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

Employment Investigation

I was being investigated for harassment at my work, and I felt like everybody was out to get me. I called Stewart because he seemed like an experienced attorney, and just talking to him helped put my mind at ease. I hired him to represent me during the investigation, and I am very grateful to have... had a successful outcome. I give Stewart all the credit for helping me out of a really uncomfortable position, and making me feel like I was back in control of my life.

Dedicated to your case

Stewart is a great attorney. I hired him to defend me in my criminal case, and he got the charges dropped down to the minimum. What is best about Stewart was that he was always there to answer my questions and keep me informed about everything that was going on.

Disability Discrimination

I filed an American Disabilities Act compliance form with my employer and was granted the ability to work from home based on my physical and mental disability. Months later, and after my supervisor left the company, upper management was trying to force me back to work. I tried searching for an employ...ment/disability discrimination lawyer, but no one would even grant me a consultation until I paid their hourly fee up front. Stewart was the only attorney that not only picked up my phone call directly, but talked to me for an hour and did not charge me for it. It was such a wonderful first impression. He then found a very creative, and in my opinion, genius method to get my employer to comply with the ADA accommodation. This was all done at a very fair and reasonable price considering how much attorneys usually charge. I'm able to continue working from home, and my employer is treating me much better since their interaction with Stewart. He is so kind, patient and willing to go the extra mile. He's worth every penny, and you would be very lucky to have him on your side as your attorney. He handled my case flawlessly, and I would definitely retain his services again if anything comes up in the future.

Sexual Harassment

Stewart’s work in my case was absolutely impeccable. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Communication with Stewart was a total breeze, and he was very informative about all of the steps with in the lawsuit and made me feel comfortable. He did a wonderful job at educating me on everything I wa...s entitled to. Stewart was very sharp when it came to standing his ground and sticking to the bigger picture, with factual statements, not only following law, but with in my case as well. During mediation, Stewart made me feel very protected, he had no problem reading the situation, and would always step in to redirect when things started to become irrelevant to the case. Stewart maximized the settlement, never folded. I highly recommend using him! You won’t be disappointed!
