Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

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.
