In addition to being an attorney, I am a wife and mother of four busy children. As a parent, I know how busy life can be. In trying to balance work, family responsibilities, and children’s school and extracurricular activities, we sometimes procrastinate doing really important things, like making sure our spouses and children are protected in the event of our incapacity or death.
In fact, most parents I meet have not prepared a will or legally named a guardian for their minor children. The reasons vary, but it’s often a combination of not wanting to think about an emotional painful subject, lacking the time and energy to get it done, and fearing that an attorney’s services will simply cost too much.
As both a mother and an attorney, I understand the unique legal needs of families. I know that all parents, regardless of their net worth, need comprehensive estate planning to ensure their wishes are followed and their families are protected. And I find great personal and professional satisfaction in helping parents create estate plans that provide them with that peace of mind.
With these considerations in mind, I understand the time and financial constraints families face. So rather than having to schedule an appointment with me in my office during regular business hours, the mobile-based nature of my firm allows my clients to communicate with me any time it is convenient for them through a secure Internet web page. Also, because I maintain a modest office space, I am able to keep my overhead low and provide my clients high quality legal services at very reasonable rates.
As for my qualifications, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development from Brigham Young University. This was followed by a law degree from J. Reuben Clark Law School, at Brigham Young University in 2000. While in law school, I was selected as a member of the Order of the Barristers, an honorary fraternity that recognizes outstanding achievement in legal advocacy. I received my licenses to practice law in Arizona (2000) and Utah in 2002.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and children, biking, hiking and reading.

"Ms. Swallow is one of the best attorneys I have worked with. Her experience and innovations in the fields of estate planning, wills, and mediation place her in the top of her field.
