Cynthia Stump Swanson

Swanson Law Firm represented me in an appeal of an estate-related case which was not a high-dollar matter. As the firm was smaller, I received focused attention and prompt replies to all inquiries from the staff- which was quite welcome after having had at least eight lawyers refuse to fight for me b...ecause they were too busy or because my case was not valuable enough to them to pursue. Ms. Swanson proved to be very approachable, well-versed in law applicable to my case, and did not waste my time nor the court's. She was highly effective in the courtroom. No razzle dazzle-just the facts, delivered succinctly- which won the case. She left choices on how to proceed up to me, and fully informed me of options and consequences. I believe, had I chosen to pursue my case further, I would have prevailed for much more money with Ms. Swanson's firm in my corner. My choice to win and be done was based on principle; Ms. Swanson both listened to and respected that in representing me.

Cynthia Swanson helped me through my divorce proceedings when my husband left me and I didn't see it coming -- I felt like a Mac truck hit me. I was in trauma and didn't know what to do. She picked up the legal side of things for me and worked with me to pay her back -- because I had nothing. It took... be about 5 years to pay her back because I went on to graduate school. I even left the state, but I always kept in touch with her and made it my goal to pay back what I owed, no matter how long it took me. I graduated with my PhD from University of Alabama and I am now a tenured professor at a university. I thank Cynthia for taking a chance on me and working with me.

I hired Cynthia to represent me in a child custody case. I wanted a lawyer who would take a balanced approach, and help me get what I wanted, without turning the case into a huge expensive lawsuit. Cynthia accomplished that just fine. She gave me an estimate of what it would take to bring the case... to trial, which was a price I could live with. Her estimate turned out to be accurate - she didn't "lowball" me. There were times when I wanted Cynthia to file more motions, but she talked me out of it, even though she could have made more money by just doing what I wanted. When confronting the lawyers on the other side, she was firm and assertive without being belligerent. I recommend Cynthias as an attorney who will give you good advice, represent you in a professional manner, and keep your case from spinning out of control.

Cynthia Stump Swanson is a wonderful, caring, dependable lawyer. The firm was always on top of things by keeping me well informed. Cynthia would constantly give me hope and provide good advice. Her experience with custody and persistence made that hope become a true reality. I always felt well ta...ken care of, but most importantly Cynthia always had my child's best interest at heart.
