Angela Brown Swenson

I hired this attorney to represent me in a child support modification issue and a contempt of court issue with my ex-spouse not adhering to our current divorce decree. Angela then passed me off to another associate in the practice, Dawn Marie White. I remained with this attorney, and Angela, I suppo...se, for nine months. Communication was very poor. I had very specific items that my ex-spouse was in contempt of. He was, and still is, in blatant violation of our current divorce decree. I turned over all information that was asked of me by this practice and there still wasn't any action taken for 4 months, until my ex-spouse took me to court for emancipation of one of my children. Nothing was accomplished at that court date except the emancipation. None of the contempt issues were even discussed. The remaining 5 months with these attorneys again accomplished nothing. I made phone calls to the office, but no one ever answered the phone. I left voice mails and emails which were hardly ever responded to. The office hours were never honored. I would stop by and no one was there. I will be honest and say I was on a modest means payment program and I was doing my best to make payments. However, I felt since I was receiving poor service, I shouldn't have to pay until my requests were being met. They never were. These lawyers dropped me for slow payment even though they agreed to help me financially at the beginning. I had invested a lot of money and now I have nothing to show for it. I was poorly and unfairly misrepresented. Do not hire this firm as they will mislead you, not communicate with you, misrepresent you and will most definitely not fight for you.

I was about to hire a lawyer for my child support/custody case; during our consultation he assured me I would get everything I wanted out of this case and that he couldn't see any reason it would not go my way. I thought this was too good to be true since I am close to a few people who have been in t...his sort of situation so I wanted to get a second opinion. After reading some reviews I decided to go with Angela because I like what others said about her. I am so thankful I did! She is very knowledgeable, gave me good advice and her honest opinion. After speaking with her I knew that it would've been a big mistake to hire that other lawyer not only because he gave me false info and hope but more importantly because, unlike him, she showed interest, concern and actually cared about how the different outcomes could affect me. I am so thankful for Angela. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer who will have your best interests at heart.
