Civil Rights

Attorney In Philadelphia
Hough v. City of Philadelphia

Were your civil rights violated?

Civil rights laws are complicated. Speak with an attorney today to understand your options.

Are you unsure of whether what happened to you is a civil rights violation? Don’t worry. This is common. The rights guaranteed to us by our federal and state governments are complicated by nuanced statutes, codes, and case law precedents. A civil rights lawyer can help you complete an accurate analysis of your situation. The first step is to reach out for a consultation.

Are you worried that it will be too much hassle or you will face scrutiny if you complain? This is also a common reaction to having your civil rights violated. A civil rights attorney can also protect you from retaliation, harassment, or other forms of backlash when you challenge an individual, business, or government agency for violating your rights.

Can you collect money damages for civil rights violations? The most important remedy is to stop the violation of your civil rights if the bad acts are ongoing. But yes, it is possible to sue in federal and state courts for damages you suffer as a result of civil rights violations. Like any other civil cause of action, you will need to prove your case by a preponderance of the evidence and establish damages. Attorney Stephen Stewart can help you evaluate your case.

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!

Mr Stewart is do sure absolutely one of the best in the business. I was able to get through my case and I made out very well. All while being extremely confident in Mr Stewart’s in legal practice. If you’re in a tight jam and need a defense, don’t hesitate to give this man a call. Without a doubt top 5 lawyers in Delco/Montgomery counties.

Stephen Stewart's Law firm is the absolute best! He was patient, thorough, knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. He has his clients best interest in mind. I felt like he was a family member because he made us feel that way, which helped us emotionally. Always available to answer any questions or concerns. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

My wife and I hired Stephen to guide the estate planning process for us. He was extremely knowledgeable, well organized and thoughtful as he discussed all of our options and thoroughly explained the benefits and downsides of each and every one. I really felt like we were able to make informed decisions on such an important topic thanks to his expertise. I would highly recommend Attorney Stewart for any of your legal needs.

Last September 2021 my sister contacted Mr. Stewart’s office and within hours he was personally returning our phone call. From that initial conversation I knew he was the one that could help my husband fight this case! We were right! These pass 8 months Mr. Stewart was nothing short of AMAZING! He was always very professional, honest, respectable, well organized, knowledgeable, clean, very informative, and what I liked the most about him very straightforward. He never kept you in the dark or trying to guess the next steps. Weather it was good or bad news he was always honest and told you upfront. No matter how busy he may have gotten, we NEVER felt like my husband’s case was less important or he just simply didn’t care. We can not thank Mr. Stewart enough for his hard work, dedication, and fight he put up for my husband’s case, without him I know we wouldn’t have gotten through this successfully as we did! So if you are trying to find a GREAT Criminal Defensive lawyer, you found your GUY!
