Great all around experience

I am a lawyer. I met Jeff Schwimmer more than 25 years ago. We were on opposite sides of a trial that lasted for weeks. I was so impressed with his ability, that I referred family and friends to his office. Everyone has been happy with the results. When I was injured in a trip and fall, I did not hes...itate to retain him. I got more money than I ever expected. He was always attentive and available. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

Mr. Schwimmer Was My Savior!

I suffered a fractured leg when I tripped over a broken sidewalk. I hired a law firm that claimed to be the best at winning these type of cases. All they did was make one mistake after another, and also let my case lag around for a long time. I consulted with Mr. Schwimmer, who took over as my att...orney, and wound up getting an excellent result due to his relentless efforts, and in a short period of time. He always made me feel comfortable and confident in what he was doing for me. He really cares about his clients. I whole heartedly recommend Mr. Schwimmer to anyone involved in any kind of accident.

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.
