Success!

This is my heartfelt review for my attorney Mr. Stuart House who successfully represented me for my divorce case. I would like to highlight Stuart's exceptional legal skills, including his ability to outsmart opposing counsel, which led the opposing party to change attorneys multiple times. Stuart's ...kindness, empathy, and supportive presence during difficult moments, as well as his honest and transparent billing practices, provided a peace of mind and a sense of security. Additionally, I would like to mention the professionalism of his paralegal, Debbie, who not only provided timely communication, but also emotional support, and became my great friend throughout the process. I am currently celebrating the favorable outcomes of my case, particularly the my award of 50% of the marital portion of my ex-husband's firefighter pension. This benefit I will receive monthly for the rest of his life. My ex-husband assumed all the marital debt and he did not gain access to my retirement accounts . My overall satisfaction with the results should urge others to seek Stuart's services.

Family Attorney

A friend of mine recommended Stuart when she heard the father of my child was trying to change our current parenting plan. She told me she had gone through various lawyers before him and that he was the best she's seen. I must say that I am beyond thankful that Stuart was able to get me the best outc...ome! He is very knowledgeable and has years of experience which shows through his professional yet fierce demeanor in the courtroom. His passion for law is also evident as he fights for the best for his clients. His understanding and interpretation of the law are exceptional. He was always prepared and one step ahead of our opposing counsel. As far as client treatment goes, he kept me well appraised every step of the way and answered all my questions. His assistant Debbie is a sweetheart. Always polite and helpful. I had questions and concerns and she always took the time to make sure they were answered. They make an amazing team. I highly recommend him he is worth every penny!!

Consummate Professional Stuart House

I was very pleased with Stuart House. I was involved in a messy divorce. Stuart was compassionate, intelligent, and understanding. He specified on day 1, what i should and should not expect to receive/win in a divorce case. I laid out very specific goals for him so that we could expedite my case..., as well as minimize my expenses. I was eager to move on with my life and with his help, I am now able to.

Detail oriented & thoughtful!

Stuart did an amazing job getting my divorce filed and finalized in a very quick time period. The whole process took about 3 months and everything was settled exactly how I wanted it to be. He is well prepared and always answers the phone when you need him to answer any questions. I highly recommend ...him.

Highly recommend

Stuart House has been amazing through the case and very understanding. He explains the terminology of the law in ways you can understand. He gives you the proper resources to learn how the law works. Genuinely cares and wants the best outcome for you. He knows the law and his confidence in the court... room shows in his results. I would recommend him to anyone. He is the best and honestly I wouldn’t choose anyone else. Lastly I want to thank Stuart and Debbie for all of their help and knowledge through the case.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Stuart is an outstanding family law attorney. He is an awesome advocate whether in the Courtroom, where, by the way, he is extremely quick on his feet, or in mediation, where his negotiation skills are excellent. When opposing Stuart I always need to be at 110% because he is always, always, looking for an angle to gain an advantage for his client. He is a very serious opponent and he does this with absolute integrity. Stuart is down to earth and simply stated, a solid individual. He is well respected by our family judges and the family law bar. I would recommend Stuart to a family member with zero reservations. He, in my humble opinion, is a top shelf family law attorney. Hiring Stuart to handle your family law matter when your world is spinning will be an excellent decision in your attempt to regain a sense of emotional control in the turmoil of divorce.
