Michael Lindner, Medical malpractice Attorney on Jan 4, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Over the years, I have a number of significant medical malpractice cases where I was the opposing attorney representing the doctor against Mr. Swain. Throughout those cases, up to and through trial, Mr. Swain presented a no-nonsense detailed approach to the litigation. No matter how much defense counsel would object, or try to deter Mr. Swain from obtaining information, he would continue on until he obtained the information he felt necessary for the case. If that meant that my client had to sit through a 6-7 hour deposition of question from Mr. Swain, then that is what happened. If you are looking for an attorney who will take all the necessary steps on your case, then Mr. Swain is an excellent choice.
Michael Saile, Medical malpractice Attorney on Jul 1, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Mr. Swain and I are members of the New Jersey Association for Justice. I have known Mr. Swain for a few years now and have referred medical malpractice cases to him. I find Mr. Swain to be at the cutting edge of trial law and extremely competent at his work. I recommend Andrew as a Bucks County medical malpractice lawyer.
