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!

Wise and wonderful

She gives high level expert advice with common sense and compassion. Her office staff are kind and available for all emergencies. She is the only attorney the Knoxville area certified as a specialist in family law and that was important because she knew the law better than the lawyer against me. ...We also were able to plan to avoid a problem in the future.

knowledgeable expert

Ms. Schwamm handled my divorce and child support. It took a while, but she would not agree to any settlement that was not in my best interest. Her knowledge and experience in family practice showed well in my case. she knows the law and is constantly keeping up with any changes, and updated me me of...ten.

She really helped me through a bad time

Ms. Schwamm was a lifesaver to me during my divorce. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job getting me a really great settlement. She was able to predict pretty closely what the judge was going to do the majority of the issues. She had a really sweet assistant but there was a staff member ...that worked in her office that was really rude to me several times over the phone.
