Brad Mcclain Swearingen

Mr. Swearingen is knowledgeable, fair, and thorough. He handled my divorce 5 years ago which involved bancruptcy, foreclosure of the property, and a child custody battle. He was able to provide me with wonderful references to handle the issues outside of the divorce case and handled my divorce case... in a professional, fair manner. My ex-husband was not always appropriate with his requests for the divorce preceedings. For example, he did not want to leave the house that we lived in with our children. Brad quickly filed the appropriate paperwork and gave him 2 weeks to pack his stuff up and leave. After our divorce was finalized, my ex husband was not filling out the paperwork for his 401(k). I contacted Brad (years after my case was finalized) and he got the job done. Brad is a lawyer that knows the law and makes sure that the case is fair to both sides. He is a no-nonsense lawyer that will fight for your rights as long as they are appropriate and follow the law. Your right to collect the appropriate amount of child support, your right to property, and your right for custody. I highly recommend Mr. Swearingen.

Divorce is NEVER an easy thing to go through, especially when there are children involved. Brad was my second attorney and he has represented me over a period of 10 years. During that time, he has always acted with deep professionalism. He knows the law inside and out and is willing to fight for h...is clients. You need someone who can fight for your rights as a parent AND act in the best interest of your children on your behalf. Attorney Swearingen is respected by the judges and many other attorneys in his profession. If you're looking for a great attorney in Kane county, give Brad a call. He was my most valuable ally during the most difficult time in my life. Thank you, Brad!

Brad has represented me for the past 10 years through both my divorce and post-decree work. What I respect about Brad is his intelligence, honesty and concise approach. He helped me tremendously during a difficult time in my life. Brad went above and beyond to ensure I was treated fairly and helpe...d me to see the compromise necessary in any divorce situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney. Underneath it all, he cares about his client's needs and will be your strongest advocate.

My divorce involving minor children took 26 months. Part of the reason it took so long was that my ex spouse hired John Chapski, who is on the opposite end of the "Professionalism, Character and Honesty" spectrum as Brad. Brad knows the current laws, and can give the best advise of what you should, ...or should NOT do. I had both GAL and Psychologist reports leaning my direction for custody. I agreed to be the residential custodial parent with ex spouse getting 50% visitation. Brad is a "No non-sense Attorney" that is going to advise you of what your best options are. He is an expert on child custody, visitation laws, maintenance and child support. I would highly recommend Brad regardless if your divorce is new or your going back to court for old issues etc....

I highly recommend Brad; in fact there are not enough stars in AVVO's rating for Brad. Regrettably my divorce and child visitation case went on for years with my ex-partner refusing to comply with court order after court order while retaining and dismissing 7 different attorneys. Whether in respons...e to my ex-partner’s actions or the tactics of opposing counsel, Brad displayed unwavering tenacity. Brad is diligent, supportive, caring, persistent, and fought not just to protect my rights as a parent but the ability to maintain meaningful relationships with my children. He uniquely combines complete, effective legal support with practical, reasonable advice to produce results at manageable cost. Brad's experience and skill, whether in the courtroom or in support of mediation and cooperation between parties, helps clients resolve the simplest to most adversarial family law situations. I will always be grateful for Brad's assistance and I'm confident others will find him an equally effective guide through what can be a challenging period of transition in life.
