Since starting his firm in 1999, Stewart J. Guss has had the honor of representing clients from all over the world, helping them recover from even the most catastrophic injuries. It all began with just one employee: himself. He made the coffee in the morning, sent all his own faxes, typed all his own briefs, and answered all his own calls.
Stewart’s father instilled in him a perspective he’s carried throughout his life and career: everyone matters, everyone is important, and everyone should be treated with respect.
Today, thanks to a strong belief in the values of compassion, respect, and approachability, the firm has grown to employ over 100 legal professionals in numerous offices across four states, with a nationwide reach.
Stewart grew up in Clear Lake City in Greater Houston, where his father worked for NASA. After graduating from Clear Lake High School, Stewart went on to obtain his Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Texas at Austin. Following additional graduate study at the Red McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas, he earned his Juris Doctor Degree from the University of Houston Law Center.
Stewart is an active member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, as well as numerous other professional organizations. With over 30 years practicing personal injury law, Stewart’s professional accomplishments have been nationally recognized: The National Association of Distinguished Counsel ranked him as one of the top one percent of personal injury attorneys in the country in 2015. The National Trial Lawyers listed him as one of the top 100 trial lawyers in the nation in 2016. He’s been featured as one of the “Best Attorneys in America” by the prestigious Rue Ratings since 2015. Stewart has also been designated one of the Top Personal Injury Attorneys by Houstonia Magazine for every year since it began publishing its rankings.
