MEET OUR ATTORNEYS

Cheryl A. Stewart

Attorney

Cheryl A Stewart graduated, with honors, from Chapman University, receiving a dual degree in Philosophy and Legal Studies. While working toward her PhD at USC, Ms. Stewart was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Fellowship for the Sustainable Cities program.  Ms. Stewart found that, in the world of strict academia, problem solving was based in written theory.  She desired to be in the trenches of life, solving real-world problems one person at a time. As a result, Ms. Stewart declined her dissertation and took a Master’s degree.  This decision propelled her into law school, where she found that she could combine the academic and theoretic study with the real-life practice of law. Ms. Stewart is a dedicated student of the law, and fiercely loyal to her clients and friends alike.  She knows that when a client requires the aid of an attorney, it is because of a crossroads in that client’s life.  Ms. Stewart believes the relationship between attorney and client should be viewed as a sacred trust. Because of her graduate training and extensive research background, Ms. Stewart comes to the practice of law with years of experience in research, writing, and problem solving.   Ms. Stewart has experience in a wide array of domestic matters including, but not limited to, dissolution of marriage, restraining orders, post-judgment modification of custody and support, and prenuptial agreements. Ms. Stewart is a member of the California, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Bar Associations.
