About Matthew
Biography
Matthew Stewart didn't grow up wanting to be a lawyer. After graduating with a degree in civil engineering from Virginia Tech, he worked as a land developer and a highway contractor before he learned he could do more good by helping those without a voice fight for justice.
He discovered that he could help his future clients as a litigator, or trial attorney, while he was still a law student. He earned awards from organizations both in and out of law school while developing his skills as a trial lawyer.
In 2013, he opened his own law firm, which has grown steadily each year as more satisfied clients get the word out that an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney is available and open for business in central Virginia.
It took just a few short years in business for Mr. Stewart to begin earning victories for clients in all types of cases. He has represented clients from all over the United States in matters ranging from criminal to personal injury to custody matters. He has successfully defended rape, robbery, and murder, and argued and won in the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Does not exist
I can confirm the Google reviews saying he terrible and never answers calls are true! His office is never open and he failed to appear! There must be some kind of recourse for this behavior!

Does he even exist?
He never answers the phone and does not return calls. He hasn't met with me son since being assigned his lawyer. How can he defend someone without meeting them or talking to them. Terrible!

Amazing
Mr.Stewart really helped me from the beginning of my case until the end he paid attention to every detail of the case and he worked hard for me and my family, I have never met a lawyer that works as hard as he does.

His office personnel were very helpf...

Best in Tri-Cities
