Pathetic

Virginia Scwamm couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag. She’ll take your money and that’s the last thing she will do.

Posted by Jim | May 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney

Excellent attorney!

She was always well prepared and has a very thorough knowledge of the law. Her staff was always helpful. Her advice was right on point. I would always choose Ms. Schwamm to represent me and I recommend her highly.

She was really through and prepared

I’m very impressed with Ms. Schwamm’s performance in my divorce and custody case. She was anticipating what the other side would do and was prepared to argue against this. Her staff was always available and and helpful- Sharon was the best!

Great Lawyer

Ms. Schwamm was a real strategist representing me against my former wife. She reviewed everything and came up with a plan to stop the harassment. She and her staff were responsive and knowledgeable - the mediator even told me how much money she’d saved me. If I ever have to go back to court, I’ll wa...nt her as my lawyer.

Terrible Lawyer, you've been warned!

I had a terrible experience with this lawyer. The service went downhill after the retainer fee was paid. Very poor communications. Hiring Virginia "Ginny" Schwamm was among the worst decisions I have ever made in my life.
