child custody hearing

Outstanding performance. Ms. Stewart maneuvers through the court system with ease. Her special knowledge and experience are very clearly appreciated. She is the best we have seen!

Marcia is an excellent lawyer, she fights for what you need and will not stop until she succeeds. No matter how complicated the case is. i really do recommend Marcia, she succeeded the two times we hired her.

A burden lifted!

I spent about 5 months with a Harnett Co attorney who hadn't resolved a thing regarding my case. In fact, after receiving a harshly worded response from the opposition's litigator, my Harnett Co. attorney suggested we settle! I immediately knew it was time for a change. What an enormous relie...f it was to find Marcia Stewart. Instantly I was greeted by a professional woman who was intelligent, confident and kind. Who without hesitation, had me at ease with a new strategy that addressed the issues with swift and deliberate action. The previous 5 months I was pummeled and berated with phone calls and letters to halt my pursuit of justice. But within days of hiring Ms. Stewart, the opposition was silenced and less than 90 days later, without having to appear in court, my case was settled (in my favor). I cannot express in words the depth of gratitude I have for how professionally and expeditiously Ms. Stewart handled this very sensitive and exhausting, year-long debacle. She left no stone un-turned challenging and answering with great eloquence, every attempt to question my integrity and damage my character - qualities I've worked my life to protect. Again, I cannot thank you enough for the hope and pride you have given back to me. An excellent, determined attorney for whom I hold the utmost respect and who, with her experience from years as a judge, I would highly recommend in any capacity, without hesitation.

Marcia Stewart

Marcia went above and beyond my expectations to help me and my family. She is an outstanding lawyer who I would fully recommend to anyone who needs someone they can depend on and trust to fight for them. She and her staff responded promptly to all questions and issues that I had, and made the court... process a very positive one for me.

Marcia's a book of knowledge! I highly recommend her for the job!

I have used Marcia Stewart for several diffferent cases related to personal issues and business. She knows more off the top of her head than other attorneys that I have used and she definitely puts her clients first. I have recommended her on more than several occasions and those people have been e...xtremely pleased with her service also. She is fantastic in the courtroom! Personallly, I would trust Marcia with any case that I had.
