Highly recommend

I filed a personal injury lawsuit through Doug Swanson and was pleased with the results. I felt like I was involved in each step of the process and was kept up to date on the progress. It was a pretty painless process and I was able to settle without going to court. I’d definitely return to Doug if I... ever needed legal help again.

A Very Diligent and Knowledgeable Attorney!

Attorney Douglas Swanson is a very professional, meticulous and pleasant professional in his field. He has been a pleasure to work with and is quite brilliant and thorough. His Paralegal April is very organized and diligent too. Both April and Douglas are very patient and are happy to explain the leg...al process in details, as it relates to the claim. Overall, a superb experience working with Douglas and his team!

Awesome

I would highly recommend Doug Swanson for a lawyer. I had a minor car accident and found Doug to be so supportive, kind and honest. The feeling of trust is important when you are not sure of how to handle a claim. I would definitely use him again for any needs my husband or I may have in the futur...e. I wanted him to know from the beginning I was not out to get anything more than my bills paid and what was owed to me for loss of wages. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered and I always felt extremely comfortable and confident when I spoke with him. Very professional and spoke to us in terms we always understood. Thank you Doug!

Thank you Doug Swanson

Doug let me know what to expect and explained every option available to me. He talked to me so I could understand all the legal terms and prepared me for my deposition. I truly appreciated his calm demeanor and his ability to make me feel less nervous and the way he validated my feelings. He made n...o question I asked him, seem like it was wrong or dumb. I never expected to get the settlement that I received and I was grateful for all that Doug did for me.

"I endorse Doug Swanson. He is a highly effective advocate for injured clients. He is smart, well-prepared, compassionate and friendly by nature, but does not hesitate to be tough with insurance companies when necessary to secure fair treatment for his clients. Unlike a lot of personal injury attorneys who are in it only for the money, Doug Swanson truly cares about people and will often take on cases that others won't."
