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.

Hostile Work Environment

I met Stewart by chance, whilst looking for a lawyer to handle a hostile work environment case for me. He was very kind & professional from start to end, listened to me patiently while I was rambling on, advised on what can be done& set expectations right up front. What I liked most about Stewa...rt was he was fair, reasonable & did not give false expectations & more over, always consulted with me before moving forward with any paperwork. He always had time to explain & talk to me. In this busy world it is not easy to come by a lawyer with all these qualities. It was a smooth & successful experience & I owe it all to Stewart. I consider myself blessed to meet him & let him handle my case successfully.

Sex discrimination

Stewart is an amazing lawyer! He represented me in my sex discrimination claim against my employer. Not only did he exceeded all expectations, he actually showed genuine concern for me and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. Highly knowledgeable in his field and was very aggres...sive dealing with my employer. However was very down to earth, patient and was easy to talk to when dealing with me and answering all my questions. Highly recommend!
