David Swaim

Mr. J. David Swaim and his firm had represented me in a variety of immigration issues. He helped me to process my working visa while working for Marazzi Tile. I was so impressed with his integrity and knowledge of immigration law than later I decided to hire him to represent me in processing my gree...n card. In my case, I knew that this legal petition would have a very profound impact in the future of my family and the rest of my life since moving to the USA was of my highest priority. When I received some requests for evidence from the immigration processing department, I knew I made the right decision in hiring his law firm. They acted extremely quickly in putting a response to the request. In addition. Mr. Swaim showed great creativity in showing my legal information in a way that would be very easy to the immigration officers to understand In addition, he and his staff were always ready to answer my phone calls to explain me the process every step of the way since I was very concern that something would go wrong with my petition. During the past 15 years I been waiting for this moment. I have just received my green card!!! I know that accomplishing this goal took a lot of planning but a key stone of this goal was to hire the right lawyer and the right firm to guide me through immigration law.

I was in a crisis regarding H-1B and my company and its lawyer was kind of hostile towards me not giving my immigration papers and when asked for it revoking my H-1B, etc. David Swaim gave me advice whenever I had a query. Later I found out that he has a much better Avvo rating compared to some other...s I knew. I am not sure whether he could have helped me if he would have been my attorney but his communication was very very supportive. God bless him!

I hired Mr. Swaim to help with my permanent residency application. Before signing the contract, he seemed polite and knowledgeable. However, AFTER HAVING SIGNED HIS CONTRACT when I needed to communicate with him, he was no longer available to talk to me directly, or the few times I could reach him he... was rude in his communication, and not much helpful. For my case, I needed someone who knows how to move in the immigration system, and truly gets involved to support my case. After realizing in what situation I got myself in, I decided to fire Mr. Swaim and get help from another lawyer who cared about my case, and designed a more complete strategy in case my application would not work out the first time.There are lawyers that are serious professionals, who care about what they are doing and the implications their actions or inactions may have, and know more pathways to achieve certain goals in immigration matters than Mr. Swaim does.Stay away from Mr. Swaim. There are many well prepared and professional lawyers, who are also more knowledgeable.

David Swaim Jr., need a serious customer service training, he lost his grip several times over a simple questions that we need a simple yes and no answers. And when he answer a question he answer them with phrases like and I quote "I believe we have reached a point where the tail has been wagging the... donkey for too long" he was rude and un professional. When we needed him the most he answer with I already told you that the first day we meet, as if I remember everything that we talk 5 months ago, we are normal customers with simple questions and we are NOT attorneys or we didn't study immigration law to know everything. I didn't understand his bad attitude. I hope he can review his work and make changes for future customers that seriously I DON'T recommended to anyone.
