Straightforward and helpful
Blane is a very straightforward man that will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. He worked with us throughout the entire process.

BEST OF THE BEST
Blane went above and beyond on my case. You won't find another attorney more dedicated & thorough. He fights for what he believes in. I wouldn't go anywhere else for legal advise or representation.
Gary Blane Swain Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"have had the pleasure of working with Blane on numerous family law cases over the past 5+ years, and have always been impressed with his zealous advocacy and ease of presence in a courtroom. However, his clients benefit just as much from his reasonable and level-headed practice style outside of court. If you want an attorney who fights for your present and future happiness, well-being, and security, then look no further and start working your way to those brighter days ahead!"
"As a former colleague of Mr. Swain, I have worked closely with him on numerous family law cases. Many of these involved in depth, complex litigation in which he consistently demonstrated that he was highly knowledgeable of the applicable law, thorough in his pleadings, persuasive in a court room setting, and compassionate with his clients. He is a dedicated advocate that fights hard for his clients and does so with the utmost integrity."
