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.

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.

Four years ago, after consulting multiple other Attorneys seeking legal representation in a family case, I chose Stuart House/Broward Divorce Law. After 4 years of service involving multiple types of family cases, I can say that I could not have made a better choice. You just cannot question Stuart’s commendable skills and knowledge when it comes to the parts of the law that he practices. His law savviness was on full display in every single hearing/trial. Highly recommended!

Stuart and his team are professional, honest, genuine and absolutely one of the best attorney's I know who handled my custody case. This was a easy process because Stuart and his team made it so comfortable for me. My case just closed and Stuart fought so hard, I got everything I needed and wanted. A good attorney is a fighter and Stuart is a fighter. He is dedicated to not only you as a client, but especially the children involved. I highly recommend Stuart.

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.

My words alone cannot do Stuart House and his firm justice. I give 5 stars and the utmost respect and recommendation for his services. Before I met Stuart, my previous lawyer laughed in my face and told me no judge would give me what I was looking for in my custody case. Other lawyers I consulted with said it was either go to court (and probably lose) or just settle with the cards I was dealt in mediation (which was a crap deal). I was at the point of giving up all hope. I'm not the usual case. I'm a man who has been solely raising my 5 year old the last 4 years and my rights were being threatened. Once Stuart took over my case, everything changed. He was aggressive and turned the tables around on everyone involved. Not only did I not not end up going to court, but I got every thing I wanted for me and my son. Thank you, Stuart I am forever grateful.
