Best lawyer in the area !

As soon as I contacted about taking on my case he put my mind at ease. He was clear with me about his plans to help me get my charges , dui and possession , dropped. He went above and beyond for me , the results were even better than I could have ever expected! I hope I never need his services again ...but if I do or anyone else I know does , Kevin Stewart will be my only recommendation

Outstanding

Mr. Stewart's hard work, dedication, commitment, honesty, and perseverance throughout my whole legal process was second to none. He stood beside me and guided me through this challenging time of my life. I told him the outcome I wanted in my case and he delivered it 100%. Kevin handled everything wit...h professionalism, but even more importantly took a personal interest in the best outcome possible for my case. Throughout the process I felt like he was not only my legal counsel but also a friend who wanted and fought for what was best for me. I will forever be grateful to him for the job he did. I highly recommend Kevin for anyone who needs legal representation or counsel and will continue to put my trust in him shall any more legal needs arise. Again, he delivered on the best outcome in my case, which is exactly what I told him in my initial consultation.

Great Lawyer, Bad Situation

Let me start by saying Kevin Stewart did me an my ex-wife's family a favor by handling our divorce. He is not a divorce attorney by trade but agreed to help me file and do what I needed to as I had no clue. He was very nice and respectable and did everything he could to help me get through a thing ...such as tragic as divorce. Even though it didn't turn out to be quite so amicable as I had hoped he took care of everything and even helped me to keep my emotions in check so that I didn't do anything to hastily. Mind you a vindictive ex and ex-father in-law can really put a hurting on your emotions. But he kept me focused and us on task. All in all I would love to meet this guy at a barbeque, but I would hate to meet him on the opposite side of me in the court room. Glad he was in my corner. Thanks Kevin

Better than the rest!

Kevin Stewart is a phenomenal attorney as well as an upstanding person. Through the entire process, Mr. Stewart was professional and was fully aware of the situation, circumstances, and the possible outcomes. Kevin Stewart was very down-to-earth and very personable while walking me through the entire... process. I felt as if I was literally, one of his family members. Anyone that solicits his sevices will be getting the best overall representation as well as legal team; starting with the lovely secretary, Barbara. Thank You Kevin Stewart and thank you Victor Carmody Law firm.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Stewart is a lawyer of high skill and a true sense of right and wrong. By way of illustration, I had an Apache helicopter pilot who came to me because his medical certificate was going to be pulled for an apparent DUI conviction in MS. The troubling part of it was that he was deployed defending us overseas in an active war zone when the state of MS found him guilty. It was clearly identity theft as he could not be thousands of miles away flying a heavily laden multi-million dollar attack helicopter and driving in the state of MS at the same time. I, being in Pennsylvania, was getting no where. I made a phone call to Attorney Stewart. He took to the case using all of his professional knowledge, reputation and experience to right the clear wrong. The serviceman was not only exonerated but was cleared for further duty, was able to keep his commission and was deployed overseas to fight the important war on terror. All due to Attorney Stewart."

"Kevin exemplifies knowledge, integrity, and leadership in the area of DUI and criminal defense. He gratefully assisted in training me as I was coming through law school and clerking at the Law Office of Victor Carmody - and Kevin still currently assists me on numerous issues for my own cases. His knowledge of, and experience with, the Intoxilyzer 8000 is very impressive. Kevin is a fantastic attorney and and an outstanding person. I would never hesitate to confidently recommend Kevin in representing a citizen accused of a crime."

"I first met Kevin Stewart shortly before he was sworn in as an attorney. He was a bright young intern at the law Office of Victor Carmody in Jackson, MS. His intelligence and enthusiasm struck me from the moment that I met him and I always knew he would become an excellent, knowledgeable and thorough lawyer. His experience far out-paces the time that he has been practicing and his knowledge of field sobriety testing and breath testing is unsurpassed. I have no reservations about recommending him to anyone in need of a lawyer."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Kevin Stewart and I have worked together for the past 5 years and during that time I have seen him grow far beyond other Attorneys with a similiar time in practice. This is evident when in court all his contemparies besige him with questions about their cases and his take on strategy. He has co-authored Mississippi Dui Law and Practice(Thompson/West 2010) and Understanding Dui Scientific Evidence (Aspatore Books,a dicision of Thompson/West 2010) and Mississippi Criminal Trial Practice Forms (Thompson/West 2010) He has Co-Chaired CLE events for the University of Mississippi and Lorman .Recently he was selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers 2010Mid-South region in DUI.Kevin is a pleasure to work with,and he has had great success as the only Rising Star in the Mississippi/Arkansas/Tennessee area.I hardily recommend Kevin Stewart as the premier Young DUI lawyer in the State of Mississippi."

"I am writing to endorse this lawyer because of his vast knowledge in the area of DUI/DWI. I have attended seminars where Kevin demonstrated his vast knowledge of the Intoxilyzer 8000 and field sobriety tests, two of the most prevalant issues that arise in DUI/DWI cases. This guy has a national reputation and I'd highly recommend that anyone charged with DUI in Mississippi hire him."
