Best lawyer in Town

I couldn't have hired a better attorney. I was in a very toxic and abusive marriage. Stuart helped me navigate out of it smoothly even though emotions for myself and my children were very high. It was a very traumatic and emotional time for all of us and if it wasn't for Stuart's legal protectio...n and wonderful advice during the process I don't know if I could have made it through.

Committed Family Law Attorney

Stuart came highly recommended by a close family member. I had been dealing with a very unstable ex husband who had been harrassing my family and I for several years. Before I met Stuart I was scared. I was worried for the safety of my son whom my ex hadn't attempted to see in over 3 years. Stuart wa...s tough and helped me find my inner strength to fight for the safety of my son and I. He did everything he could to get the case settled before it went to trial and was successful. My son and I are now protected and safe and we couldn't have done it without the guidance of Stuart Brown.

A Perfect Choice

Stuart was the perfect choice for me in completing my divorce. I have small children and from the beginning it was a priority for me to complete the divorce in the most amicable way possible. Stuart was able to help me through the process step by step, advise me of the requirements, support my choice...s and tailor those choices so they were legally appropriate, respectfully manage a very emotional charged situation at times and lay out all my options so I could make the best decisions for my family. He answers calls immediately when he can and quickly if he is not immediately available. He understands family law and exudes confidence (with the experience to back it up) that is quite remarkable. He was the perfect choice for me and I highly recommend him as a smart, hard working and compassionate attorney (which is extremely difficult to find).

You would take a tour through hell with a dummy, would you?

Stuart Brown was recommended to me though a person who works in another part of the legal system. After hearing the name of the firm I was about to hire, he laughed and told me to put my money back in my pocket and call Stuart. I did just that and I've never looked back. My divorce will be signed an...d final tomorrow morning, less than 20 hours away now and, although I've never been in prison, I can relate, now, to that feeling of getting out. I must say, this IS the most stressful thing I've ever gone through in life and I've been through a lot. I am (was) up against someone who ate, slept, and breathed "entitlement" and was very nervous about filing for divorce with four children as a father. I had read almost everything on the topic on the internet, books, free-advice sites. I was nervous. Stu immediately told me to stop looking at that crap. I was in hell. I have four small children and made it clear to him that those are THE most important issues in this. The house and cars are all second to that and he made it so. I am now less than 20 hours away from having my 4 kids at LEAST 1/2 the time, ended up with a bit more of a settlement than I expected, and didn't go broke in the process. I view Stu as a friend, leader, excellent guide through this and someone who has navigated this twisted system for years. You do not want to be the opposing party, trust me. I highly recommend Stu for any family law issues you are facing. If and when issues arise in the future, you better bet I'm calling him first thing. Thank you Stuart for all you've done. You've made me believe in attorneys again and were the best guide "through hell" one could ask for.

Outstanding Attorney

Stuart Brown stepped in to represent me towards the end of a long, contentious divorce. He had little time to prepare for the trial date but he was amazing in his ability to quickly analyze the case and get his ducks in a row. Stuart Brown is a dedicated advocate. He worked tirelessly on my case... and listened to my representation needs while maintaining integrity and respect with opposing counsel and the court. However, Stuart acts quickly with court action, if needed. Stuart is an excellent time manager and is more than fair with billing and accounting. He is direct, honest and ethical; always promoting a sense of trust. He kept me in the loop and is a good team player. I recommend Stuart Brown unreservedly. Don't wait; give him a call now and you will soon feel less alone with your family law burden.
