Employment Matter

I have such a high level of confidence in Stewart as an attorney and a counselor. He is a tremendous listener which then puts him in a position that you feel he completely understands your situation and can help you make very sound decisions on actions or non actions that are completely in your best ...interest. He is also very good at explaining the practical side of what to expect during a legal review process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
