Review Adam Swartz

The Best of the Best!

Posted by

I'm not usually the type of person that writes a review but I felt compelled to write about Adam. I consider Adam to be amongst the elite where the only thing on his mind is to do the best possible thing for his clients. With the help of Adam, I was able to settle a six figure case with favorable terms. He kept me up to speed during the negotiations and was always accessible via email or phone.

The answer to my prayers.

I met Adam through a mutual friend in my community and for about a month never asked what he did or what his career was. Until one day I asked and he said "I help people with their credit",thinking to myself or great just another scam. I actually used Lexington Law a few years prior and gave them almost one thousand dollars and received little to no results. So I was being pessimistic when Adam told me what he did. It wasent until an hours later after he explained EVERYTHING to me about credit FICO scores,hard vs soft pulls and bad debt vs good debt. He opened my eyes and gave me new found hope. I went through the program and had great communication with him and saw all three my scores raise drastically. He does an amazing job at what he does. He will not lie to you or mislead you. Thank you Adam and White Jacobs. Justin J

Always willing to go the extra mile.

While ultimately deciding that I didn't have a case that was worth pursuing, Mr. Swartz took the time to review my situation and offer not only his professional opinion, but the references to support his opinion. It wasn't in my best interest to hire him this time, but he will be my first choice if I need an attorney in the future.

We hired Adam and his team for a delicate corp debt collection issue with a client. They were able to get the issue resolved quickly and decisively with a positive outcome. Highly recommend!

Excellent Lawyer!

Initially I went to Adam regarding an issue I had with a Webmaster. I was very worried about my situation. I had never ran into anything like this before. Adam took the time to listen to all of the details of my issue. He helped me to feel more at ease and gave me a feeling of confidence that it would be resolved. Not too long after that it was completely resolved! I was so pleased and thankful for his service. I highly recommend this layer. Two thumbs up!

Judgement Settlement

Posted by

After having lost a home (2009) and then being hit with a default judgement, my wife and I struggled for years with a very ruthless creditor. Having spoken with several "services" and attorneys, we could never find one that would truly help us avoid the inevitable. Living with this hanging over our heads has been miserable. I contacted Adam Swartz who negotiated a settlement of 13.25% of the debt ...approaching $100K. We couldn't be happier, or more please with Adam and his team. I would highly recommend Adam Swartz and his firm to anyone that needs debt relief and amicable yet favorable results.

Final Judgment against American Express entered

Posted by

I was at a loss when my prior attorney refused to prepare the Final Judgment required to be signed by Judge to close a cause I had won against American Express. The weeks had passed since the trial and I ran the risk that the cause would be Dismissed for Want of Prosecution if a Final Judgment was not entered soon. I was able to file a Substitution of Counsel and prepare a Final Judgment for the District Court Judge to sign and end almost three years of litigation. I can now begin to clear my credit report of incorrect credit reporting made by American Express. I highly recommend Adam Swartz

My Credit and Debt settlement solved!

Posted by

Adam Swartz was recommended to me through a friend. Hiring Mr Swartz for my credit and debt issues was the best decision I made. Mr. Swartz took great care in knowing every little detail of the case. I have never seen a lawyer who was more passionate about his work ,who took the extra time and effort to make sure everything was in order. His knowledge of the credit and debt negotiations fields was very impressive. I would recommend Mr. Swartz to all of my family and friends. He is one lawyer who is on top of his game.

I have worked with Adam since he has been licensed to practice. He has demonstrated a competency in multiple practice areas that far exceeds a typical lawyer with his experience. I strongly endorse him for credit repair and debt settlement.

Colin McFerrin, Family Attorney on Apr 3, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I wholeheartedly endorse Adam. I have known Adam since 2010, and he consistently displays traits clients and other lawyer admire. He is a knowledgeable, highly skilled, and creative attorney. Recently, I had a client ask for assistance with a debt collections issue. However, as a family and business law attorney, I was unsure whether to accept the case. After much deliberating and research, I agreed to represent the client. On the morning of the hearing, I called and spoke with Adam to get some last minute advice to ensure I was not missing anything. Adam began rattling off case law and pointing to very specific issues that he felt I should address during the hearing. As a result of my discussions with Adam, I was able to get a dismissal on behalf of my client. I was thrilled and, obviously, my client was happy. If you are a client searching for an attorney, or if you are attorney needing insight on a similar issue, consider Adam Swartz.

Ashraf Zayed, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 3, 2014
