Marger Stuart Law, is a full-service law firm based in Jasper, Georgia. We are proud to provide knowledgeable and straightforward legal guidance to individuals who face family law issues and criminal charges. We also draft wills and handle probate administration and other estate law matters.

We work directly with our clients to provide them with the best possible legal guidance at a reasonable price. Many clients agree, and Ms. Stuart has received the Avvo Client's Choice award.
Always Serving Our Clients' Best Interests
During an initial consultation, we will listen to the details of the case and the goals you have. Ms. Stuart, with your input, will then construct a strategy that we believe will best achieve those goals. Often it is in the client's best interests to negotiate or mediate outside of court. This approach is usually less expensive, less stressful, and it often resolves the matter more quickly. However, if the two sides cannot agree on a solution, we have extensive experience litigating in court.
Along with our main practice areas, we handle legal issues in the following:
Personal injury
Business administration and corporate law
Civil litigation
Municipal law
A Knowledgeable Litigator

She also works as a prosecutor for local municipalities here in northern Georgia. She is licensed to practice in Tennessee, Florida and Washington, D.C., as well as in the federal courts. While she is down to earth and straightforward with clients, she aggressively protects their rights in court, armed with a depth of knowledge and a willingness to always go the extra mile. Her ability to effectively work either side of a case makes her a formidable presence in the courtroom.
