EXCELLENT Experience (Consumer Law)

I reached out to Louis regarding a bait and switch scam I was the victim of in May 2021. LOUIS WAS AWESOME. He answered my emails and calls pretty much immediately, guided me through the entire process (even on the weekend) and got me a FULL refund back. He called everything before it happened and wi...thout his help I most definitely would have had a disaster on my hands. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH- Vanessa Branca

Fraudulent lien

Louis was my lawyer on a fraudulent mechanic lien case. He did almost no leg work on the case, presented none of the evidence we gave him causing us to lose. Then when we questioned what happened. He stated we were hostile and presented fraudulent evindence. Stay away from this lawyer

Louis Schwartz: A+ at Traffic Court

Unfortunately, I received a traffic ticket for illegally passing a school bus. A guilty plea or verdict on this violation equates to a $400+ fine, 60 day license suspension, and 5 points on your drivers license. I pled not guilty and appeared by myself at the hearing. I was not given any considera...tion to make a deal and felt as though my side of the story was heard during the initial hearing. I appealed the guilty verdict and realized I needed an attorney to represent me at the appeal hearing. I did my research online and called Louis Schwartz. Louis contacted me within an hour of my initial call. He was able to hear me out and asked many questions to be able to fully understand my situation and took the time to answer any questions I had. Communication between him and I leading up to the trial was excellent, even over a holiday weekend. I met with Louis one hour before the hearing and he once again had me take him through the situation related to the ticket. He was honest and straightforward with the possible scenarios and his planned course of action. Our initial plan was to try to work out a deal with the ADA to lower the charges. The ADA was not able to lower the ticket and Louis then attempted to side bar with the judge and the ADA to again see if anything could be done to lower the ticket. Again, the ADA wanted to proceed. During the trial, the cop that issued the ticket was very descriptive when explaining the scenario he claimed to remember. Louis was able to dissect the police officer's testimony to show that my vision was obstructed, as I had claimed, and was unable to see the bus at the time. I was found not guilty of the ticket, my fine will be refunded to me and I don't have to worry about a license suspension or points on my drivers license. I felt as though Louis was attentive to detail and I was well represented. I am certain if I attempted to represent myself, this would not have been the outcome. The cost of his representation was very affordable as well. Although, the situation as I explained above is a very specific situation, I feel as though Louis was an excellent attorney from start to finish and I would highly recommend him.

Good Lawyer

At this present time, I have hired Louis to represent me with a situation regarding PA Labor and the State. I'm hoping he will be able to bring this matter to a win-win situation. So far, though, he's been great with sending me the material I need and taking me step-by-step on what could be accomplis...hed. So as I write this review, I'm confident with having him on my side, where he will represent me to the fullest of his ability.

would not use Louis Schwartz again

Hired Louis Schwartz to represent me in traffic court. He showed up late and never kept me aware of dates that was set. In the end I had to fire him and do the job myself.
