Excellent Service

Attorney Swisher is really good. And, she is willing to work with you. One thing that really stood out for me is that she will tell you the truth. This was very important to me! Therefore, I highly recommend her services.

Posted by Robin | December 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

CPS Child Custody

I retained Ms. Swisher for a CPS Child Custody case. Let me be clear in saying that this suit was a tremendously hard goal to accomplish. I had all but lost my rights to my daughter. I had very little visitation rights and nothing else relating to my daughter. I contacted Ms. Swisher and she met with... me within 24 hours. Within 1 week, I had a hearing date. She worked my case as if it were her own. To say that she did it professionally, expeditiously, and caringly doesn't do the work, that this attorney did, true justice. Just a few months later, I was given Sole Conservatorship of my daughter. She worked tirelessly and diligently through my extremely complicated case. I would highly recommend Ms. Swisher if you need an attorney that is the BEST in getting the results you need. I am confident in saying that She will work to get more than you ever expected because that's exactly what she did for me and my family.

awsome

Ms. Swisher did awesome on my case. She would answer any type of concerns you might have. Cheer you up no matter the situation you might be in. And reach into an agreement that same day of court. Thank you Ms. Swisher! La abogada Swisher fue una persona que te trata con calidez y se enfoca en ganar... tu caso. Te da animo sin importar la circunstancia en que te encuentres, siempre da palabras de motivación. En mi caso fue excelente, gracias Ms. Swisher!

Sensitive and Timely Matter

I cannot find the words or accolades to say what a pleasure it was to work with Ms. Swisher. Even though our matter did not go through as expected (not due to Ms. Swisher), she was very supportive all the way! Her office staff was very accessible and worked with us as well. Ms. Swisher is a Blessing ...from God and if ANY other legal matters should arise, we will DEFINITELY call her first. Thank you so much!

Needed Guidance

I contacted Attorney Swisher regarding a legality concern. The legal assistance I needed was not an area of her practice. Nonetheless, she listened intently. Afterwards she provided me the name of another attorney, who may be of assistance. It is good to know there are some attorneys who care eno...ugh about your legality concerns even if they are not able to take your case! Thank you, Attorney Swisher.
