I've been working with families ever since I started practicing law in January of 2006. My first job as an attorney was as a Family Advocate Attorney for five years at an agency called East Baltimore Development, Inc. When I formed the Stewart Law Office in 2011, I soon became attracted to assisting clients in their divorces. I then made it the primary focus of the firm.. I feel honored to have the privilege of being a divorce attorney because of my own personal experiences. These experiences have been my own journey through challenges and successes; often times through difficulties that seemingly lasted too long and while in the middle of them I felt lost and discouraged.. I have realized in my own life, when I became brave enough to walk through these struggles, I was then able to find the blessings inside of my own challenges. I know how difficult it can be to even begin to lean into the fear of these problems that are right in front of us. It can take so much courage and faith just to decide to move forward, to even take that first step; especially for the client who has been paralyzed by the dilemma of their marriage and custody problems but knows with all their being that they somehow need to move forward. At the Stewart Law Office we provide empathy, hope, strength and legal counsel to our clients in assisting them in walking through one of the most difficult challenges in their lives while supporting them to look for the blessings inside of their difficulties.

In 1986, Doug became a partner in the firm of Turnbull, Mix & Farmer. A large portion of his practice was in the area of civil litigation for several years thereafter, on both the plaintiff and defendant’s behalf.
