MADD is there to help, providing victim advocacy, education and victim services.” Stewart said that he is most pleased to support this worthwhile event.

Local Hero is Honored by The Stewart Law Firm
The Stewart Law Firm, in association with Crime Victims First, a non-profit agency dedicated to serving the needs of crime victims, bestowed a community appreciation award to Mr. Sisto Perez of Austin, Texas. Mr. Perez, a father of 4, was riding his motorcycle in Austin, Texas on February 2, 2012 when he witnessed a motorist strike 3 pedestrians. The driver, allegedly drunk at the time, fled the scene after hitting the pedestrians. One of the pedestrians, a University of Texas student, was seriously injured in the incident. Mr. Perez followed the alleged drunk driver on his motorcycle. When he caught up to the driver, Mr. Perez pulled the driver out of his car, tied him up with a belt and held him until police officers arrived on scene. Seeing as this incident occurred in downtown Austin, there is no doubt that Mr. Perez’ actions likely saved other lives. The Stewart Law Firm is committed to holding drunk drivers accountable, seeing that victims of these senseless crimes receive their due under the law. On behalf of Mr. Perez’ courageous acts, The Stewart Law Firm also honored him by giving a cash donation to Crime Victims First in Mr. Perez’ honor.
