Attorney Swartz was very helpful, from beginning to end, when I needed to file a claim with Social Security disability. He made the process easy and painless. He was easy to contact and he always returned my phone calls quickly. If you need a good SSDI lawyer, Attorney Swartz is your guy!

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, because your husband was sued by the other driver, who was allegedly injured in the collision, he needed to be represented by the attorney that your insurance company appointed for him. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
"Matt Swartz and I formerly worked together at the same firm. I endorse Matt because he is thoughtful, considerate, and patient. His writing and legal research skills are superior, and his pleasant demeanor is often noticed by clients and other legal professionals. I highly endorse Matt for any type of legal matter!"
"Attorney Swartz has a lot of wisdom, energy and competitive drive. He is associated with a quality law firm, and he has proven himself to be a courtroom winner. He would be my go-to guy for criminal trial work in the Muskegon area. I am glad to give him my endorsement. -- Atty, Dana B. Carron"
