Biography

Stephen Suggs is an attorney with Stewart Law Offices in Columbia, South Carolina, where he represents individuals and families in complex civil litigation. For more than 20 years, Stephen has focused his legal career on advocating for people rather than corporations, with an emphasis on holding wrongdoers accountable through the civil justice system.

Stephen began his career representing victims of medical malpractice, gaining valuable experience in cases involving serious injuries and wrongful conduct by healthcare providers. He later stepped away from for-profit practice to work with a civil rights non-profit organization, where he handled litigation aimed at ending discriminatory practices, challenging repeated utility rate increases for electric service, and protecting access to essential unemployment benefits. This work strengthened his commitment to public service and litigation on behalf of individuals facing powerful institutions.

After more than a decade in public interest and civil rights litigation, Stephen returned to private practice and discovered a strong passion for representing workers injured on the job. Today, his practice includes Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants, and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs. He works closely with clients to help them navigate the legal process and pursue compensation for injuries caused by negligence or unsafe conditions.

As a Columbia, South Carolina attorney with Stewart Law Offices, Stephen is dedicated to providing clear communication, careful preparation, and diligent representation throughout every stage of a case. His practice is grounded in advocacy, accountability, and a commitment to helping clients move forward after life-altering injuries.
