We hired Michael Stewart when I was facing some very serious charges, including Assault 1 and possession of a stolen firearm. It was a high-level case where law enforcement used a lot of resources during the investigation, and I was looking at a lot of prison time. Michael was able to get my bail lowered so I could fight the case from home on house arrest while we worked on it for about a year and a half. In the end, he negotiated a resolution where I pled to Assault 2 and only had to serve 60 days out of a 3-month sentence. Considering what I was originally facing, that outcome made a huge difference in my life. I also want to give a big thank you to Katie and Kendra in the office for all their help along the way. I’m very grateful for everything Michael and his team did for me.

Michaels professionalism in and out of the courtroom is unmatched. Michael is strategic, detail-oriented, and truly fights for his clients.

Mr. Stewart and his phenomenal team, Brianna, Kendra, and his private investigator, are truly a godsend, achieving awe-inspiring results. When searching for a lawyer for my son, Mr. Stewart came highly acclaimed by a former client and two other lawyers, all of whom stressed that with such severe charges, only the finest representation would be sufficient. Thankfully, their counsel proved priceless. My son's prospects transformed from a daunting 15-year sentence to a mere 2 months, all without the need for a trial. This incredible team bestowed my son a second chance, and I will eternally be grateful for their unwavering dedication. I was overjoyed, beyond words, when I heard the 2-month sentence, a truly miraculous outcome. If you're seeking an exceptional lawyer, look no further. Thank you so much!!!

I’m not sure I can convey in words the amount of appreciation I have for what Mr. Stewart did for me. I faced false accusations and it was an incredibly stressful experience for me. He knows the system, he is respected by the courts and his peers. He conducted himself flawlessly and meticulously. He put time, effort, and hard work towards my case. His knowledge, attention to detail, and steady support made all the difference. He and his team fought for me, and I truly don't know how I would have gotten through it without his guidance and advocacy. I couldn’t be more grateful for the outcome. If you’re hiring a defense attorney, make sure you are hiring the right one. It’s not a choice to take lightly. If he’s willing to take your case, you couldn’t be in better hands.

Mr. Stewart did an OUTSTANDING job representing my husband! His knowledge of the law and how he handled the case was impressive. The outcome was way better than we expected, and we owe that Mr. Stewarts skill and expertise. He clearly knows his stuff and worked hard to get the best result for my husband. What really stood out was how kind and caring he was through the whole process - he treated us like people, not just clients. If you're looking for a lawyer who's knowledgeable, prepared, and gets results, and who also genuinely cares about his clients Mr. Stewart is a top choice.

Response from owner

Thank you! I am grateful you chose us to be your champion. We are proud of the work we did and the outcome we achieved. Yes, OUSTANDING!

Michael Stewart is hands down the most amazing attorney I have ever worked with. I work in advocacy and spend a lot of time around the court house. He carries himself in a way that is respected by all and people in court rooms stop what they're doing to hear what he has to say. He's fabulous! When I had a loved one in need, he is the first person I called. When I say, he delivered, I mean HE DELIVERED. My loved one was looking at 30 years and an original $1,000,000 bail. First bail hearing, he got it down to $250,000, second hearing he did his magic and the bail was reduced to an amount we could afford and my loved one was released on an ankle monitor after three months, on the morning of their baby shower. Mr. Stewart genuinely cares for his clients. He showed my loved one tough love, kept it real with them at all times, and gave them the second chance they deserved. My loved one's charges were dropped exactly one year after they were arraigned. I appreciate that Mr. Stewart truly saw my loved one, making them feel genuinely seen and heard, and treated them with the humanity they deserved. Without him, I do not know where my loved one would be today and I owe him much more than money could ever pay. He is so very appreciated and I am forever grateful for the work he does.

I am extremely satisfied with my decision to retain Michael Stewart as my criminal defense attorney. From the outset, his office demonstrated exceptional attentiveness to my needs and concerns. Michael provided not only strong legal representation but also genuine emotional support during a difficult time. His approachable and respectful demeanor within the court system was evident, as he appeared to be well-regarded by both peers and court personnel alike. Although the case initially presented significant challenges, Michael remained persistent and committed throughout the process. His dedication ultimately led to the best possible outcome, one we had hoped for but wasn't certain at the start. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and perseverance, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate defense attorney.

Micheal Stewart saved my life I was facing a life sentence I had a pregnant fiancé I felt that their was so much stacked against me and with assigned counsel it would have been a worse situation I asked around and looked for the best lawyer and everyone said you need “Micheal Stewart” I secured him he worked with me on pricing and we got it figured out he told me the plan from the very beginning told me every move before he made it and let me comb through it with him while still incarcerated he promised he would get me home for my son and got my bail dropped $175,000 and a motion to watch my son come into the world and we finished off my case strong 8 months after my son was born with an amazing knapstad motion and I am now a free man if you need someone to put you’re trust into and he sticks to his word Micheal Stewart is the best of the best

Michael Stewart and his whole team were amazing from day one! Very positive, down to earth, communicative, quick response times, kind and compassionate. I never once felt as if I had been forgotten or left hanging at any time during this whole process. Even after working a 16+ hour day, he made time to personally call me and update me on my case. Mr. Stewart and his team were diligent and persistent and most importantly produced results! I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a situation that calls for an attorney. He will fight for you. There aren’t enough stars on this grading system to show my gratitude! I can’t thank him enough for the help he gave to me. Sincerely, April T.

Response from owner

Thank you for choosing me to be your lawyer. Your case was a perfect example of wrong place/wrong time. Complete dismissals are rare in Federal Court. I'm glad we were able to work together to get that done. Thank you!

When choosing Mike to represent my husband, I read every single review I could find. I found nothing but great things but of course was still skeptical. Mike has went above and beyond with his services and every charge has been completely dropped. My husband was potentially facing up to or more than, 25 years. Mike dug into the case and proved my husbands innocence. I will FOREVER recommend Mike to anyone and everyone, ESPECIALLY if it’s a serious case. WELL WORRH THE MONEY. To have my husband at home where he belongs is worth more than anything. Thank you Mike and your team for the great communication and work you did! We will forever be greatful!

Response from owner

Thank you for entrusting your husband's case with me. It was a pleasure being his attorney. We proved his innocence, got all the charges dismissed, and got him home. I hope you and your family live a long and wonderful life!

I hired Michael and the Stewart Law team during the most stressful time of my life. Michael from the beginning took complete ownership showed a personal interest and helped guide me to get the best possible result. I felt like I had a loyal family member representing me and the relieve of stress he gave me I can’t put a price tag on. I am beyond grateful for the professionalism, communication, personal interest, and there ability to keep me on track to get the best outcome. Michael not only helped me with great legal advice.
