John Stewart, Jr.

Knowledgeable and effective counsel for a complex malpractice claim

I was referred to John Stewart, Jr. at Pugh Accardo LLC when my professional practice faced a significant malpractice lawsuit in Louisiana. The situation was incredibly stressful, and I needed an attorney who understood the specific nuances of defending professionals. Mr. Stewart's five years of focused experience in this area were immediately apparent. He provided clear, strategic counsel that was both reassuring and grounded in a deep understanding of the law. His recognition in tax law also proved unexpectedly beneficial, as some financial aspects of the claim intertwined with tax implications, and he navigated that complexity seamlessly. Throughout the process, he was a steadfast advocate, explaining each step thoroughly and preparing a robust defense that ultimately led to a favorable settlement. My only minor critique is that during the initial, very busy phase of the case, there were occasional delays in email responses, which added to my anxiety. However, his paralegal was good about providing status updates, and once engaged, Mr. Stewart was always comprehensive in his communication. I highly recommend him to any professional in Louisiana seeking a capable and knowledgeable defense attorney. He is a true asset to the firm and his clients.
