Mr. Stewart is an incredible attorney. My case for my infant daughter is complex and wrought with emotion. Mr. Stewart guided me through the most difficult time of my life with understanding, wisdom, and amazing legal savvy.
I consulted with Mr. Stewart about custody arrangements between my ex husband and I. He listened to my issue. He did research on his own prior to the consultation. He gave me great advice.
I've been working with families ever since I started practicing law in January of 2006. My first job as an attorney was as a Family Advocate Attorney for five years at an agency called East Baltimore Development, Inc. When I formed the Stewart Law Office in 2011, I soon became attracted to assisting clients in their divorces. I then made it the primary focus of the firm.
I feel honored to have the privilege of being a divorce attorney because of my own personal experiences. These experiences have been my own journey through challenges and successes; often times through difficulties that seemingly lasted too long and while in the middle of them I felt lost and discouraged.
I have realized in my own life, when I became brave enough to walk through these struggles, I was then able to find the blessings inside of my own challenges. I know how difficult it can be to even begin to lean into the fear of these problems that are right in front of us. It can take so much courage and faith just to decide to move forward, to even take that first step; especially for the client who has been paralyzed by the dilemma of their marriage and custody problems but knows with all their being that they somehow need to move forward
At the Stewart Law Office we provide empathy, hope, strength and legal counsel to our clients in assisting them in walking through one of the most difficult challenges in their lives while supporting them to look for the blessings inside of their difficulties.

Made things much easier
I most definitely recommend Mr. Stewart. He had made this journey with divorce and custody much easier on me. I tried to do it alone for awhile and realized I needed help. Mr. Stewart took my case on and made things smoother for me. He and his staff are very thorough. I had a lot of anxiety going into this, and he and his staff walked me thru step by step, making my anxiety ease. He genuinely cares about my case and that I appreciate. Thank you Mr. Stewart and Jessica ( paralegal).

Outstanding lawyer
Mr. Stewart is very outstanding in what he does. His whole approach gave me hope and courage when I did not know how to go about the whole divorce and custody issue. He is so respectful and dedicated to his work and is always ready to listen to what one has to say. He takes his time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. He is not a lawyer that represents his clients just because he needs to make a living but because is he devoted to his work and to making sure that his clients get nothing but the best possible result. Not only that Mr. Stewart is an amazing lawyer , he is also carrying his staff along in the cases. Everyone in his office that I have come across is very respectful, helpful patient, dedicated and accommodating. Whether it's a phone call that you made or an email that you sent, be sure that you will get a response in a timely manner. If there is anything you don't understand, a meeting will be scheduled either by phone or via zoom (because of the covid situation). I am so glad that i am being represented by Mr.. Stewart. If I ever have a need for a lawyer in the future, I would not have to look elsewhere because Mr. Stewart is on top of his game.

Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable, professional and responsive!
I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I felt like I was an important client.
My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained to me. Mr. Stewart fought hard for me and he did everything in his power to resolve my case quickly and ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I will be forever grateful for his excellent job!

Great Divorce and Custody Attorney Baltimore County
Mr. Stewart is a very passionate, sympathetic and professional attorney. He helped me get through a very rough patch in my life. I was going through a divorce and custody case and I was an emotional train wreck.. If it wasn't for him caring about me as a human being and the best interest of my chiidren, and being proactive on my case. My children and I would not have gotten the settlement results we were seeking and received in the end. Which were the best results possible given my specific situation.
I highly recommend Mr. Stewart in a divorce and child custody case. He is well known through out the Baltimore County Community, in that area of law and will make sure you get the best possible outcome, for the sake of yourself and your children.
I know he made that painful process alittle more easier and I got the best possible outcome from my case.
I want to thank Mr. Stewart for working with me and helping me get through that painful emotional time in my life. I know I was frustrated and unreasonable at times but you stuck by me and helped me work through it.
Thanks again and for your guidance and support.

On top of it All - Professional, Personable, Effective Lawyer
Mr. Rue Stewart was in it to win it from the get-go! I couldn't have asked for a better or more outstanding lawyer than Mr. Stewart. Words really can't express how amazing it was to have someone like him in my corner. He was on top of everything! His communication was impeccable. Didn't matter if it was by email, phone or if you required an in-office meeting. He was there to guide, direct and reassure you through the entire process. His preparation was unmatched! Prior to the final court hearing we briefly went over how the hearing will go over the phone and on the day of the hearing we walk-thru a step-by-step process of the hearing. Mr. Stewart was prepared with a book of information and ready with questions that he would ask us and the petitioner. The confidence he has and how it transitions in the final moments prior to the hearing was unbelievably reassuring and allowed me to calm my nerves. Believe me, I was extremely nervous of all the possible outcomes, but Mr. Stewart was there for me and ready to nip this in the bud! Even in the court room he was going over/writing out different scenario's making sure to cover all situations while we waited for the judge to enter. In the end, we came out on top!! Received the best possible outcome! Leaving the court room, I was so extremely relieved. The weight of this all and how I was wrongly accused was lifted from my chest. Once getting back to the car, I became extremely emotional and at the same time was blessed and grateful that it was Mr. Stewart who helped me through it all! I personally recommend Mr. Rue Stewart if you are in need of a lawyer - He will be there for you, will make you his top priority, will accommodate your need(s), will get you the outcome you want! Thank you Mr. Stewart, for all your hard-work! As I mentioned, I couldn't have had another lawyer that was going to take care of me the way you did! I, thank you, so very much! You eliminated the anxiety that I woke up with every morning and allowed me to get back to my life.
