I am deeply grateful for his skill, concern for my welfare, and vigorous involvement.

Mr Swatosh handled a complicated criminal case for me which involved a grand jury investigation. The results of his representation were extremely favorable to me. I am deeply grateful for his skill, concern for my welfare, and vigorous involvement. I would heartily recommend his services to anyone.

Very impressive work

Swatosh recently did some work for me and I found myself very impressed not only with his professionalism but his expertise in the area of my case. I'd definitely recommend him to do work for any of my friends or family!

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.
