Masters Criminal Justice Administration

Attorney Stewart Foster Salwin is Seriously a Very Atrractive Guy. . He is very considerate, Very kind, and Very generous. He handled everything for me and kept me calm while they retrieved my purse and When he had to refer me to the Family Justice Department for the Diversion Program and for the ...Court Date he answered all the questions for me because I froze up. If you want to see how Justice is done in Arizona, and you are from Out-Of-State; Hire Him. He is probably the most Mature and most Handsome/Honest/Calm Attorney you will ever meet in Arizona or Elsewhere. Kudus: Cynthia Z Kaye

World-Class Employment Law Professional

Stewart Salwin provided compassionate legal advisement during a time, and over a period of great stress. His wisdom, guidance, and deep knowledge of employment law benefited my case greatly. It was a pleasure to work with Stewart and I highly recommend his services for employment law related matter...s.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Prompt, knowledgeable & professional

As an employee experiencing a time-sensitive issue, I needed an expert attorney to consult with ASAP. (Google can only get you so far.) Stewart answered my call, which is surprisingly rare, and collected the high-level details of my situation. I paid online, sent supporting documentation — which he r...eviewed quickly ahead of our meeting — and met by phone the same day. Stewart's advice was straightforward and clearly articulated; he explained the applicable laws, outlined my options, and provided sound practical advice. His professional, approachable communication style inspired trust and confidence. While I did not pursue legal action at the time, our meeting gave me peace of mind. I'm grateful I found Stewart and would 100% work with him again.

I made the right choice

I had an employment law issue that involved state departments and was a very difficult position to be in. Stewart was very helpful and always quick to meet in person or receive calls/emails. He helped me get through my situation with the best possible outcome at a great price. His personable appro...ach during a stressful time was definitely what was needed.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I was beyond lucky to have Stewart as my attorney for a difficult work-related issue that I recently dealt with. I can honestly say that this was the most stressful situation that I have ever been put in. But after speaking with Stewart, he gave me the confidence that I needed to keep pursuing my leg...al issue. He was always available to answer all questions I had throughout the process and I was always informed immediately of any updates. I would recommend Stewart to anyone for legal issues. He makes sure you are comfortable with any and all decisions before going forward and he really listens to you.
