Recognized by her peers as a "Super Lawyer" and/or "Leading Lawyer" for every year from 2007-2012, Ms. Stewart-Page has established a successful litigation practice in the areas of ethics and professional liability, ARDC defense, and commercial litigation.  

After graduating from Northwestern University's School of Law in 1994, Ms. Stewart-Page served as a prosecutor at the ARDC where she investigated and tried numerous attorney disciplinary cases. In 1999, she was promoted to Senior Counsel to the Administrator of the ARDC, a position she held until leaving the ARDC for private practice.

In 2002, she joined the law firm of prominent trial attorney Donald Hubert, where she was promoted to partner in 2005 and litigated a wide range of sophisticated matters. For example, she represented the City of Chicago in a high-profile police brutality case, was appointed as a Special Assistant Attorney General to represent the Illinois Gaming Board and successfully defeated claims for injunctive relief sought by Emerald Casino, and obtained a favorable settlement for a private business in a lawsuit filed by the State's Attorney's Office alleging multiple violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act. At the Gloor Law Group, Ms. Stewart-Page has represented numerous corporate clients in litigation matters, including Exelon Corporation, one of the nation's largest electric utilities.  

Ms. Stewart-Page has testified as an expert in legal ethics and regularly advises and represents governmental entities, corporations, law firms, and individual lawyers in ethics matters. For example, she has conducted internal ethics investigations, including "Himmel" investigations, for some of the largest law firms in Chicago. She has also represented attorneys and law firms in relation to motions to disqualify, fee disputes, and partnership matters. Ms. Stewart-Page regularly represents attorneys before the ARDC and recently won a directed finding and dismissal of the charges against her client at trial before the Hearing Board. She thereafter also successfully argued in favor of the affirmation of the Hearing Board's decision on appeal before the Review Board. Ms. Stewart-Page also represents individuals before the Committee on Character & Fitness. She has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in professional liability matters, obtaining a $3.5 million settlement in a case involving architectural negligence, and a $500,000 settlement in a legal malpractice matter involving representation in a divorce case.
