Aaron J. Stewart

Aaron J. Stewart was born and raised in Chico, California. He received his higher education from schools located on the East Coast. Upon returning to California, Mr. Stewart began his legal career in Palo Alto, CA as an associate of Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP—a prestigious Manhattan-based law firm. Mr. Stewart worked in their London, New York and Palo Alto offices.

Acting on a long-held ambition of owning his own business, Mr. Stewart established the Law Offices of Aaron J. Stewart in his hometown of Chico, CA—thereby making the most of the example set by his late father Ronald E. Stewart when he first created his own law firm.
