William D. Swain

My goal is to make the law more accessible to everyone and easier to understand, and to achieve my clients' legal goals. Most people are not meeting with a lawyer because they have received some great news, and I keep in mind that while this is just one of many cases for me, for the client, this is their life.

Whether you are seeking a simple divorce or need to untangle complex assets and relationships as part of your separation, I have the skill and determination to help you navigate the journey that is divorce. If you are having issues related to child custody or child support, I will help you reach an outcome that protects you and your family, whether that means litigation or settling the case outside of the courtroom.

As a professional, I pride myself on:

• Communicating effectively with clients so they understand the strengths and weaknesses of their case
• Being organized and deeply familiar with the facts of every case
• Being a strong advocate in the courtroom
• Encouraging negotiation and settlement when it is in the client's best interests
• Emotional intelligence and compassion
• Preparation, preparation, preparation...
