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.
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!!!
Mike is exceptional! His impressive legal knowledge and compassion for his clients brought me back from the brink so to speak. He never stopped fighting for me.
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.

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.
Mike and his team were fantastic in helping us with our teenager’s case. Their support and guidance made a big difference, and we truly appreciate their professionalism and dedication.

Thank you! If there is ever anything I can do, let me know. It was a pleasure being of service.
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

It was an honor to represent you and achieve a complete dismissal.
Amazing attorney, he knows what he is talking about and can get it done. Got my case lowered to a fraction of the time I was looking at. I cannot express how much I appreciate him and his team. Would recommend to anyone dealing with legal troubles. Thank you again Michael!

Thank you Tylor for entrusting your case to me. It was a pleasure representing you and fighting for a just outcome. I wish you all the best and hope that you stay in touch!
