Stewart was my first client to take a real chance on me. Back in March 2022, before Legal Guardian had a name — when it was still just an idea called Mumarkt Co. — Stewart followed me out of the agency world and said, “Let’s do this.” At the time, he believed in me more than I believed in myself. I’ll never forget that.
He’s the kind of attorney who reminds you why the profession matters. Harvard-educated. Clear-eyed. Grounded. More Atticus Finch than salesman. He doesn’t cut corners, and he’s never chased shiny objects. All he wanted was to build a sustainable firm rooted in service — and he believed SEO was the way.
He’d seen the other side. Years before we met, Stewart had hired a big-name agency — Scorpion Design — and came out the other side disillusioned and mistreated. So he taught himself just enough SEO to know when he was being lied to. Since then, he’s been fiercely protective of his brand.
For the past three years, Stewart hasn’t run ads. He hasn’t relied on social media. Just SEO. And now he doesn’t even need to check his rankings — the leads flow like clockwork. He’s completely taken over the Phoenix DUI market. We’ve watched his site evolve, his caseload grow, and his brand dominate.
“Within a year of working with Austin, he was able to double my website traffic and get my website ranked on the top spot of Google for hundreds of highly competitive (and valuable) transactional key words.”
But what’s mattered most to me is what’s happened around the work: I’ve watched Stewart grow his firm, get engaged, get married, and start a family. Through it all, he’s stayed steady — showing up with clarity, warmth, and trust. He’s a good man to do business with and a better man to know.
Working with Stewart has been more than a client relationship. It’s been a friendship. One that helped launch Legal Guardian, and one I’ll always be grateful for.
