Very good lawyer. When I couldn't find a lawyer in my location luckily I found him and he does a awesome job.

Wrongful Death/Workers Compensation

David was not a good attorney. He will tell you “I got the family the maximum amount allowable, so I did a good job”. However, we did most of the work. He would have a weekly meeting, via phone, he would tells us he would check into something and we would have to contact him back in order to see ...if he did it or not. Also, he did not copy me on emails that he sent to people who were involved in the case. He also, did not forward important information to me concerning my husband’s company information such as; the Company’s condolences, who to contact about insurance to just name a few. How I found this out is once he no longer represented me, the company forwarded all emails sent to David that were NEVER forwarded to me. At the time it would have been helpful, instead I had to figure everything out. So that caused me more stress. He also, completed paperwork with the wrong date of death, sent paperwork to wrong judge, etc. I would not recommend him to anyone. I believe that he did not want to do anything on our case because of the capped dollar amount on the Workman’s Compensation . So he is in it for the money! I would not recommend him!

Experienced and Knowledgeable Trial Attorney

I have known David for many years and have worked with him on cases. He is an experienced and knowledgeable trial lawyer who cares about his clients. I readily recall his great advice early in my career to "be consistent" and know the trial rules. My practice is better having worked with, and learned... from, David. I recommend him for anyone seeking help.

Highly Recommend

I contacted Mr. Stewart after a car accident that I had been involved in. It had been a few weeks after the accident and I wasn't even sure if I had a case. Mr. Stewart was amazing to work with, he was on the ball, he stayed in constant contact and worked hard to get me a settlement without ever goin...g to trial. I had a lot of anxiety about the process, however, Mr. Stewart made it extremely easy and stress free. He did all of the leg work and only called me when absolutely necessary. It was probably the smoothest settlement I could have hoped for and I attribute that to Mr. Stewart. Thanks again!

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 21

Relationship: Friend

"David Stewart is an excellent attorney whose compassion for his clients and exceptional legal skills makes for a winning combination. He is relentless in his conviction to serving the needs of injured victims by fighting back against the injustices of the big insurance companies. David zealously represents people of ordinary means and helps them seek the justice they deserve whether in court or through his masterful negotiating skills. Rarely does the opportunity come along where I feel compelled so strongly recommend the services of another attorney. However, knowing him for as many years as I have, and watched his dedication, courage and spirited representation of his injured clients, it’s quite easy to say I highly recommend Attorney David Stewart."

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.
