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!!

Outstanding Services

I hired Stuart on a recommendation from another attorney after a very contentious divorce. Unfortunately I needed Stuart to file a contempt motion against my ex husband who decided not to fulfill his obligations in accordance with our Marital Settlement Agreement. Stuart was logical, knowledgeable,... responsive and won our case even though my ex tried to drag it out and bring up damaging, irrelevant personal information about me. Stuart kept the case on track and did not take the bait dragging us into unnecessary litigation. He was great about returning my phone calls and his fees were more than fair. Most importantly, I received an even better outcome than I had expected in the final ruling. He was professional in every regard and I would highly recommend his services.

Not like other lawyers.....This man has integeraty

When you hear the word Lawyer nice things do not always come to mind...you think of the money they will make running up your bill, you think of all the calls that go unanswered by staff that do not care or who are nasty and give you the run around. To some lawyers and staff your case is just another ...case and a way they make money. Most lawyers have no honor or integrity and use every legal means to drag your case out. Is this how you are feeling, I know I use to. If you are reading this your are wondering about Stuart House...WONDER NO MORE!! Mr. House is a lawyer with high integrity. He fights your case like you were part of his own family. You are a priority to him as I found out as a man going for custody of my daughter. In my case he fought for my daughter and won as if she were his own daughter he was fighting for. He is a lawyer who believes in fairness, and being the best educated in his craft. He knows how to move your case along as best as possible in today's legal system making it a priority, in turn saving you money and time. His staff actually cares and helps when you call. Now when I think of Layer I think of Mr. House, a lawyer/man who has your back through hard times. A lawyer with honor, integrity, and the determination and education you need to win!! WONDER NO MORE, YOU JUST FOUND YOUR LAWYER...call him he will help!!

Best Attorney in Broward

Stuart has been my attorney since September of 2013, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He has gone above and beyond to help fight what is right for my child. He is very straight forward and gives the best advice, Stuart also is also a very knowledgeable attorney. Stuart is a very understa...nding man, has compassion and really takes pride in his cases, he has done such a great job in my divorce case, and I couldn't be any happier. Awesome attorney If I would ever need another attorney, his number would be the first one I call!

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.
