Stephen Stewart is my go-to lawyer for anything related to Second Amendment rights and LTCF in Philly and PA. I have gone to him a few times over the years to get clarity on questions and to make sure I didn’t end up getting arrested for anything! He knows all the laws and rules for private transfers and FFL. He takes calls on weekends and in the evening.

I was referred to Stephen by my uncle during a time when I was in desperate need to defend myself against a false PFA order by my child’s mother to gain leverage in a custody battle. Stephen stood side by side with me and got the PFA against me dismissed. Stephen is an amazing attorney I highly recommend him!

I had an immigration issue and contacted Stephen for advice. He answered all of my initial questions and connected me with one of his colleagues who specializes in U.S. immigration law. Everything worked out thankfully. I highly recommend!

Working with competent council made an enormous difference in my challenging situation. Mr. Stewart is knowledgeable, well prepared and confident in his craft. Upon our first conversation, he presented best case scenarios which relieved the second guessing and eased some of the emotional weight. I trusted Stephen and it allowed me to breath easy and get the best outcome. If you want someone that is clear, concise and a strong lotigator. Look no further.
