Excellent and extremely intelligent Attorney who actually cares about his clients.

If you are looking for an Attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, caring and will stand up for you, Mr. Swate is your guy. He handled my case professionally and kept me well informed of each step of the process. I was nervous and ignorant to the process and not only did he explain things in a way th...at I could understand, he kept me very well informed throughout the process. He is very intelligent and seems to know what is going to happen before it happens. He never left me hanging, he always responded and answered any questions that I had in a timely manner. I was very happy with the representation that Mr. Swate provided and highly recommend him.

Intelligent

He was very smart and level headed about the way he handled my case. He knew what the outcome would be before it happened and did everything by the book and in my best interest. Very charasmatic and not afraid to stand up for what's right and for his clients.

I am always humble when a client makes me look good. One of the great God given gifts to a lawyer is a wonderful intelligent client.

Excellent lawyer who really cares

Tommy Swate resolved three lawsuit cases against me. He did an awesome job and the cases where dropped. He kept me informed at every point of the process and what I could expect. That alone was a huge weight lifted off me because I had never been sued and was extremely nervous. I was confident tha...t he was very knowledgeable in the law and how to win. I never had to appear in court, for which I am so grateful. He really cares about his clients and puts your fears to rest. I am forever grateful.

Fully prepared and competent-Complaints come from few that wanted Miracles and not Adequate Representation

Can't say anything more than he is Smart, business savy, understands various and multiple ways to be of service within the confines of the law...He can't perform Miracles...you must own your own mistakes but He will use all of his background and expertise to get you back on your feet!! He is fair, wi...se, disciplined and kind!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
