Great lawyer to work with!

Attorney Swartzberg always exhibits the highest honesty and professional integrity towards clients, the court and other professionals involved in his cases. He is extremely competent and knowledgeable in many areas of the law. He obtains favorable results by applying his legal knowledge along with ...common sense. He is the smartest attorney I have had the opportunity to either work with or against in my 30 years of private law practice. I give him my highest rating.

M&A Peer Professional Review of Sandy Swartzberg

I'm the founder/owner of an M&A firm serving the upper private company market with national scope. In a large number of transactions our firm recommends Counsel, either to our Clients OR to our Customers, i.e. the party on the other side of the transaction. As a matter of best professional pract...ices we typically recommend or introduce two attorneys; Sandy is almost always one. He is a deal-maker, not breaker. He strives mightily to get transactions to succeed, not fall apart. When creative, out-of-the box thinking about a thorny transaction issue or approach is needed, Sandy shines.. He's a businessman first who happens to be a lawyer. He's fair, reasonable, win-win oriented and just plain uses common sense. He' one of my very small number of trusted, go-to M&A or Transaction Attorneys - the ones I want at the table with my Client and Customer, the Transaction Principals, no matter which side of the table that happens to be.

Inspired

I was introduced to Sandy by chance and for me it was like winning the lottery. Sandy has been a breath of fresh air for me covering everything from operating documents to legal direction and business transaction. He has more knowledge and insight than one can imagine in all areas. His willingness... is what I like the most, he always willing to lend a hand or in this case a "Brain". I can honestly say he has helped our business get to where it is by being a team player. Truly one of best legal professionals you will ever meet!

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.
