Couldnt Be More Thankful

Elizabeth Zwiebel is by far the best lawyer I have ever met and has an absolutely amazing team at her firm. I am so thankful I found them and hired them because my case couldnt have gone smoother and its all because of the hard work and effort that they put in for me. They were very easy to reach by ...phone, email and also in person. The knowledge and expertise was beyond what I had imagined and prices were absolutely reasonable. I would highly recommend their firm to anyone in the area that is in need of incredible family and divorce lawyer!

Incredible Lawyer who actually cares

Elizabeth Zwiebel was not only an excellent lawyer who know her stuff, but she also legitimately cared about me as a person, not just a client. She went out of her way to answer my non-stop questions almost immediately. I would highly recommend her and her firm for anyone, male or female, because she... will always have your best interest at heart and work nonstop for the best results.

Gerald was a joy to represent. We had some hard times but kept working our way through each obstacle. I do care about my clients and how their cases affect them.

Do not hesistate to use the Zwiebel Law Firm - Wonderful and Compassionate attorney and staff

I was so overwhelmed with the options of divorce attornies that I did not know what to do. The Zwiebel Law Firm was recommended to me and I scheduled a consultation. I instantly knew that this was the right attorney for me. Elizabeth and her staff (I worked with Mattie Williams) were compassionate, k...nowledgeable, thorough, and made what was a very difficult time much more manageable. I was surprised at how reasonable the rates were and my divorce was complete a matter of a couple of months. I am very satisfied and would recommend Elizabeth Zwiebel to anyone!!

Best Family Law Attorney!!

I would like to personally recommend Ms. Zwiebel and her law firm for the work done on my case. Ms. Zwiebel's understanding of the law, attention to detail, and commitment were instrumental in my success with two court cases. I had previously sought out other attorneys who were unwilling to take on m...y case because the opposing counsel had a "good track record" of winning cases. She fiercely represented me in a civil case involving the sale of a property and the countersuit filed against me. Hands down, her knowledge of family law, litigation of the cases, and attention to detail were instrumental in favorable judgments for me. I highly recommend the Zwiebel Law Firm and, if needed, will utilize these services again.

Best attorney in Birmingham!

Elizabeth is the best family attorney in Birmingham! She helped me with my custody case and I could not be happier. She fought for me like she was family. She helped me through every situation to make the right choice and as always looking out for my best interest. She made sure I understood every st...ep of the way and answered any questions I had. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and has my complete trust. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her.

"Elizabeth Swann is one of the metro Birmingham's best young lawyers. She is completely committed to proving the best legal counsel and representation to her clients. Elizabeth's practice is divided between family law and criminal defense representation. Her focus in family law matters is treated with a particular passion aimed at assisting clients during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Elizabeth’s diligent commitment to her clients faced with criminal charges goes beyond representation in criminal courts. Her previous legal experience with the Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles provides the expertise needed to assist clients with prior criminal histories apply for pardons which allows them to gain a second chance after conviction. If you are seeking the services of a caring and committed lawyer for a divorce or family law matter or in need of competent legal assistance for a criminal charge, then call Elizabeth Swann for representation."
