Posted by anonymous | April 03, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Anonymous

Rene Swanson has been my “attorney” 2 for over 2 years. She has charged me over 30k in legal expenses and produced very little movement on my case. As a victim of domestic violence, she or her paralegal did not hesitate to call yelling at me or threatening to not prepare for upcoming hearings if I d...id not give Renee thousands of dollars more. She has come to court completely unprepared with no depositions and refused to file motions for contempt. She refused to follow through with an income assignment order that was issued by the judge. She once told me that I had to come to her office that day or my trial may be postponed. Upon arrival her paralegal gave me discovery including: years of bank statements, documentation, resumes, and much more. I managed to get the discovery back to her in 3 business days and was told it was not fast enough and my trial may be delayed. Renee had received the discovery 30 days prior to this request and simply failed to tell me. Renee further has cancelled appointments to attend social functions and did so the day prior my hearing. After 30k and this lack of representation, she has filed to withdraw because I was unable to sell the contents of my home in a “timely” manner to suit her.

Sad representation

I hired Ms Swanson to represent my daughter. She seems to handle my daughter as a second class black girl. I think she basically represents the opposite person in every way (He's white). We learned our lesson, wouldn't have her to even represent my dog and I don't have one. I hope she enjoyed the lar...ge amount of money we paid her. Watch God change things.

Excellent Attorney & Highly Recommended

I hired Renee Swanson to represent me in a civil matter that involved someone in another state. I was worried in the beginning of the case because I didn’t know what to expect. Renee explained everything to me fully and laid out a timeline of how the events of the case would flow. Renee made me feel ...a lot better and everything went as she said it would go. I’d hire her again.

Excellent Job with Adoption

We used Renee for an intra-family adoption case and were very pleased. She did her research into the laws and kept in close contact with the court throughout the process. She took her time with us to answer all of our questions. With other lawyers I've felt like they cared about me in proportion t...o the amount of money I'd make them, but Renee cared about us and the best interest of our family. That was very important to me. We were comfortable and informed in every step of the process. Even with a surprise on the date of our court appearance that made us nervous, Renee remained calm and professional. She took good care of our family.

Caring attorney

Ms. Swanson was absolutely wonderful. She walked me through my divorce, calmed my fears, and made sure that the process went smoothly. Ms. Swanson listened through my tears and helped me to start a new life. I am grateful for her assistance.
