The Stewart Law Firm: A Champion for Community Involvement

In a world where tragedies often go unnoticed, and victims’ voices can be lost in the noise, there are individuals like Stephen Stewart and his team who stand up, take action, and make a difference.

Stephen Stewart joined the Board of Directors in 2024 and is a longtime supporter of The 100 Club of Central Texas and local first responders. He is the founding member of The Stewart Law Firm, in Austin, and handles cases involving catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and defective products. Stephen received his BBA-Finance and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Texas Tech University. He currently resides in Austin with his wife, Ginger.

From volunteering at local organizations to sponsoring events that benefit important causes, our team is dedicated to making a positive impact wherever we can.

We at The Stewart Law Firm take great pride in being on the front line in fighting for victims’ rights. We handle cases involving catastrophic personal injuries, wrongful death, defective products, and child sexual abuse cases across Texas and the nation.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the ways we are making a positive impact on our Austin community.

One of the cornerstones of our community involvement is our ongoing partnership with The Central Texas Food Bank. We’re proud to roll up our sleeves and volunteer our time to help fight hunger in our area. Whether sorting food donations or assisting with distribution events, we’re committed to doing our part to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.

Tragedy struck in Arlington, Texas, when a three-year-old boy named Bakari Williams fell victim to a rare brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria Fowleri at a public splash pad. We exert our efforts to ensure the safety of splash pad facilities and prevent such tragedies in the future.

With the help of The Stewart Law Firm, the family of Bakari filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city. After extensive litigation, a settlement was reached between the family and the City of Arlington, announced on March 31, 2022.

We believe in supporting the causes that matter most to our community, which is why we’re proud sponsors of the 2023 Annual Crawfish Festival. This lively event brings together friends and neighbors for a day of fun and serves as a fundraiser for our Texas Game Wardens. By sponsoring the festival, we’re able to contribute to the important work of these dedicated individuals who protect our natural resources and wildlife.

MADD’s Power Talk 21 Day is an initiative designed to empower parents to have open conversations with their teens about the dangers of alcohol. Recently, The Stewart Law Firm proudly supported a press conference held by MADD at the Austin Police Department, showcasing the success of this program. Volunteers, including The Stewart Law Firm members, shared statistics, survey results, and personal stories to highlight the importance of parental involvement in preventing teen drinking and driving incidents. MADD provides resources and guides for parents to initiate these crucial conversations through its website.

Attorney Stephen Stewart serves as Chairman of the Advisory Board for MADD-Texas, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to MADD’s mission. In addition to supporting Power Talk 21 Day, The Stewart Law Firm actively participates in MADD’s Power of Parents program, providing valuable legal insights and resources to empower parents in their efforts to keep their teens safe.
