This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommended

Nathan was beyond proficient throughout the entire DUI process. He was readily available when i had questions or concerns, he kept me up to date with reminders and letters, and he worked with me on payments. Other than the inconvenience of having to drive to IL for few court dates it was a pretty str...ess free process. Hopefully I never have to use him again but if I ever need representation, I will absolutely go back to Nathan.

Great Help With DUI

Nathan was extremely responsive and helpful with my family and I throughout this difficult process. These sorts of thing are not easy, but Nathan made it far less stressful for all of us. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone that found themselves in a similar situation.

Nathan gets it done!

Nathan got the best outcome for my case. He explained everything and answered every question I asked. I wouldn't hire anyone else but Nathan.

Excellent experience

Nathan Swanson handled our case expertly, resulting in the best outcome we could have hoped for. He patiently explained all the possibilities and the process, both in person and by phone/email. We highly recommend him and his firm, Rosenblum, Schwartz, Rogers & Glass.

Immensely skilled, professional and persistent

Nathan Swanson is the only lawyer you want to hire! Nathan worked on my tedious case for a very extended period of time and never rushed the outcome. With his keen legal skills and evident persistence, he won my case. Nathan was very reassuring and he was always readily available to answer all of... my novice questions in great detail. I am certain that the outcome of my case would have been unfavorable if I was not represented by Nathan. He is by far the best lawyer I have ever worked with and I would recommend his legal expertise to anyone who needs a powerful legal force to fight for the best outcome in their case.

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.
