Marcia Stewart Testimonials

“Marcia went above and beyond my expectations to help me and my family. She is an outstanding lawyer who I would fully recommend to anyone who needs someone they can depend on and trust to fight for them. She and her staff responded promptly to all questions and issues that I had, and made the court process a very positive one for me.”


“At a time that was very difficult for me, Marcia was not only well qualified but also kind. She listened to me and helped me in a most delicate case with my youngest child. Later, another case came up with my third child. In the end, everything worked out for the best. I was very happy with her performance and if I needed a lawyer again I would call Marcia.”


“We had a custody issue with our niece and we on a very limited time frame due to school starting. Ms Stewart was great and everything worked out just as she said it would.


“Mrs. Stewart really knows her field. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and professional; and she’s a fighter too. Her prior experience as a judge also provided me with a unique and valuable bonus insight into my situation as she has seen both sides on process. I highly recommend her.”


“Ms Stewart is the 7th family-law attorney I’ve employed over the past 15 yrs to handle various child custody issues arising from 2 failed marriages. Of these 7, only 3 would I recommend to friends & family, & Marcia would be the 1st. As a lawyer myself, I find it hard to be fair in rating OTHER lawyers, especially when I’m paying for their services & at stake are my most cherished earthly relationships — those with my 6 kids. I always think my case is stronger, I should win, & it shouldn’t cost me much money, an entirely unrealistic attitude. Marcia has been the most frank & on point in bringing my expectations down to earth. Perhaps the most important of Marcia’s qualities, for me anyway, is her dedication to earning her pay. Not the least nor most expensive of my lawyers, she’s the only one who always & without exception delivered the results I felt I’d paid for. In fact, she delivered 3 of the 5 best outcomes I’ve enjoyed from the many custody issues I’ve had to litigate.”


“We came to know Marcia thru the recommendation of another lawyer. I will never forget our first appointment with her. We were in a panic and did not know what we could do to obtain custody of our 1 year old granddaughter. Her parents (our son and his girl friend) were not married and began making bad choices in their lifestyle and with the people they associated with. We met with Marcia and she immediately put us at ease. She was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in this area of family law. She listened to our story and gave us sound legal advice and the assurance that we could pursue custody of our granddaughter. I would recommend Marcia to anyone who needs legal counsel in the area of family law.”


“Mrs Stewart has helped our son, a single dad, to get full custody of his son. She and her staff are always available, willing to help in any situation or with any question you have, believe me I had a lot of them. We have recommended her to many of our friend looking for legal advice. If you choose her you will be in good hands.”


“Ms. Stewart is a fantastic attorney who really fought hard in my case. She has excellent knowledge of the court system and provided sound advice and insight into my case. Even after the conclusion of my case I have kept in contact and she has provided answers to my legal questions, even though they are not in her expert field. If she doesn’t know the answer she finds it for me or puts me in contact with reputable attorneys who do!”


“I have used Marcia Stewart for several different cases related to personal issues and business. She knows more off the top of her head than other attorneys that I have used and she definitely puts her clients first. I have recommended her on more than several occasions and those people have been extremely pleased with her service also. She is fantastic in the courtroom! Personally, I would trust Marcia with any case that I had.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Marcia. She is caring, compassionate, smart and tough. Having her in my corner has given me great comfort during a very difficult time in my life. As good a lawyer as she is, she is an even better person. And that might be what makes her so special.”


“Marcia helped me so much, I would not have known what do do and where I would be now without her help. She is very professional and smart, knowing exactly what she does all the time! Chapeau! Would recommend her every time and always, thanks Marcia!”

“Hands down best lawyer in Johnston County!!! Understands and argues the law very professionally. If you need a hash mark in your win column, contact Walter!! Made us feel confident in our case and always assured we were in goods hands!”


“My highest possible recommendation! Few things in life can leave you more rattled that a legal problem, where you have no knowledge and can only fear the worst. Walter eased those fears at our first meeting. He was through and to the point in determining the situation of the case and it’s probable outcome. He was clear from the start about what would take place, both the good and bad, but left me certain that he cared about us as people, not just clients, and that he wanted to see justice done. It was a long and difficult process but one he never gave up on. In the end, he achieved exactly what he said he would and we never felt like our case was on his back burner. Again, my highest possible recommendation! ”


“I owe everything to Walter. Walter’s persistence, confidence, intelligence and experience far exceeded any expectations I could have ever had. Not only does he handle the case like a pro, but went above and beyond even after he fulfilled his duties. He believes in justice and will fight for you till the end. I was so lucky to have found him. Thank you Walter! ”
