Great experience thank you my case it was completely

I can only say thank God and thank Attorney David Swain and his team of associates. My husband was the one who chose their services, and many factors helped in my case, but obviously guided by the hand of experts, and above all, experts with humanity who are not looking to take advantage of anyone; t...hey are dedicated to doing their job well. I could say many more things, but I don’t want to be too lengthy. I can only say that my husband and I had a great experience with Attorney Swain and Vanessa Newell, who was attentive to all our questions and also speaks Spanish, so I highly recommend them. Their services are very affordable and reasonable in terms of costs. I hope everyone resolves their immigration situations, and what better than in the hands of experts and professionals. Thank you.

Helped me in F-1 status re-instatement.

I highly recommend Mr. Swaim as the best immigration lawyer, particularly for those dealing with F-1 status issues. Before consulting with him, I had spent money on other lawyers who were unhelpful and left me without support. After losing my F-1 status due to my college's DSO not recommending me for... OPT, Mr. Swaim advised me to file for reinstatement through Form I-539. Although I received a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS due to a misdemeanor 'A' on my record, his precise and thorough response gave me confidence that my status would be approved even before it was official. Initially, Mr. Swaim might seem somewhat assertive, but this comes from his deep knowledge and extensive experience. This approach is essential for a lawyer, rather than offering false hopes. He's got a very unique perspective which set him apart. I strongly recommend anyone with immigration challenges consult Mr. Swaim before giving up hope.

The Most Confident Immigration Attorney in Dallas Tx.

David Swaim, is a Good, confident attorney. He has the experience and knowledge of how the US immigration system works, if anyone is looking for a confident attorney to get their US immigration process successfully completed, David can get it done. I am sure he can tell before taking the case if it w...ill get approved or not. He has that kind of confident, which I admire a lot. His Staff Katie and Erica are quite knowledgeable and reassuring. I won't second guess David's ability and skill. I was introduced to Mr. Swaim by my friend who hired Mr. Swiam services and eventually became a US Citizen, In 2019 I was lucky to meet with Mr. Swaim and Hired him for my USA Green Card , during my first meeting with him , I signed the contract with him. Due to Covid-19 things got delayed but Mr. Swaim and his staff was in constant contact with me and as soon as things started to open with USA Consulate he and his office staff worked diligently and got my Green Card approved and now I am a USA permanent Resident. Honestly I was pretty nervous but Mr. Swaim was confident in my success. I will strongly encourage anyone looking for their US Immigration process to Hire Mr. Swaim services you save time, hassle and money. Again I know that Mr. Swaim know's inside out about how the whole US immigration process works.

I’m an US citizen today only because of David- indeed a Miracle worker

My case was considered as a high profile case which was a “big talk” at many countries on television, newspapers and internet. Our honorable Prime Minister of India Mr Modi was questioned because India is not a member of the Haque convention on the civil aspects because a child is not considered abdu...cted by a parent during that time. I was charged with the abduction of my toddler son in 2014 at Collin County court. I was incarcerated and I served time for almost 8 months on interference of child custody. My ex-husband tried all possible ways to get me deported back to India. I was under removal proceedings and my green card, including my Indian passport were taken by the immigration authorities. I was a victim to domestic violence and fled United States for the fear of my life and my child’s. My ex husband’s lawyer played all his best cards and in-fact I have not seen my son since 2015. But Mr. David Swaim is my Savior in disguise with my immigration case. He believed in me and he fought to bring justice for me. I hired Mr. Swaim in 2014 and I received my green card in 2017 and in 2021, I became a US Citizen. I have the confidence that I can reunite with my son and it would have been impossible if I was deported to India. Said so, my case is the most complicated and a very hard situation that required a lawyer like Mr. David and his team who constantly fought for me at the court and they also gave me the emotional support constantly. I can go on and on about how selfless and a honest attorney he is and his hardworking employees. Mr. Alexander accompanied me to the interviews and spent time preparing me for no extra money. Ms. Erika, Mr. Carolyn and Ms Marisa had helped me patiently prepare all my documents that required to be submitted on time. Trust me my case probably has a huge cubby filled with documents that took months to rearrange for accuracy as per the immigration’s need to give the complete details of my case but he and his hardworking team compiled it for me even during the covid19 lockdown. He promised me that he will make me a United States Citizen and he proved it- kept up his promise and emotionally supported me at every stage along with his staff members.I wish I could give him more than 5 stars... he deserves more... I’m extremely thankful to him and his team. You can blindly trust him , he works for his clients benefit and is a great hearted considerate attorney who is capable of bringing justice to you. Every lawyer I hired had washed their hands off me and ripped me off financially. But Mr. Swaim’s fees were reasonable. My family. friends and I are so thankful and grateful for his help.

Miracle Worker

I have been working with David since June 2018 and I believe no one else could have helped me more than David did. My NIW petition was approved for more than two years until the day that USCIS sent me a NOIR (Notice of Intent to Revoke). I talked to many lawyers, most of them declined to even work wi...th me. Few of them that wanted to work with me talked to me about general ideas and the strategy was not clear. When I talked to David, which took maybe less than 5 min, he immidietly read all NOIR and my original petition and came up with a plan that seemed to work. A strategy based on law that proved that my petition should not have been revoked, and it worked. If you are looking for someone that I believe is the best lawyer in immigration law, look no further. If you look for someone that holds your hand and tries to be political in his words but can not help you, look somewhere else. David is a straight shooter and is all about law and will fight for you like you are his son. Just so you know, in more than a year working with him, I did not talk to him more than 10min, however, there was not even once that I needed to wait for him more than few hours to respond to my emails. At some point, he offered me to fight for me in court free just because quote "I need to protect immigrants like you". That is a kind of lawyer he is and I highly recommend you to talk to him.
