About Brian Stewart

Brian C. Stewart represents clients in car crashes, medical injury, wrongful death, and other personal injury matters at Parker & McConkie. His motivation for this work is personal: his father died as a result of dangerous, defective products, and Brian has also experienced serious injury and recovery firsthand. That background shapes the way he approaches each client's situation, with an emphasis on honest communication and fully fought-for results. Before joining the firm, Brian worked in finance and has also taught. He lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, Kelly, and their four children.
