Divorce Fail

I hired Mr. Axilbund based on his reviews on this site AVVO. Mr. Axilbund convinced me that it would be in my best interest not to contest the demands my now ex-husband had as it would be "cheaper" not to fight him. I went along because my lawyer advised me to... big mistake. The ENTIRE divorce ag...reement benefits my ex-husband. It now feels as if Mr. Axilbund was on "team ex-husband" and not on his client's team. My divorce agreement is still haunting me 3 years later because of the demands I agreed to. I do not recommend Mr. Axilbund at all.

A++

I can't thank Stuart enough for his help during what at first seemed to be an amicable divorce, that later turned out to be difficult and challenging. His knowledge and experience of the law eased my stress and anxiety throughout the process and instilled a great amount of trust. Throughout I was a...lways well informed, my phone calls promptly returned and all my questions and concerns were addressed. I was extremely satisfied with my representation and the counsel I received. Stuart was worth every penny I paid him! That said, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Stuart C. Axilbund for his legal expertise, to anyone who wants a qualified attorney who will watch out for your interest, who can be though when necessary, but who is also understanding and compassionate. Great Attorney!

Highly Recommended

I have already recommended Stuart multiple times already since my 2018 divorce. I found Stuart to be extremely responsive to all my communications. He provided sound advice for my situation, and his years of experience and expertise were obvious. Of equal importance, he was also a good steward of my ...funds, not allowing our case to go down roads that would not have had beneficial results. I am truly appreciative of all he did to guide me through what was an extremely emotional and difficult process. I would recommend him without reservation.

The Best Attorney in Towon and a great person that understand your concerns.

Stuart has handled my case twice and has always been very professional and understand all concerns that I had as a father. One of the best things that I happened to me was during the most difficult time of my life was that I hired Stuart as my attorney. It makes a huge difference if you have an attor...ney that not only understands the law but also understand the situation you are in and advices for the best probable outcome. Stuart is always prepared and takes care of all things (no matter how small they are for your case). I would recommend to hire Stuart if you going through a divorce or child custody matters. That is one thing that will surely help you during this difficult time of yours. Thank you Stuart for all you have done for me.

"Stuart is one of my "go to" family lawyers - clients always indicate that he is helpful, nice (despite the client's condition - usually going through a tough divorce), responsive, and gives excellent advice. Stuart is always upbeat and in good spirits, despite practicing in this area - which in my view is the hardest legal area to practice in. I recommend him unconditionally. / mike oliver"

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
