Cawanna got us sorted out

Cawanna McMichael was a beacon of hope to my friend's family at a time when their options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh impossible. Not only was she able to defend this family totally from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered em...otional succor to them. Cawanna is very detailed, connected, responds to calls in a timely manner and supports her client every step of the way. Every dollar paid for this service is worth the quality and commitment of service Camlaw rendered. Our thanks also go to her secretary/staff, Dawn who is exceptional and down-to-earth. My friend's family and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby strongly recommend Ms. McMichael without reservation for any criminal-related legal needs. I will rehire Cawanna a million times.

Cawanna McMichael

There are not enough words to say how amazing with wonderful lady is. From the first meeting I was able to tell how passionate she was for her clients and how much of a go getter she was going to be. She represented me for my TPO and by the time it was all said and done she was representing me for my... Divorce and criminal charges. Definitely in it to win for her clients. I will be using her any time I need an attorney.

CAM LAW

Ms. Cawanna represented me with two felony charges I had pending for two years. I hired her in the last 6 months or less before the final sentencing I had two felonies (facing 14 years max) I finished with receiving 2 months and 8 years probation but I get off in 3 with good behavior. she was so hel...pful with my payments and was never trying to waste time. Lawyers like her are different; you can tell when there is an understanding Some of what lawyers can do can be considered “game time decisions” being able to trust one to be versatile in the field is exactly what you want.

Highly Recommend

Ms. McMichael far exceeded my expectations as a lawyer. I had 2 charges (1 misdemeanor and 1 felony). The felony charge was an “unbondable” offense. She not only got the bond on that felony charge after only 4 days of incarceration, but she got the bond as a misdemeanor bond amount. Staying up front ...and honest about everything, she worked diligently on my case, ultimately getting both charges dismissed, with me only having to pay court costs. I would recommend Ms McMichael to anyone needing legal representation!

Beyond 100%

I met with Ms. McMichael for my son who was in jail. He made some bad choices and we were certain that he would be serving several years. I scheduled a consultation to meet with her and several other attorneys in town. I met with Ms. McMichael and cancelled all of the other appointments I had made.... I felt she was the one! As it turned out, that was the best decision I could’ve made. Due to her intelligence, professionalism, diligence and determination my son was given a second chance to become a productive member of society (which he is doing). I can’t express my gratitude in words. I can only recommend Ms. McMichael to anyone needing legal representation. In my opinion she is, by far, the BEST criminal defense lawyer around. Thank you, Ms. McMichael.

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."
