Excellent!!!!

CAM law handled my cases with great communication in a time effective manner. They were very thorough in making sure I understood all proceedings involved with my case. They conduct with themselves with professional excellence and but make you feel like family as well. For any other future legal matt...ers I will definitely use them again without hesitation.

Colorado

I’m writing this on behalf’s of my fiancé! She remained professional and consistent with everything, that came up along the way in my case. Her responding time, was always in a rapid manner! When I arrived to Georgia from Colorado my fiancé and I drove. So we needed things to move a bit quicker than ...it normally would go. She meet us early before to discuss and go over everything one last time and a chance to also answer and ask questions. Once in the court room she then double checked that what we spoke about was going to be okay with the judge and then informed us that we need to switch to what the Jude suggested. We also received a speedy probation transfer back to Colorado and everything moved in an expeditious manner. Thanks so much Cawanna for making this a smooth and somewhat pleasant experience. Sincerely, Larry & Ashley

Up Front Evaluation and Outcome

I contacted Ms. McMichael through word of mouth. I was picked up for a DUI which would have undoubtedly ended my career. I explained to her my circumstance, and she told me all the in's ad out's up front. There was no "bs" and the pricing was fair. She got my DUI reduced to a reckless driving as pro...mised, and saved my hide.

Just simply amazing

Words cannot describe how honored I was to have Mrs. Cawanna represent me. I would recommend her to anyone out there that needs the job done. She’s very professional at everything she does & she always stays in touch to let you know how everything’s going. She has an amazing personality & she actuall...y listens to what’s going on thoroughly. She definitely keeps her word as well. I’d definitely say she’s the BEST in all of the state of Georgia as well. So I would like to personally thank Mrs. Cawanna & her team for representing me & if I ever need her again I won’t hesitate to call

Ms. McMichael was truly Godsent. She is a very caring and dedicated Attorney.

I highly recommend Ms. McMichael. She was my son's attorney. Because of his young age, she understood that the outcome of this situation could affect his life in the future. She was upfront and honest with us pertaining to the case, and did everything she could to make sure that whatever the outcome,... he would still be able to have a productive future. I always say Ms. McMichael was Godsent. We believe in prayer and we asked God to put people in our lives that could help our son. The Judge changed and his defense attorneys also kept changing, 4 times to be exact, with Ms. McMichael being the 4th. She accomplished what many people said was impossible. Even the DA and the judge had to admit that it was "divine intervention". Ms. McMichael is very professional and dedicated to her job and she cares about her clients. She stays in contact with you about everything that is going on. She will do her best to get the best outcome possible. We are and will always be forever grateful to Ms. McMichael for what she did for us. My son will be graduating this year and he is very active in the Usher and Youth ministries at church. She gave my son a second chance for a bright future.

"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."

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.
