Lawyer Bio

Chuck is a trial lawyer of over 32 years whose practice focuses primarily in the defense of national and international corporations in product liability, employment, toxic tort, commercial, intellectual property, and catastrophic personal injury matters. Licensed in Alabama and Tennessee, Chuck’s extensive litigation experience is national in scope. He has handled a wide variety of cases in Alabama, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas, California, Massachusetts, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Oklahoma, and Utah.

Although most of his cases fall into one of the aforementioned categories, Chuck has also successfully tried several other types of complex cases, including a six-week-long class action price-fixing case, a racial steering case involving the sale of real estate, and a breach of contract and fraud matter filed against a company by its group health insurer. He successfully defended the trial of a start-up corporation in a lawsuit brought by a major movie distributor, involving claims of copyright infringement, intentional interference with contractual relations, deceptive trade practices, and breach of contract. Chuck has also represented attorneys, hospitals, and architects in actions alleging malpractice.

Chuck’s product liability matters include defending manufacturers, distributors, component part suppliers, and retailers in cases involving allegations of defective cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, large trucks, seat belts, air bags, tires, building products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, HVAC systems, boats, and elevators. His employment trials include claims for lifetime employment and wrongful termination, as well as race, color, sex, disability, pregnancy, FMLA, and age discrimination.

He also acts as national trial counsel for a building products manufacturer. In that capacity, Chuck has defended cases in numerous states across the country.

"Without question, Chuck is the best trial lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to work with in my 15-plus years of managing lawsuits. Fortunately, it has been over three years since our Company has been involved in active litigation, but I still e-mail Chuck weekly to maintain our relationship. I consider Chuck to be a true professional to his industry, as well as a person I can trust and depend on as a friend."

David Tremblay, Murray Guard Inc., Jackson

"I have had the pleasure of working with Chuck Stewart for more than 15 years. We first worked together as co-counsel on regional product liability matters while I was in private practice. Now that I am in-house with Michelin, we work together in a lawyer-client relationship. Chuck is a talented and thoughtful lawyer, and I have always valued both his wise counsel and litigation skills - especially in the most difficult jurisdictions. He is an aggressive advocate, while retaining the balance and professionalism required to deal with the most difficult situations. Our interests are well represented by Chuck."

Daniel Sanders, Michelin, Clermont
