About Us
Personalized Planning. Trusted Guidance.
At Steward Legal, APC, we believe estate planning is about more than just documents—it’s about people, families, and futures. Based in Temecula, California, our firm is dedicated to helping individuals and families across Southern California create personalized plans that protect what matters most.
Steward Legal was built on the principle that clients deserve straightforward advice, responsive service, and legal solutions that reflect their values. We focus exclusively on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, and trust administration—so you can make confident, informed decisions every step of the way.
Whether you're planning for your children, aging parents, or simply seeking peace of mind, our mission is to guide you through the process with clarity, compassion, and competence.

Our Firm
Joseph Steward was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he learned early on the importance of honesty in serving clients. His father—also named Joseph and an attorney—instilled in him the principle that clients should be told what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear. Joseph takes pride in his unwavering honesty and brings the same passion to his work that he developed growing up in the vibrant and demanding environment of Philadelphia.
Joseph, his wife Koreen, and their son enjoy spending time outdoors under the Southern California sun, often accompanied by their two dogs—a playful Weimaraner named Ziggy and a Great Dane named Prime.
