Dedicated To Proactive Legal Guidance For Illinois Employers
At Stewart Law Firm PC, I devote the majority of my practice to representing Illinois employers in labor and employment law matters.
Over the course of 20-plus years in the employment law field, I have gained valuable experience representing diverse organizations in the public and private sectors. Though I now devote my practice 100% to employers, I previously represented employees and labor unions. That experience gives me a 360-degree view of the field, which translates into deeper, more constructive insights for addressing labor and employment issues.
I currently serve as legal counsel for the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association in addition to representing diverse employers. I also provide pro-bono employment and business law guidance for a couple of Springfield area community theater companies, where you might from time to time find me backstage building and moving sets or on the stage “acting.” Read more about my background by clicking on the profile link below:
My Guiding Philosophy Toward Employment Practice
I structure my practice around proactive rather than reactive legal strategies. Through prevention and early intervention, I am frequently able to spare my clients the time and expense involved in costly legal disputes. I also stay up to date on the evolving legal and regulatory framework in the employment law field, and I use that knowledge to help clients navigate compliance concerns.
I believe my role is both an advocate and counselor. To that end, I provide clients with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions, advising them on all possible outcomes. By serving as a trusted partner on legal matters, including labor and employment disputes, I shoulder the legal burdens so that my clients can focus on the operation and success of their organization.
My Approach To Client Service
I value building long-term attorney-client relationships with my clients. When you work with me, you can expect that I will invest the time and effort to understand your organization. I believe that knowledge is critical to providing quality, effective legal service.
My demeanor as a lawyer is friendly, relatable, and professional. I am accessible to clients around the clock, seven days a week.
