Professional, personable, and prepared. Highly Recommend!

After years of a frustrating process with our insurance company in regards to a denied sinkhole claim, we came to the conclusion that we would need to file a lawsuit. We hired Brad Stewart as our lawyer and could not be happier that we did! He was always professional and very knowledgeable about the ...insurance business and processes. He kept us informed and answered countless questions along the way. When it became clear our case would go to trial, he prepared us for what to expect and always made sure we knew what was happening and listened to our questions and concerns. I do believe our case was an uphill battle, but thanks to Mr. Stewart's skill, commitment, and preparedness, we won our case! He is hard-working, detail-oriented, organized, honest and personable! We would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend in need of legal counsel.

The Best of the Best

Brad Stewart has been my attorney for the past 10 years in a long and exhausting case that was finally settled for over 1 million dollars after my insurance company refused to pay the policy limits of 100,000 and I had to sue them for bad faith. He handled my case expertly through a jury trial where ...the verdict was in our favor and then the appeals process that the insurance company put us through. I recommend this attorney highly in any case requiring expert trial experience. T Bowling

Awesome Attorney!

Mr. Stewart settled our sinkhole claim. We opened our claim with our insurance company in July 2011. It seemed little movement was made toward a resolution. Mr. Stewart took our case, after another attorney turned us away. We hired Mr. Stewart in September 2012 and he had a check from our insuran...ce company in October 2012!! I wish we would've hired Mr. Stewart in the beginning!! He was always straight-forward with us, always answered our calls and emails in a timely matter. His office staff is wonderful to work with as well. We would highly recommend Mr. Stewart to anyone needing to hire an attorney.

Great Attorney

Brad is a great lawyer he stuck with me though a sinkhole case against my homeowners insurance provider. Weeks, months of reseach, mediation, pre-trail conferences, pleadings and finding experts, Brad did it all and was always a professional. Without his knowledge and great support staff I don't thin...k the outcome would have been the same. WE WON! Brad will tell you if you have a case or not. He is honest, trustworthy and a thoughtful person. I highly recommend Brad Stewart. Next Brad will be helping me with my will.

"Mr. Stewart possesses an excellent base of knowledge and experience with respect to insurance disputes and general litigation. What sets Mr. Stewart apart from the "average" lawyer is his ability to approach each conflict, dispute, or problem from a common sense perspective. This is a skill which cannot be taught in a classroom. Mr. Stewart is relatable, likable, and has a strong work ethic. These qualities are assets both in and out of the courtroom. I endorse Mr. Stewart without reservation."
