From the moment I contacted Jill Schwartz and Associates, I have been impressed by their professionalism and attentiveness to my case. The entire team working on my case was caring, attentive, and responsive. Jill, John and Amy were absolutely a delight to work with. I never felt like “just another c...ase”. Instead, they spent the time with me to explain my options and offer their professional advice. They made me feel comfortable about the process, and alleviated my concerns employment law. They also provided me the space to make my decisions without feeling pressured. I was kept informed every step of the way. I feel choosing Schwartz and Associates to handle my case was the right decision. Their beautiful and professional law office is also set within a convenient location in Winter Park. If you choose Jill and her team, you won’t regret it!

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.
