Highly Reccomend, Ms. McMichael is a saint!

My son got into some trouble and I needed help. I searched the web for a lawyer dealing with the same situation as my son. Very few lawyers popped-up but thankfully Ms. McMichael was one of them. He was being given an EXTREME punishment and Ms. McMichael pointed out all the wrong doing within the pr...ocess of what my son was going through. I felt hopeless and helpless for my son as this was going to potentially ruin his future. She was able to get the punishment down to what we (my son and I) "expected" it to be or what we felt "fit" the crime AND we were able to get him back into school WIN WIN! I cannot express my gratitude towards Ms. McMichael.... she is very kind, friendly, understanding, caring, etc., etc. but she is also very knowledgeable and believe me when I say if there is something that comes across her table that she doesn't know the most about.... SHE RESEARCHES! :) She researches and gets the answers needed! She is also very fair on price as we didn't have to go to "court" as expected but when we found out we no longer had to go to "court" she reduced the price accordingly (and that greatly helps a single mom!)!I hope I don't need a lawyer in the future but if I do I will def. come back to Ms. McMichael. I cannot say enough about the great experience I had.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 10

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."

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.
