Best Attorney!

Jack is one of the best attorneys in Western North Carolina. He is highly respected, something he has earned over his many years practicing law. He knows the law, but almost just as important, he is level-headed and can see you through the storm you’re going through. I cannot say enough about how muc...h I love and respect both Jack and Happy. They may not always tell you what you want to hear, they tell you what you need to hear- and then set out to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. I highly recommend Jack and Happy.

Don't even think about it

Jack doesn't need to do family law. He has too many cases and not enough time to give your case what it deserves, or he isn't too concerned about it once he gets paid, let the chips fall where they may. A long time as a lawyer doesn't make you a decent lawyer, I now think it's the other way around.... You are warned, do your homework and dig and you shall find that you need to go somewhere else.

Mishandled and destroyed my case!

After getting a referral from a police entity to use Mr. Stewart in a criminal and civil case against my husband, he failed me miserably, mishandled my case, cared not about me, was egotistical and judgmental. His secretary was just as bad, if not worse. I ended up losing a restraining order that I... had on my husband, having never gone before a judge to decide the case, because Mr. Stewart failed to appear and sent his ailing secondary staff to represent, going up against a local attorney, related to the DA, whose sole purpose in life is to obtain custody for the wrong parent, using whining and crying and extension of times to prolong the agony. I ended up handing over my children to a volatile man without ever hearing my case against this man for the harms he had done. I would have been in contempt of court had I not done so. Mr. Stewart is a poor attorney at best. He required big retainers and did little to nothing but add up his hours to charge me more for not doing anything. After two months of hell, I gave up and signed a stupid agreement written by my husband and his lawyer, that didn't help me one bit, and just giving up because there is no justice in this world, especially using an attorney like him...I hired another attorney and the grief continued. Because the case went sideways to begin with, I never had a leg to stand on, and I blame it solely on Jack Stewart. I ended up turning him into the board for misconduct and he did credit some fees he had charged me. Surely, the price paid was way bigger than the money I threw at him, because my life has never been the same since.
