Dagmar Pollex, Estate planning Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Jim Swain is one of the most caring and competent lawyers I have worked with. He combines a great degree of empathy along with top notch competence in providing elder law services and veteran's benefits to his clients. In addition he is a thought leader in the field of veteran's benefits and elder law and has trained many other attorneys in this field. I would gladly refer family or friends to Jim Swain.
