This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest and Realistic Advice

I am an out of state attorney with a son that got into trouble in Atlanta area. I consulted with Mr. Schwartz after seeing his high reviews. His legal read of the case was Excellent in my opinion and so was his advice. He was realistic about the situation and spoke frankly about the way forward. The... issue is not currently being litigated but if and when it does get to that point i have Mr Schwartz on speed dial and will be hiring him on behalf of my son. If you are looking to hire an attorney give him a call and find out for yourself. He promptly returned all of my phone calls, which attorneys failed to do.

Professional

Mr. Schwartz represented a family member, he did what he stated he would do, and he followed everything through until the end. All transactions were most professional.

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.
