Working with Stu Grozbean and his team, Jaime, Joe, and Charlotte was such a positive experience while going through a painful time in my life a divorce. The team was with me during the entire process. Stu and his team answered all my calls and questions immediately making me feel like I was their only client. The entire team is intelligent, strategic, compassionate yet aggressive. Stu was on vacation during my last hearing and to my surprise both Stu and Jaime were there. My anxiety always eased when I saw the two of them. I can’t say enough or thank them enough for everything they have done for me. I am forever grateful to this team because of Stu’s forty plus years’ experience, expertise, intelligence, strategic mind, and respect in the law community I can live happily ever after divorce. This team made my ending a beautiful beginning.

Stu Grozbean helped me resolve a complicated issue with Maryland's government agency that collects child support and alimony. His personal and professional reputation with key leaders in the agency and family law courts made all of the difference in resolving my case. Most important to me is that Stu was available to me whenever we needed to speak, whether that be 8pm on a Friday night or 7am on a Saturday morning. Stu is a HIGHLY responsive professional, answering calls, immediately returning calls, and reaching out with updates. With Stu, I knew I was in the hands of someone who puts his clients first and treats my issues with the sense of importance and urgency that I treat them. A consummate professional.

First and foremost thank you Charlotte for taking my call with care and grace. Mr. Grozbean thank you for your patience, candor, and sharing your many years of experience.

I hired Stu Grozbean to handle a case where the mother wanted to leave the state. If she had won, then I would not have seen my grandkids again because she remarried and tried to alienate the kids from me. Stu was aggressive and won our case. He even got attorney’s fees from my ex-daughter in law. I will tell you Stu was always available, even at night and on weekends. I highly recommend.

Bell, Weil & Grozbean are absolutely the most strategic law firm I've ever used! Their expertise and efficiency is unmatched!

Stuart Grozbean has been my personal and business attorney for over 25 years. He has never let me down and I highly recommend him. I can call him anytime day or night and he will get back to me in a timely fashion. Provides me solid practical advice, some which I may not want to hear, but always my best interested are placed first. If a matter we need to address is not in Stu's wheelhouse he will find me an associate who can handle the matter and then oversea the process to completion.

Stu has been more than our family law attorney over the last 8 years… he has been a guiding and mentoring force through every situation or circumstance that we’ve needed legal counsel. We can honestly say he performs his legal duties caring more for us as people than for our pockets. He is a strong, firm attorney when needed and has provided our family with the right counsel at every turn.

When I first met Stu Grozbean, I was a stay at home Mom with two young children stuck in an abusive marriage. Just having recovered from breast cancer, I was facing another incredibly difficult battle. Stu was there for me from the beginning to the end, and then even six years later when revisions had to be made to our agreement. Stu took care of me and my children......he made sure we were protected and got what was rightfully ours. My divorce had to be handled long distance, and he made everything as easy as it could possibly be. He is a good, caring man and there is no more knowledgeable and determined attorney to be had! He is also someone that I like to still be in touch with just because he is such a good man! Thanks to Stu, I have my life back and am extremely happily married. You can't trust just anyone when it comes to something this big. I'd never call anyone else!

Attorney Grozbean is the most perceptive and intelligent lawyers I have ever met. He understands the angles of my legal issues and charted a path to success each time! He spends the time I needed, and bills reasonably.

Lindsay is a compassionate person by nature and that quality is exemplified in her approach in practicing family law. Lindsay and her team helped me get through the daunting divorce process with dignity and grace. Lindsay knows when to "turn on and off" the fierce, especially with respect to the opposing counsel in my case. Thank you Lindsay and Team!

Alex and his firm helped me with my third party custody case where I needed to gain De Facto Parentage. With myself being the third party and up against the child’s biological parents. The outcome was fantastic and I was up to speed on everything happening the whole way, along with the guidance on what exactly to do! The whole firm was always there and responding super quickly to any and all questions I had. Alex himself is an amazing person and does what’s right! If you’re looking for a lawyer this is the place to go!

I'll forever regret my decision to hire Barbara Jorgensen as my divorce attorney. I am still suffering from the repercussions. My divorce should have been simple. My ex had a warrant out for his arrest due to a crime against a neighbor. He also had priors and had engaged in many actions causing great risk to me. I'd just been diagnosed with lifelong critical illness but this was pushed into taking on the impossible. The economy had collapsed and the property (that the ex was afraid to go near) was severely upside down in value. He wasn't contributing towards the property payments, and left me with an unmanageable number of expenses that were his responsibility. Barbara Jorgensen ignored all of these circumstances. She even told me that types of support other divorcees were successfully arranging did "not exist" and that his crimes and lack of financial contributions were somehow irrelevant to his demands for money that did not exist. While she may have advocated for her clients back in 1985, both her skills and focus were very outdated decades later. She was often outright condescending towards me as her client and kept confusing my account for another client's who was delinquent in payments. She also told me I had no choice but to continue with tasks and expenses for superfluous actions from my ex's attorney whereas in reality I could have walled away or ignored most of it. It was well known that the mess drained my savings and left me in a literal long-term trap. As a final display of not caring about her clients, she even sent a disruptive and embarrassing younger attorney to court the day my ridiculous divorce agreement was filed. I was leery of most of her decisions but was going off of Washingtonian Magazine's endorsements. This is not an attorney who will advise to your benefit. This is the type of lawyer who still believes that attorneys are automatically respected and assumed to be brilliant, thereby giving them the ability to make up rules and advice that their clients won't question. This may have been the case in 1985 but certainly wasn't by then. With the immature JGL junior attorney solidifying my overall impression, I've steered friends and colleagues away from this firm ever since.
