"As a former prosecutor, Jeff Schwartz brings to the table a unique perspective as I too spent part of my career in a similar capacity. I endorse Jeff as a criminal defense attorney you owe it to yourself to discuss your case, legal issues and concerns."

"While I do not know Mr. Schwartz personally, I have had the opportunity to review answers by his on this site sent in by people with legal questions. Too many times the attorneys responding tell a person with a legal issue to simply see an attorney. He doesn't. His answers are based upon the facts presented and no doubt help the people he assists. Given the the time and effort he devotes to helping people coming to this site, I can easily endorse him as an attorney."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
