A perfect fit

After learning that Ms. Swenson was licensed in both Indiana and Florida we knew she would be the perfect fit for our needs since we were relocating to Florida soon. Shortly after contacting the office my call was returned promptly by Ms. Swenson. We discussed our needs re: preparation of an updated ...will and other concerns re: our current guardianship of our adult daughter. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided instructions in preparation for our office appointment. She was thorough and we appreciated the time she spent to ensure we understood the legal requirements in Florida that we would encounter. I would not hesitate to recommend Swenson & Associates.

The Best!!

I highly recommend hiring Angela Swenson. She fought hard for me and is a bulldog in the courtroom! Angie got me through a lot of tough times that I thought I would have never made it through. She answered all my questions in a timely matter and is worth every penny!

The worst attorney experience.

I had Angie Swenson for my divorce case. She was not helpful at all. She is unfriendly, very rude and made me loose my confidence when I was going through the toughest time in life. Because of her irresponsible approaches I had a lot of financial and emotional damages. She did not appear for my heari...ng but sent her junior instead who had no much idea about my case and we were not in the same page in the court. It was a nightmare. I hired another attorney who was extremely nice and successfully did my divorce.

Amazing lawyer!

I'm so glad I chose Angie as my lawyer! She's knowledgeable and professional, yet down to Earth and easy to communicate with. It was so easy to work with her and she is very reasonably priced. I couldn't be happier with my experience!

Wonderful attorney!!!

Angie, was extremely professional, intelligent, trustworthy, and compassionate. Everything you want going through the worst time of your life. I am very thankful I hired Angie, and would do it again in a heartbeat!

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.
