Effective and Professional Lawyer

Attorney Swiggart represented my soon-to-be ex-spouse in a contentious divorce case. I was represented by a very well-known divorce firm. It soon became apparent that Attorney Swiggart had a much better grasp of the issues and personalities while clearly understanding how to get the job done effici...ently. Throughout her involvement in the case, she exhibited the highest ethical and professional standards, and no matter how heated things became, she was always polite to me and my lawyer while keeping her eye on the ball. In addition, she knows how to negotiate really well—and not all lawyers do.

I've been a client,and I've read the other reviews. All I can say is that when it came time to do my agreement, Swiggart was very thorough. She made sure that I read each of the paragraphs and understood all the terms. We had a very complicated divorce. I chose to settle rather than go to trial. ... But I knew what I was getting into. Did I take my ex "to the cleaners"? No-- but we got a fair settlement, saved a lot of legal fees, and we have had peace. Friends who went through a trial (with other lawyers) didn't get everything they wanted, either. At least we knew what we were getting.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
