legal knowledge that he brought to bear - he was ready for everything the other side had. Most importantly, throughout the entire experience - he followed up with me to make sure that my and my children's well being were first and foremost.

Replied last March 29, 2011

Since Brian wrote his review the Court has awarded him sole legal custody of his minor son who has special needs. This could never have happened without the dedication of a father who truly loves his children and the fortitude to fight in the legal system for the best interest of his children.

Great lawyer, wish I had hired him first!

I was very pleased with the service I received from Mr. Grozbean. He hung in there through a lengthy and often bizarre divorce. I wish I had hired him first, I think my divorce would have been over much more quickly. I recommend Mr. Grozbean. He is ruthless when he has to be but is very compassionate... to the plight of his clients. He is very knowledgeable and his contacts are invaluable. He stayed during a very long mediation despite being very ill. He is dedicated and will do what it takes to help his clients.

The Best Divorce/Separation/Child Custody Attorney in the Washington, Baltimore, and DC Area!

Mr. Stu Grozbean is the best Divorce/Separation/Child Custody attorney in the Washington, Baltimore, and DC area in town! He represented me in a nasty divorce/separation/child custody case. I fired my first attorney because she was not on top of her game and was not doing her job. I called Mr. Grozbe...an and spoke with him directly for about an hour (no fee charged) and we discussed the highlights of my case. Based on that first conversation with Mr. Grozbean I knew I was going to hire him. I had already interviewed about 10 attorneys. I was not going to make the same mistake selecting an inexperience attorney like I did the first time. Mr. Grozbean is “WELL” experience, very knowledgeable, and is current on the laws and rulings of cases dealing with divorce/separation/child custody! What impressed me the most with Mr. Grozbean as my attorney is the fact he was very responsive to all forms of communication (you will hear back from him within 24 hours of leaving a message for him) and you talked with him directly. You don’t get a phone call from a legal assistance; you talk directly with Mr. Grozbean. He knew every aspect, detail, and status of my case every time I talked with him. Also I felt I can “TRUST” him 100%. It was not about him making money; it was always about us winning my case! In summary, Mr. Grozbean is a very caring and passionate attorney! When he step into the court room, he has studied your case, researched the facts/laws, discussed his finding and approach with you (so you are not surprised in the court room), give you his honest opinion/recommendations, identified several strategies to represent you (based of his research of the opponent attorney), and most importantly, he is not afraid to fight a battle with the opponent attorney. Because Mr. Grozbean is an “EXCELLENT” Divorce/Separation/Child Custody attorney, I was able to keep 100% of my military retirement and I won every request/demand I requested in my divorce and child custody settlement from my ex-husband. Also, Mr. Grozbean continues to be only a “phone call” away for any advice I need even though it has been six years since I first met him and he represented me during two cases. He is by far, the best Divorce/Separation/Child Custody attorney in town! Signed, Linda

Posted by Charles | February 18, 2010 | Child Support

Child Support Modification Attorney of Record

Mr. Grozbean has continually provided my defense against a constantly offensive ex-spouse. His efforts replaced my excessively high payments with those that were fair and consistent with the child support guidelines. In addition, Mr. Grozbean has provided invaluable counsel regarding my appropriate r...esponse to the hostility from my children which was engendered by my ex-spouse. He has gone the extra mile in providing continuing services even during my unemployment when compensation would have been a hardship. With lifelong thanks and great recommendation for a great attorney.
