A Super Lawyer When You Need One!

As I am sure you can imagine, the process of divorce is a confusing, life-altering, and extremely painful experience - especially when children are involved (I have two beautiful twin girls). When the dark clouds of divorce descended upon me, I was devastated and had to absorb not only the painful l...oss of my wife taking our children away, and the end of our marriage, but also of her callous and mean-spirited attorney, who had no interest in settling the case - which would have been best for all involved (especially our children) considering that I was with my wife for over 20 years. Having nowhere to turn, and with limited resources, I was fortunate to walk into the offices of Stu Grozbean, who informed me in great detail as to the divorce process, and what I needed to do to preserve my rights in remaining an integral part of my daughters' lives. Needless to say, Stu was brilliant not only in trying to honor my wishes to settle, but also in meticulously preparing for trial when my wife's lawyer compelled her not to do so. Stu was a master in the courtroom, and preserved my ability to remain an integral part of my daughters' lives - even doing so in a cost-effective manner. If the clouds of divorce ever descend upon you (and I pray that they do not), you must seek out Stu Grozbean. Simply put, and I take these reviews seriously, Stu is the best!!!

Great, No Nonsense, Legal Representation!

Mr. Grozbean is an extremely knowledgeable, personable, no nonsense lawyer. (He always introduces himself as Stu, by the way) He kept me involved in all decisions and, at all junctions, provided no nonsense explanations for my legal options. When working with Mr. Grozbean, you always feel that he ...cares not only about doing a good job but also about you. He follows up with you personally to ensure that everything was taken care of and that you're OK. I always leave a discussion with Mr. Grozbean confident that I've received the best advice possible from a profession who really cares about his work and clients. Mr. Grozbean clearly knows his way around the legal system and knows "everyone" as was obvious when we walked through the courthouse and he was greeted by admins, clerks and fellow lawyers! Therefore, I've recommended Mr. Grozbean to many people and, because he is such a professional and knows "everyone," he has even recommended other lawyers when he could not take a case. I recently phoned Mr. Grozbean's office to get a copy of my divorce judgement which was finalized over 6 years ago. Instead of having an assistant send me a copy, Mr. Grozbean personally got on the phone, got the copy for me (in a minute or so) and e-mailed it to me. He also took the time to speak with me about my kids and gave some advice on a couple of legal issues that I had going on at the time. As always, he was personable and supportive and I left the conversation confident that I had received the best support available. So, if you want a great, non nonsense lawyer who knows his way around the legal system and will provide you the best, informed, representation possible, you must call Stuart Grozbean.

Best lawyer I have ever had

Extremely efficient and yet not greedy -- a rare combination one can only dream of when looking for a lawyer. That dream unexpectedly came true when I hired Mr. Grozbean to work for me as my divorce attorney. Attentive, knowledgeable and meticulous in every detail with me, charming with the judge, re...lentless yet chivalrous with a female lawyer of my ex-wife, he successfully guided me through a very unpleasant process of divorce to a complete satisfaction of all parties involved. I can only repeat the title of my review: Best lawyer I have ever had!

My Lawyer for Life

I have had the pleasure of knowing Stuart Grozbean since 2001 when he accepted to represent me in a very difficult and contentuois divorce. I work with a lot of attorneys in my job and I asked them if they were going through a nasty divorce who would you get as an attorney and five out of eight said ...Stuart Grozbean. My ex attempted to take me to the bank even though she left me for another man. Stuart was able to secure my full retirement, my residence, my summer home and 50% custody of my child. Stuart told me up front I would be hit with a substantial child support payment because of my income but he would fight to the death to preserve all I have worked for,and he did fight like a spartan gladiator in court. Recently (2011) I was served with modification orders by my Ex trying to get an incease in child support and to pay child support until my now 18 year old child reaches 19 years of age. Stuart agin accepted to represent me in this matter. Although Stuart"s fees are not cheep, he is the most expeirenced, knowlegable and outright bulldog in the court room that I have ever seen( better than Jonny Cochrin). He is relentless in his representation skills to ensure you get your moneys worth. Stuart you are my Lawyer for Life. Thanks for all you have done for me and being my legal advisor through all I have been through.

Mr. Grozbean is not SUPERMAN, BUT HE SURE IS A SUPER LAWER!!!

If you ever need to go to Divorce court, you will need and wish you had ONE OF THE BEST DIVORCE LAWYERS IN THE WORLD representing you. You will also need a lawyer who is highly respected by his peers, the court system (Judges, mediators, opposing lawyers, etc.) . What that means, is when Mr. Grozb...ean talks in your behalf Judges, Mediators, and even the opposing Lawyers listen. Why – because Mr. Grozbean peers in the court system (Judges, Mediators, opposing Counsel) know that Mr. Grozbean KNOWS THE LAW inside and out. EXAMPLE: Mr. Grozbean developed the Child Support guidelines for the state of Maryland that the courts (his peers) use. Mr. Grozbean has been doing divorce law MANY YEARS (VERY EXPERIENCED). This is the type of Divorce lawyer one walks into divorce court by his side. When you walk in the Divorce court system with Mr. Grozbean, that is not a fashion statement; It is a proclamation that this is my life and is serious business that needs to be handled professionally by one of the best lawyers not in the state of Maryland, but in the World. Let’s flash back to my divorce drama in 2010-2011. It was the great financial divorce drama of2010- 2011; a financial nightmare of a divorce. I had 14 objectives that was important to me (Mr. Grozbean helped me define these in our meetings) Mr .Grozbean used his PROFESSIONAL LEGAL, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and INFLUENCE to work on my behalf to ACCOMPLISH 14 OF 14 OBJECTIVES that we defined as being important in my divorce(some of these objectives seemed impossible at the start). Hopefully your outcome will be as good as mine (14 objectives; 14 objectives achieved), then you to will be saying, ‘MR. GROZBEAN IS IN THE TOP 5% OF DIVORCE LAWYERS, NOT IN MARYLAND, BUT IN THE WORLD’. When at the start, of the day my divorce proceedings looked like a tangled financial drama of a nightmare. At the end of the day Mr. Grozbean did the following for me: saved me A LOT OF MONEY!!! ACHIEVED 14 of 14 OBJECTIVES and all my DIVORCE BUSINESS WAS 100% FINALIZED (no lose ends to haunt me years later). Mr. Grozbean is not SUPERMAN, BUT HE SURE IS A SUPER LAWER!!! And !!!
