Helpful, caring, professional

Matt Swanson helped us with Chapter 13- he was so helpful, non-judgemental and friendly. It really helped getting through a tough time. He clearly has a lot of experience with the process and made everything easy for us. When going to the hearing you see a lot of lawyers working for their clients and... in comparison Matt was very organized, prepared and put together- this is something the judge really appreciates and so did we.

Matthew Swanson,Esq.

Mr. Swanson offered a free one hour consultation to advise of my best option. He helped me file for personal bankruptcy taking me step by step, answering all my questions and concerns and appearing with me in court. He followed up all my questions by phone and email and was accommodating with times f...or office visits to complete paperwork. He was very compassionate and professional and understood how hard the situation was for me. His fees were very reasonable and explained up front. Very pleased with his services.

Bankruptcy Chapter 13

I received several letters in the mail from different attorney's. However, there was something very professional about Mr. Swanson letter, that stood out from the others. From my initial contact with Mr. Swanson to having my first meeting. Mr. Swanson has been very positive, and professional. ...I had lots of questions, and not knowing with to expect, Mr. Swanson provided me with helpful information that gave me a feeling of tranquility. He explained specific about my situation, and outline all the "Pros and Cons" of the Bankruptcy process. He requested that I take my time to review the information, before making any decisions. Once I left his office, I contacted him with several questions, and every time he was available to provide me with a response. Having made my decision to enter into the Bankruptcy process with Mr. Swanson, was the best decision I could of made for my family. His professionalism remains the same from my first telephone contact, to my initial meeting to current.
