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.

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.

Unparalleled Lawyer

Bottom line, you will not find a lawyer who will work harder, longer or more zealously for you. Stuart Brown took my case and turned it around in very short order. He is the guy you want to have on your team in a street fight (which is an accurate metaphor for divorce court). When looking for a la...wyer, you want someone who will aggressively fight for you, who has the experience to guide you through the complex web of divorce and who will tell you what not to do. Stuart does all that and more. I had been falsely accused of DV and child abuse; had lost all access to my children and my wife was on her way out of the state when Stuart took over my case. Immediately my wife’s string of court victories came to an abrupt halt. Stuart guided me on how best to fight the baseless accusations and for the first time I had a clear map of how to proceed. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have found Stuart. Like others have said, he does not nickel and dime you and is more than fair on his billing. My opinion is that his value is worth twice his billed rate! Stuart is respectful, genuine, ethical and knowledgeable. He doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff and his attitude empowers you personally. Above all he is available to you. He answers his phone and emails quickly and knows when to give succinct advice and when to offer words of comfort and support. Do yourself a favor, stop looking and give Stuart a call. It will be one of the best decisions of your life!

Top attorney

Mr. Brown is a first class attorney. His experience, knowledge, and professionalism may be equaled by other attorneys, but in our opinion cannot be surpassed. The case we were involved in was highly contentious and the opposing party has been historically very difficult to work/deal with. Mr. Br...own immediately put her on the defensive, let her know that he was aggressive, and was not going to put up with any of her tactics. Through his insight and strategy, our son received custody of his child, decision making, and child support. Mr. Brown is honest with his clients, is fair in his fees, represents them to the point that he will get the best results for them, and gives sound advice. Our only regret was that we did not have Mr. Brown representing our son earlier.
