• How much does it cost to hire Stewart for a agriculture case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Stewart walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Stewart offer a free consultation?

• How long do agriculture cases in District of Columbia typically take?

  Simple agriculture matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Stewart gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Stewart take my case if I'm outside Washington?

  Stewart is licensed in District of Columbia. Matters governed by District of Columbia law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Stewart will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Stewart?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Stewart will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Stewart accepting new agriculture clients right now?

  Stewart's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
