Thank you , Mary McSwain

We just closed on both the house we sold and the house we just bought! Mary McSwain and her team did an excellent job. It could have been a domino effect from our buyers' buyer down the line but their efficient coordination and communication helped to make a smooth closing. Thank you Mary and ...your team ! -

An Excellent Attorney

I hired Mary McSwain through a referral. She assisted me in a two-year grueling process of divorce for which I am very grateful today. She is a professional who really understands the law and and the court system. As a lay person, the legal process was/is very nebulous to me. During the 2 years t...here were moments of doubt and discouragement. I realized during this process that Mary had the whole thing masterfully tethered. She anticipated and executed every legal requirement in a timely manner. She made clear everything that was entitled to me under the law and made those her goals. I realized those moments of doubt were because I was not fully trusting and listening to Mary. She can be trusted 100%. She holds herself to a high standard of integrity which is clearly visible. I have referred her to others and will continue to refer her to anyone who says, "Do you know a good attorney?" My response is, "I will give you the name of an excellent one!"

10 year battle

Mary did and excellent job making sure my family received all that was deserved as I fought a ten year battle. She is professional, knowledgeable, and really goes after what’s right. Mary and her team made sure I was updated throughout the process and details were explained as they happened. I am ...extremely grateful to the dedication given to my case and happy it’s behind me.

Above and Beyond

Mary did a great job with my real estate sale, which was also part of a divorce settlement. She went above and beyond the call of duty to handle some challenging issues, and got everything done in a timely, professional fashion.

BEST experience EVER!

I am eternally grateful to Mary McSwain for helping make the divorce process as smooth as possible. Mary provided me with the information and resources that I needed to make informed choices. Her expertise and guidance throughout the process was of great value to me. I felt incredibly supported by ...Mary and her staff. She is an excellent communicator and was willing to respond to all of my email questions and phone calls. Mary appreciates her clients and works extra hard to ensure that her clients' needs are met. I greatly appreciate Mary and highly recommend her services to you!

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.
