Seamless process
Mr. Schwaner and his team took care of me from start to finish. He helped guide me through the process without stress and got me more than I had imagined possible. I hope I never need him again but if I do I know I’ll have the best attorney in business in my corner.

Over promises with poor delivery
Would not reccomend hiring Dave from my experience him and his colleague took advantage.

Great and professional lawyer
Mr. Schwaner always gets back to you promptly and answers all my questions. The process was long because the other side was trying to pay nothing but he really fought back with experience and strong foundation of the law.
