Nadia Stewart

I typically don’t type reviews however, as a Family Lawyer you would have thought Nadia Stewart would care more or even showed interest in helping. Nadia did none the sort, as a matter of fact, she was quite rude when I called to obtain assistance. I am an ARAG member who was provided Nadia’s name a...s a Lawyer- she seems very knowledgeable and I was excited to reach out her. Once she answered that phone my first impression and excitement went down the drain. Not quite sure the reason why she was being so rude or if she was having a bad day- absolutely no excuse; Nadia wouldn’t let me get a word out edge wise. Long story short, she wasn’t interested in hearing what I needed for a petition my daughter received. I made her aware of the situation at hand and she stated “first of all I charge a $4k retainer fee/$200+ an hour fee and in my past experience ARAG family members cannot be represented”. She didn’t even look at what my ARAG membership consisted of and showed absolutely no interest in wanting to represent my daughter. Regardless of an ARAG member or not show some dignity when someone is willing to pay the money for a lawyer. End result she wasn’t hired and doesn’t even deserve 1 star.

Nadia Stewart was my counsel when I was accused of a crime. She had no advice for me, and told me not to press the issue or I'd probably be arrested. She asked absolutely NOTHING about my case from me, and totally supported the opposition, costing me my career, even though the investigators/prosecuti...on could NOT have the evidence they hinted at having because it did not/could not exist. Not once did she speak on my behalf, listen to what I had to say, and did not believe me. To add insult to injury, she actually spoke out on BEHALF of the other side during a disciplinary hearing when I was terminated. She told my supervisor (who terminated me) she appreciated meeting with him and looked forward to seeing the supervisor in the future and that she was pleased with the new disciplinary policy. I thought an attorney was paid to fight for you, but I guess I just wasn't able to afford REAL representation that would speak up for me rather than just treading water, collecting a paycheck, and kissing up to the opposition instead of backing her client. Before she was assigned to my case, I had another attorney assigned to it, and within 12 hours, he did more work than she ever did in three months. She will make grand promises, "I know that investigator, she'll tell me what the details are." "They have had the case for five months so far and didn't do anything, this will probably just go away.", all her professional "insight" and inside information won't help you, because she is (or was) just busy making friends at the cost of her clients. She is useless. Useless!!!
