Review

Attorney Swain helped me with an incredibly complex injury matter and was able to acquire a large settlement that helped me and my family immensely. I highly recommend Attorney Swain for any matter as he is incredibly intelligent and relieved all of my stress compared to the Attorney I had previous.

Posted by anonymous | January 12, 2023 | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

Wish there were a zero star rating

So long as you pay him, Andrew Swain will violate even the most basic of ethics to protect and assist the worst our society has to offer...and he'll still fail to protect his clients' confidentiality! Due to this reprehensible conduct, a disbarment is imminent. If you'd like for me to substantiate ...these claims, you can email me at: ASExposed (at) proton (dot) me

Posted by Serge | May 05, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Highly experienced and professional

Mr. Swain helped me out with a fairly complex case, from beginning to the end, which resulted in a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Swain for his legal competency and expertise.

Posted by Drew | January 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Caring, Intelligent and just an exceptional level of service. We have been so very impressed with Andrew and his staff.

My wife, Lynne , and I have been so very impressed with The Swain Law Firm. I met Andrew Swain after a serious auto accident in 2015. We were very pleased with the settlement Andrew reached this past year and I can say that over the 3 years working with Andrew and his associates, the level of serv...ice has been nothing but exceptional. Whenever I had a question, it was typically answered the same day. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable always took the time to explain things in detail. I also had the pleasure of working with Attorney Christopher Bradley. Lastly, I have to mention Karen Kerrigan. She has been a blessing and is so very caring and professional. Always fighting and on our side. Saying I've been impressed with her work is an understatement. Caring, intelligent and professional people. I highly recommend them.

Mr. Andrew Swain, ESQ>

Attorney Swain is an excellent attorney and his law firm is one of the most professional and intelligent group of lawyers assembled based on the legal help received from Attorney Swain. Attorney Swain provided legal advice and service beyond what I was able to afford for a law suit from a individual ...who claimed she fell on a property I previously owned. His superior knowledge of the law and the legal excellence he provided helped me mitigate the case to an excellent result. I highly recommend Attorney Swain for any case that he and/or his firm handles. A great legal mind and an even greater person. He is a true steward of the law and would not hesitate to use Mr. Swain in the future. Thank you, William

Medical malpractice lawyer | Jan 04

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."

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.
