Mr Swanson is great at communicating with his client.
I highly recommend Mr Swanson when looking for a lawyer. I went in not knowing much about the process and whether or not I needed a lawyer. Chase explained everything and made sure I understood what was happening the whole length of my case. I always felt like I could call him or email with questi...

Satisfied with my representation
Came to Chase via referral from a friend who also had a successful case/experience with Swanson & Jones. Contacted Chase in November of 2016 less than a week after my accident. He immediately got me in to see a doctor and attend physical therapy. Chase seemed genuinely concerned about not just my cas...
