Exemplary Representation in High-Stakes Business Litigation Brandon is your guy!

Brandon demonstrated exceptional legal acumen and strategic judgement in resolving a complex business dispute. Through meticulous preparation and relentless advocacy on my behalf, he identified an opportunity for me through the mediation process that no one saw coming. This resulted in avoiding a co...stly trial but more so- I walked away with an outcome that I didn’t even know was possible. Brandon helped me clearly see what this outcome would mean to me long-term and one where I truly walked away knowing I got a settlement that will benefit me for years to come. Brandon’s ability to instill confidence through every step of the legal process was exactly what I needed to approached the situation fearless and That in itself was one of the best aspects of working with Brandon. Brandon will always be the only lawyer I recommend for business disputes and I confident he will be yours as well!

Most trusted legal advisor

Mr. Brandon Schwartz has been a consummate professional and a trusted legal advisor to me and for my business over many years since a friend introduced me to him. I have appreciated Brandon's accessibility, patience, and ability to simplify complex problems including business partnership and operatio...nal agreements, employment contracts and separation agreements and guidance on assignments to trusts. I am happy to refer and introduce Brandon to my closest network of friends, colleagues and business partners. He is building a law firm with a strong culture and values that align with mine and I appreciate his expertise and commitment to his clients. Thank you, Brandon! JP

  • 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.
