Made a difficult situation much more bearable

Hired Clair in late August 2021 for a probate matter involving my late Mother’s estate. Clair was extremely professional and kind in dealing with this matter. Would highly recommend her to others.

Good lawyer for estate planning

Clair understood what I needed & got the work done quickly. In my case I only required a financial & medical power of attorney. She prepared them & provided instructions on what my attorney-in-fact & I needed to do with them. It was easy to reach her by email & phone despite the fact that our city... is shut down due to COVID-19.

Best Lawyer In the Philadelphia Area!

This was my first time buying a home in a Short Sale. Ms Stewart was able to delay the foreclosure giving me enough time to purchase the home back. She worked diligently moving things along and making it possible for me to finalize the deal. I am happy with her service and recommend Ms Stewart as one... of the Top Attorney in the Philadelphia Area!

Thorough, honest, Patience, knowledgeable!

Ms. Stewart from the beginning displayed that she was very knowledgeable with what I was inquiring about to hire her for ( Family Estate process ). She was very thorough in the research about my deceased Aunt and obtained all information / documents needed. Alot of patience was displayed by Ms. Stewa...rt because it was ALOT of heirs and information needed that wasn't easy to track down but she waited patiently until everything was collected by me. Lastly honesty was displayed by the way she explained everything to me and for the amount of money to send her for different costs related to the estate account since I don't live in Philadelphia to pay it myself.

Excellent Attorney

We worked with Clair and couldn't have been happier. She knows her stuff and operates with complete confidence in the court room. The outcome of our case was exactly what we had hoped for. I highly recommend Attorney Stewart.
