When You Need A Barracuda

Mike was hired to be the stern Adult with a back bone re a family issue…and he didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.

Riehle Trust

I was having trouble getting my share of my husband's estate after he passed away. My husband had a trust in place that was written before we married and he never reviewed this after we were married and I thought this was iron clad, But, Mr. Michael Swogger's expertise changed all of that, he is ama...zing and I am so blessed to of been sent to him. He came highly recommended and I can see why, cannot say enough about this man, he is amazing, again, thank you so very much for all you did with this case. In appreciation, Kathy Riehle

Not happy with the service.

We are currently a clients of Mr Swogger. Work has not been done on a timely basis. We were told things were done and sent several times when they were not.

  • 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.
