Prompt Response, Thorough Advice

Ed Schwartz has been a great resource for our company over the last few years. We can count on Ed for prompt responses to our questions regarding environmental issues we face in connection with property acquisitions and development, and he has been particularly helpful in managing the legal issues in...volved with navigating Georgia's Brownfield program. His advice and explanations are always thorough and easy to understand and leave us with the confidence we need to take decisive action. This is exactly the type of service we need.

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.
