Great Client Experience

I had an outstanding experience working with the law office of Richard Swartz. From the very first moment I contacted them, they provided me with clear, thoughtful guidance. Attorney Richard Swartz and his paralegal Stacy Cortes. (SWARTZ SWIDLER, LLC.) were incredibly professional and attentive, offe...ring excellent feedback on my case every step of the way. Mr. Swartz took the time to review my documents thoroughly and even followed up with an email, offering his assistance with the EEOC process should I need further help. His dedication and proactive approach made me feel confident and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking reliable, expert legal assistance.

Avvo Rating

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.
