About Stephen

He left law school prepared for courtroom work and for managing the details that support it.

Mr. Stewart is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is also admitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States.

His practice involves litigation and counsel that require court appearances and written advocacy. He prepares pleadings, argues motions, and handles appeals when appropriate. He is comfortable working across trial court dockets and in appellate settings. In managing a small firm, he balances the demands of individual client matters with broader case management responsibilities and law office administration.
