Crossing the Rubicon...

I would and have recommended this lawyer to several of my friends. I would be willing to estimate that referrals for Family Law Attorneys are on the low side of the scale. Mr. Macswain was a voice of reason during an unreasonable process. He was available whenever the need arose over a protracted ...divorce that was unpleasant for everyone. I appreciate the way he was able to make things seem more reasonable and in the end we worked this case in collaboration - read his ego does not get in the way of achieving a successful outcome. The only reason I gave a 4 star on "kept me informed," is that I am a busy body and can't keep out of my own case - so sometimes I had to find out things on my own, not a fault of the attorney. In all, go for someone that you can trust implicitly, Mr. MacSwain is that person.
