I retained Clair Stewart for my divorce and child custody after I found an ad for her practice on Craig's List. I emailed her at the posted address and she called the same day. I had spoken to another attorney a few months before that but didn't really like the "vibe" I got from him. He seemed too pushy. Clair, on the other hand, was very nice and seemed more interested in sharing her legal expertise than getting onto another client and making more money. She answered any and all questions I had. I was never left in the dark about my case and anytime I called or emailed her she normally got back to me the same day. I would definitely recommend her services and contact her in the future should I need an attorney again.

Hired Clair in late August 2021 for a probate matter involving my late Mother’s estate. Clair was extremely professional and kind in dealing with this matter. Would highly recommend her to others.

Clair understood what I needed & got the work done quickly. In my case I only required a financial & medical power of attorney. She prepared them & provided instructions on what my attorney-in-fact & I needed to do with them. It was easy to reach her by email & phone despite the fact that our city is shut down due to COVID-19.

This was my first time buying a home in a Short Sale. Ms Stewart was able to delay the foreclosure giving me enough time to purchase the home back. She worked diligently moving things along and making it possible for me to finalize the deal. I am happy with her service and recommend Ms Stewart as one of the Top Attorney in the Philadelphia Area!

Ms. Stewart from the beginning displayed that she was very knowledgeable with what I was inquiring about to hire her for ( Family Estate process ). She was very thorough in the research about my deceased Aunt and obtained all information / documents needed. Alot of patience was displayed by Ms. Stewart because it was ALOT of heirs and information needed that wasn't easy to track down but she waited patiently until everything was collected by me. Lastly honesty was displayed by the way she explained everything to me and for the amount of money to send her for different costs related to the estate account since I don't live in Philadelphia to pay it myself.

We worked with Clair and couldn't have been happier. She knows her stuff and operates with complete confidence in the court room. The outcome of our case was exactly what we had hoped for. I highly recommend Attorney Stewart.

I hired Clair in 2017 to complete the filing of my mother's estate. She was always very responsive and helpful in answering my questions, and I was happy with the service that she provided.

She helped my mother-in-law sell her home. It was very complicated transaction because my mother-in law lived in a different state.

I went to Clair to have a will drawn up last year. Whenever I had a question, either by phone or email, she answered quickly and with thoughtful and helpful responses. She also followed up with additional suggestions to make things easier for my executors. In the future, I plan on finalizing other documents, and will contact Clair to do them. My experience with her was positive and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Clair helped me defend myself from big bank hegemony after a foreclosure and prevented me from sustaining further damage(s). She understood exactly what was going on and knew exactly what to do. She has also counseled me on credit report/rating and provided references to other attorney's for other legal matters. She did an awesome job on all these fronts. I would hire her again, if I could. Regardless the topic, she'll give it to you straight. Thanks, Clair!
