Compassionate and Understanding

Jill and Chris were not only outstanding attorneys, but truly compassionate people during one of the most difficult periods of my life. They were patient, kind, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They moved with urgency and treated me like I was their only client. When I felt overwhelmed or pan...icked, Jill’s calm guidance brought clarity and reassurance. I’m deeply grateful for their support and advocacy.

Had my Best Interests in Mind!

A personal friend who is also an attorney referred me to your firm for counsel. I’ve never had a reason to contact an Attourney before for an employment issue, but very glad I did reach out. Aaron was thorough, friendly and listened intently to help me determine if I needed representation or not. I e...nded up successfully resolving my issue on my own but Aaron’s counsel was extremely helpful and made me feel he had my best interest in mind, even if it meant I may not actually need to retain the firm. Because of this, if I ever need a law firm in the future, I will be going to no one but your firm. Thank you for your help!

Outstanding Service and Support

The team at Jill S. Schwartz & Associates, P.A. exceeded every expectation. Their professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support were unmatched. Throughout a very personal and emotional case, I was adopting my 14-year-old cousin, they not only provided expert legal guidance, but also checked in ...regularly, kept communication open, and made my family feel truly cared for. Thank you for being there every step of the way and treating us like more than just clients—you made us feel like family. I’m forever grateful.

Graceful, tactful, persistent

I wanted to commend Aaron, without his attentive attitude and compassionate response, I would have likely been too afraid to go forward with this. He was always patient, and never made me feel pressured or rushed to explain anything. Those first moments when I called to explain I was let go were b...ig for me, and having a calm person on the other end patiently waiting for me to get it together was incredibly helpful but also necessary. Thank you Lauren and Beverly for also answering each question to a T, never over or under explaining anything. You ladies are so respectful and kind. And Jill, I was incredibly impressed with her demeanor and poise. What a great attorney, I'm genuinely so glad that I chose you and your firm. You had such great tact and grace with the situation, I couldn't imagine it going any better than it did.

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.
