I would without hesitation recommend Cawanna to represent someone who needs a lawyer. She is a fighter and she has a lot of passion for her work. I absolutely endorse her.

Cawanna is an exceptional trial lawyer, and she obtains great results for her clients. I absolutely endorse this attorney.

When Cawanna became the first intern at Swindle Law Group, I was amazed. To this day, I have not seen a lawyer with more God given talent than her. For instance, Cawanna wrote a brief that I argued before the Supreme Court of Georgia. This was when she was a first year law student. She has grown into a tenacious warrior of the people who is second to none.

I highly recommend Attorney McMichael.
