About:
I'm Brian J. Stone. I was born in Tangier, Morocco, and raised in a family that valued travel and cultural experiences, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity and a broad worldview. After serving eight years in the U.S. Army, including a deployment to Iraq, I pursued a college education and eventually a career in law with the intent of making a meaningful impact by helping people through strong legal advocacy. My military background has profoundly influenced my approach to legal practice. I am committed to being veteran-friendly, LGBTQ-friendly, and providing inclusive services to all clients, regardless of sex, race, or background. I believe in treating everyone with fairness and respect, ensuring that all clients feel valued and supported throughout their legal journey. As an experienced attorney in New Hampshire, I handle all criminal cases, with substantial experience in DUI cases, domestic violence cases in the district division, and felony cases in the superior courts. Additionally, I have handled multiple child abuse and neglect proceedings, child custody cases, and divorces in the family division, offering comprehensive services for families navigating complex legal issues. I am passionate about providing my clients with high-quality legal representation at a reduced cost, without sacrificing the personal attention each case deserves. By keeping my practice mobile and flexible, I can meet the needs of my clients wherever they are, using a variety of platforms such as Microsoft Teams, phone, Zoom, and in-person meetings when necessary. For the convenience of my clients, they never need to see me in person unless we’re at court, allowing them to focus on their lives while I handle their legal matters. My approach allows me to stay accessible and responsive, ensuring that my clients receive the support they need when they need it. I understand that legal challenges can arise unexpectedly, so I make myself available to my clients 24/7. While

"Divorce is a very difficult thing to go through emotionally and financially. Having Michael Ortlieb as my attorney (and his team) was the best decision I could have made. I had spoken with several attorneys before Michael and didn’t feel good about any of them. I felt that all they cared about were the financial gains. After speaking with Michael, I knew he’d be the right fit for me. He listened. He was kind, genuine and patient. He truly had my best interests at heart emotionally and financially. He helped me make the best decisions and still respected my wishes throughout the whole process. I can’t thank him enough for how patient, meticulous, organized, prompt and heartfelt he was. I highly recommend him. Thank you Michael and thank you to your team for making such a difficult time easier. Forever grateful."

"I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience working with Michael. He took on my very high-conflict case and assured me I had a strong basis to file for contempt. He advised me to pursue counseling with the other party even while acknowledging it would probably not work long term — as a way to strengthen my case. I trusted his guidance and followed through, even when I was skeptical of the approach. Just weeks later, I received an email stating he would no longer be practicing family law and was terminating me as a client. This was especially upsetting because he had assured me he would speak at my upcoming hearing. At the very least, I expected him to honor that commitment and see my case through in good faith. Instead, my family and I are left in a worse position than before. I cannot recommend him, and my experience has been extremely disappointing."

"Michael is one of those rare divorce attorneys who isn’t in it to bleed you dry, drag things out, or get you worked up just to keep the fight going. He understood that my priority was getting out of my marriage, and he got a settlement done during a period when things felt completely stuck. He’s a mission-focused attorney who goes the full distance for a fair rate, and he always showed patience with the emotional side of the process. I’m grateful for his help and know I couldn’t have gotten the closure I needed without him."
