Michael Austin Stewart

I called The Law office of Michael Austin Stewart to get my two felonies vacated. I paid a flat fee and Michael handled everything within a couple months without me ever having to step into a courtroom. Both felonies vacated, rights restored, I can now completely move on with my life.

He saved my family, best lawyer and office, he help me dismiss the criminal case. Very professional and detailed. Honestly I did a lot of research before hired him, I’m so glad he is on my side. I will recommend him to everyone who needs a best lawyer to defend. Mike and Brianna, thank you!!!

I came to Mike after firing my last attorney, the case was continued over and over for about six or seven months with no progress. Mike resolved this case for me after only two court appearances. He has been the best attorney that I have worked with, hands down. Mike's confidence in himself and in me helped keep me calm during this process. The case outcome was amazing. I only have three days of work crew as opposed to a month in-custody. I can keep my job, my home, and I get to keep my family. I got my life back because of Mike.

I would highly recommend Mike for your legal needs. He is a straight shooter, and takes care of his clients. We came to Mike with our livelihood on the line and he really came through for us. We could not see any light at the end of the tunnel, but Mike was able to see the bigger picture and walk us through the challenges. I am with my family today due to his hard work and determination.

I would give him 100 stars if I could. Mike is the best criminal defense lawyer in Tacoma! He did exactly what he said he would do and charged me a very fair price. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case. Thank you a million times Mr. Stewart!! Don’t risk your future by trying to save a few bucks on a lawyer. You definitely get what you pay for, and in my case he got my case dismissed.

An uncommon man among uncommon men, is the only statement that adequately describes Mr. Michael Austin Stewart. Personally, I have only ever had true and absolute faith in the capacity of one attorney out of the many I have retained and that was over a decade ago. Before finding and meeting Mr. Stewart and his team, I had almost given up hope that high caliber, trustworthy attorneys still existed. For the sake of brevity, I will suffice it to say that I was beyond frustrated with my circumstances and seemed to be slipping ever deeper into the abyss of red-tape, arbitrary stipulations and non-productive hearings, all stemming from the misdemeanor assault charge I was fighting, by way of the MUNICIPALITY OF OLYMPIA. Mr. Stewart's team received a voicemail from me during the holiday season of 2018. I was blown away when a member of his team returned my call almost immediately and had me scheduled for a consultation before the year was through. That act alone is indicative of how important clients are to the men and women of Stewart Law Firm, but more important to me, was the vetting. You can tell how well an attorney is going to pay attention to the details of a case, in part, by the nature of the questions you receive from his associates/assistants/paralegals, during their initial inquiry. The moment of truth in my mind is two-fold. The first, being the feeling that I sense when I make first eye contact with someone and seeing how the air moves about them as they enter a room. How do they carry themselves? Do they look me in my eyes? How is their handshake? While the consultation carries on, what's the attorney doing? Are they checking their email or are they present in all their faculties? Are they focused and attentive to the reason I am here? Is my time important to them? You see, these are some of the mannerisms that can help you see WHO THE PERSON REALLY IS. It just so happens to be some of the exact same material that sets Mike far and above his peers and show him to be an uncommon man in his field. Mr. Stewart doesn't waste time. He is a well-oiled, finely tuned, high-performance machine and he's race ready. Day one, meeting number one, Mike is more than present, he is mentally and physically involved all the way. Now, it would be impossible for me to say or know exactly how Mr. Stewart analyzes and interprets all of the variables and potential pitfalls of a given circumstance, but I know he brought solutions to the table and gave me clear instructions on how to proceed forward, following our meeting. We spoke for a while and he seemed very personable and genuine in his relating to me and my hardship. I think he knows it's important for us to feel like someone is listening and paying attention to what we have encountered while dealing with the arbitrary sanctions of pre-trial, as well as the family and career concerns arising from it all. Mike is a human too (super important) and feeling confident that he and I were tracking on the same subject, I handed it all over to him and his team. I let out a deep sigh of relief and awaited my instructions. MR. STEWART IS RENOWNED FOR HIS ABILITY TO TROUBLESHOOT AND PROBLEM SOLVE, COMPLEX COURT CASES, which is exactly what I had, and exactly what he did. On May 14, 2019 my case was DISMISSED. This is the SECOND HALF OF THE MOMENT OF TRUTH to which I alluded earlier. This is where Mike and his team earn their money, in my mind. At the end of the day, RESULTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS in any language. My name is Dave Davidson, I live in Olympia and if someone tells me they have a criminal problem, I send them to Michael Austin Stewart. Do yourself a favor, if you have criminal charges, or want someone on retainer just in case, get an appointment with Mike and see for yourself. You need this dude on your team.

I highly recommend Mr. Stewart. He and his staff processed a vacate order for me. Very professional.

Mike has defended my son twice for DUI citations. Both times the outcomes were better than we anticipated. But the best part is the personal connection Mike makes with his clients. He truly cares about them as people. My son listened to Mike's advice and has not had a drink since his last court appearance with Mike. My wife and I cannot thank him enough.

a week ago 2nd chances. I truly believe in second chances and this is what Michael gave me. I made some bad choices when I was younger, and because of that instead of staying in the past, it followed me around for a decade. Everything I tried to accomplish and every job application, my record was branded. I finally got my life on track, ready to finally grow up, but having a criminal record really held me down, no matter how much I tried. Micharl A. Stewart let me have that second chance and we are proceeding to vacate my records so that I can go on and live my life like everyone else. Thank you

Mike took on this case after the state had manipulated the court to remove another top attorney under a highly unusual tactic knowing the states case was weak. With finesse, patience, skill and calculated interviews along with a top notch investigative team Mike systematically dismantled the fabricated claims the state presented refused to settle for anything other than a dismissal. Mike took apart piece by piece each of the states witnesses until there was nothing left but a feeble attempt by the corrupt and incompetent states attorney at the 11th hour to make one last attempt to divert and distress Mike into a plea deal. Mike saw through the new false claims by the states attorney. The case, which on the front looked grim due to the stacked up lies and false claims by King County Sheriffs, the complaining witness and sloppy misguided reports by states expert witnesses, had been trampled by Michael Stewart and his expert team. Michael Stewart with his skill, experience and tenacity brought justice onto the State of Washington and saved a life. We are forever grateful for Mike and his team.

I contacted Michael Stewart after being charged with a DUI. I was extremely nervous of my case given the fact that I had a BAC that was over twice the legal limit. In addition to the high BAC, I had a previous drinking and driving incident that was just under 20 years old. After speaking with Michael over the phone, I felt immediate relief. He did not hide the fact that this would be a difficult case, but I felt hopeful and most importantly felt I was in the best hands possible. Michael understood a negative outcome would extremely affect my family, and he fought accordingly. Throughout the process, his staff, specifically Ashley, was completely accessible and very knowledgeable on all areas of my case. In the end, my results were better then I had anticipated. No jail time, insignificant fine, well spent community service, and minimal restrictions on my license. I would not be in the position I am, had I not hired Michael. I am so happy with my results and am more happy to be able to put this all behind me. I would recommend him 110% and I am extremely particular with high expectations. He exceeded these, and then some. Thank you Michael and your wonderful staff!

Michael was very aggressive with the court in getting the best outcome for me that was possible. He kept me updated at all times even took my calls while in court. Very likeable and relates well to his clients, best attorney I've ever had

After speaking with numerous attorneys and feeling defeated I decided to try one more. It was late on a Sunday afternoon when I left a message not expecting to hear from anyone. I was shocked 30 minutes later when Mr. Stewart called me. He was heading out for a family event but took the time to talk with me. He had a strength and confidence I hadn’t heard from anyone that gave me hope during the darkest time in my life. He was completely dedicated and put his heart aches nd soul into every detail of my case. Although it seemed I had everything stacked against me and everyone else told me it was inevitable I would spend time in prison he dug deeper and came up with an alternative. He never waivered or backed down. He kept me focused and informed every step of the process. I am home with my kids today because of him. I am confident my life would be entirely different today if I didn’t make one more call.

Mike Stewart is by far the best legal representation in the state of Washington. The prosecutor in my case wanted 17 months in prison and $50,000 restitution. Final result with Mike = no time whatsoever and no restitiutuion. And he was going up against Sound Transit. Other lawyers my mom called made her cry and did not listen to any of the facts. Miks is a professional and knows what he is doing . He made sure everything was done right from start to finish. Bottom line , if your freedom is in question and you want to do everything in your power to protect that freedom retain Mike Stewart.
