Clifford Alan Swayze

Mr. Swayze is very knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated. He has been practicing law for many years. He is regarded with mutual respect by all. Clifford has helped me on many different issues, and has always been fair, diligent and wise. He is worth far more than the money he bills, and his cli...ents know he seeks their best interests, not high billings. I trust Clifford implicitly with any of my legal issues.

I interviewed about a dozen lawyers before I chose Cliff Swayze. I had a complex case that involved a child and took a long time to work through the details of, and wanted to find someone that I would be comfortable working with through a long and difficult process. I learned that Cliff has an excell...ent reputation and a lot of experience dealing with difficult family issues. One of the things that was the most helpful about having Cliff as my advocate through this whole process is how well he knows the law. I had given up on finding someone with any knowledge about some of the details of my case, and he had an excellent foundation for figuring it out. He also had the research and analytical skills to give me a strong case at a time when I felt like I was at a severe disadvantage. Another thing that's great about Cliff is that he is excellent in court. He has really impressive rhetorical skill and could think fast on his feet when difficult situations and unexpected issues arose. He was also able to give me good advice about presenting myself and my concerns in the courtroom. It's a terrifying situation to be in, but having Cliff as an advocate helped me to face it with confidence. As it turns out, my situation worked out better than I thought it could, and Cliff is a big part of why it did. He helped me to form reasonable expectations and to plan for the future in a situation that previously seemed very uncertain. I recommend him, and think that he's one of the best legal partners to have on your side in the Greater Austin area.

Recently, my wife and I were involved in a CPS case and had hired Mr. Swayze about 7 months ago. From the get go he was very straight forward and clear about what needed to be done. I appreciated his clarity and supportiveness. He was readily available at any moment to speak to through text or over t...he phone. His attitude was great and I truly feel that he did everything in his power to fight for us. His terms/cost were extremely fair as well. He is a very knowledgeable attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I found Mr. Swayze online in a quick search, called him and decided very quickly he was the lawyer I wanted to handle my divorce case. He spoke with me that day, over the phone, about my situation and gave me a spot – on estimate based on the details of my case. When I arrived at his office for... our scheduled consultation, he promptly greeted me and reviewed the divorce decree sent to me by my husband's lawyer. Although my separation was amicable, and the items I wished to part with in the divorce were written into the decree, Mr. Swayze found several errors of omission that could have lost me a great deal of money. After reviewing the paperwork, and making notes to help me convey the changes needed to my husband's lawyer, we had additional time left in our hour – long consultation. With my permission, Mr. Swayze used the additional time to consult me about ways to protect my interests should I ever remarry. I found the information to be both savvy and practical. And, if I ever do remarry, I will be sure to put his suggestions to use. Since my divorce was amicable, there were no children, and only a few assets to divide, the paperwork for Mr. Swayze's review was quite short. When my husband's lawyer returned the revised papers, Mr. Swayze reviewed them at no additional charge. I was very happy with the service I was given, and would recommend Mr. Swayze to any friend or family member in need of a divorce lawyer.
