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. (Oh, and he cleaned the coffee pot at the end of the day too!)

I’m Jewish, so I was raised by a “Jewish mother.” For those not familiar with the stereotype, they are ALWAYS overprotective (eat some soup, you’re too skinny, or put on a sweater, it’s cold, etc.) It has always been part of who I am to try and look out for others, to help others when they need help, and this area of the law gave me the perfect opportunity to do so.
Since I can’t sing, I can’t dance, I can’t draw or sculpt, the way I express myself creatively is as a cook and mixologist, and I take great pride in those skills!

I usually catch up with the remainder of my work week while sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee and relaxing with the pups. After that, I usually get in a workout, run some errands, and then always try to find time to relax outside, when possible. Sunday mornings are for blues music in our house, and Sunday afternoons are for rest!
We spend absolutely every moment of every workday looking to protect the legal interests of our clients and move their cases forward. More than that, a “client first” approach means ensuring we treat our clients the way we would like to be treated. We strive to promptly return all calls and emails, we go out of our way to explain — and sometimes OVER explain — to our clients their legal rights and options. Bottom line: we want to treat all of our clients as if we were representing our own family.
