DUI expert

Quite frankly, Izaak is the most knowledgeable and aggressive DUI attorney in town. His prior work experience as a deputy district attorney at the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office gives him a special insight on all criminal cases, but especially DUI's. He isn't afraid to use that to his adv...antage when dealing with the DA. While other attorneys beg and plead the DA for deals, Izaak is unafraid to set the matter for trial and prove the case to the jury. You would be well-served to hire this man as your attorney.

Mr. Swaiger: The man who sees the injustices within our "Justice" system.

Mr. Schwaiger went above and beyond his responsibilities as an attorney. He exemplifies the words professionalism and perseverance with an ability to instill confidence and motivation within his clients. He helps them to understand their options with whatever legal entanglements they may be dealing w...ith. I brought my case to Mr. Schwaiger with little hope of a positive outcome. He not only reduced my initial sentence, he was able to have the more serious of the two charges dropped by making sure that the legal system was held to the same standard in which they held me. Mr. Swaiger being a Marine Corp veteran carried over his values from the military along with his unwavering attention to detail to make sure that I (as his client) didn't fall through the cracks of the legal system. I would highly recommend Izaak Schwaiger to anyone in need of an attorney.

Great outcome, very happy

I was a client of Izaak Schwaiger’s recently, and I had a great experience (as great of an experience as one can have when dealing with two felonies and a misdemeanor, I suppose). I called his office on a Saturday evening, panicking, and he answered the phone himself and talked me through it—he told ...me how to deal with the police, explained the best and worst case scenarios I was looking at, and kept me informed every step of the way during my case. He explained everything in terms I could understand and I never got the impression he was too busy for me…I really don’t think that I would have gotten the same result--the best possible outcome in my situation--with a different lawyer. His fees were very reasonable, in my opinion. No one likes paying lawyers, but after my situation was taken care of I was so relieved that I was happy to pay what he charged—when compared to the fines and lost income I had been potentially facing, it was a small price to pay. Hopefully I won’t need his services again, but I’d definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a defense attorney.
