Giving Back to the Community

25TH YEAR OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY

Community involvement has been a tradition at Stewart Law Offices. To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, the law firm is dedicating each month this year to highlight different charities and organizations in the community. Their goal is to bring more awareness and inspire others to join them in supporting and building better communities across North and South Carolina.

Since being founded in 1995, Stewart Law Offices has dedicated its professional efforts towards helping injured people. But effective representation doesn’t happen without compassion and caring of those in need — and that caring extends far beyond office doors and courtrooms. It flows into the communities they serve. Supporting the community makes everyone involved stronger.

Everyone has an opportunity to be a good citizen. It can start with something as simple as picking up litter on the sidewalk or volunteering time at the local animal shelter. It all adds up.

Children's Attention Home

When it comes to abuse and neglect in South Carolina, children are one of the most vulnerable populations. Fortunately, our state is blessed with an organization that has spent the last 50 years providing loving services to children in need. This month, Stewart Law Offices honors the hard work done at Children’s Attention Home in Rock Hill.

Since 1970, Children’s Attention Home has cared for abused and neglected children in South Carolina. It serves youth from birth to age 21 who have been placed in custody of the S.C. Department of Social Services, with most children ages 13 and older.

Kids' Chance of South Carolina

The workers’ compensation attorneys at Stewart Law Offices understand how a workplace accident can change the lives of families forever. That’s why we’ve chosen March to highlight and share our support for Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships to children of workers who were injured or killed on the job.

Since 1992, Kids’ Chance has awarded more than $1.1 million in scholarships to eligible students seeking to attend college or vocational schools after graduating from high school. But the need for additional support to South Carolinians is great. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows there were 32,800 workplace injuries or illnesses recorded in South Carolina in a recent year. Of that number, an astounding 57 percent of those cases were considered severe.

Medical Debt Relief

Stewart Law Offices recently partnered with RIP Medical Debt to alleviate medical debt for 480 families struggling in Richland, Lexington and Lancaster, S.C. counties.

RIP Medical Debt is an organization that accepts contributions to assist families who have incurred vast amounts of medical debt with little means to repay it. According to the nonprofit’s website, every day 79 million Americans must choose between paying their medical bills or meeting basic needs such as food and shelter.
