Great Lawyer

M. Stewart was great at handling my case, he made himself available right away to explain the potential consequence of a reckless driving charge and put in place a strategy to ensure a good outcome for me at court. Thanks to his plan and professionalism the charge was reduced and I only had to pay ...a very small fine.

I’m Extremely Happy!!!

Mr.Stewart, represented me and treated me with grace and dignity. He really helped me in so many ways. I recommend Mr.Stewart 110%. With him in your corner; all those nights of tossing and turning not being able to fall asleep will go away. Mr.Stewart turned the difficult dilemma I was faced with and... made it go away. He is smart, brilliant, savvy , and a gentleman. I am grateful for having Mr.Stewart represent me and will keep him for any future things.

Probably fine for a traffic ticket but not much else.

In my experience, Mr. Stewart will basically just tell you to capitulate to whatever the prosecutor wants. On multiple occasions, he did not provide necessary information or follow up, and was an enormous waste of time and money. Would have done better pro se.

Exemplary attorney

Mr. Stewart provided the best legal representation possible. If you're looking for an attorney who will fight for you and look for your best interest, then Mr. Stewart is the right one for you. He makes sure he's readily available and gets back to you promptly. He is open and honest and listens to wh...at you want. If he doesn't agree, then he'll tell you and make suggestions to help make a sound judgement. Mr. Stewart represented me in court and he was able to defend my rights, ultimately getting all the charges dismissed . One of the most professional and down to earth attorneys out there!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
