Helped put my life back together!

I was a .160 BAC and was passed out in my car after fighting with my wife. Mr. Schwaner walked me through the process. I lost the DMV hearing but got a deferred sentence in the courthouse part of the case. He had me start the classes and community service right away and that really helped me focus on... improving. I can't say enough about Mr. Schwaner or recommend him highly enough.

Municpal court case

Mr. Schwaner handled a 6 point speeding case for me. I'm sure it wasn't the biggest case he ever handled but you wouldn't know it by the way he handled the case. He went to court until he was able to get my points knocked down to 1. Couldn't be happier!

Second Offense

I hired Mr. Schwaner for my 2nd DUI case. I wish I had hired him for my first one. He did a great job on my case. I can't recommend highly enough.

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.
