Jonathan S Swartz

Jonathan was HIRED to obtain a divorce for a friend of mine. He instructed me to co-sign his retainer agreement of $2300 just in case my friend was unable to pay. $18,000 dollars (this was the amount Swartz said my friend or I owed him by that time) later my friend found out that Swartz hadn't even f...iled a DISSOLUTION of MARRIAGE to the Superior Court of Mason County. And we found out that he was working for the defendant too, also, by hearing her ask him why she was paying him money. And he let the defendant totally strip the contents of the home against the court orders. My friend turned him into the Washington State Bar, and Swartz still tried to charge me the amount listed below..... Then of all things he turned me into Grimm Collections of Tumwater to obtain his 'money' for DOING nothing. I had paid him a $2300 retainer to start the case, which I had forgiven. But still tried to charge me an additional $4831.94 dollars. We turned him into Grimm Collections also, and the matter was dropped My friend had to represent himself in court many months later by filing a Nunc Pro Tunc motion with the Mason County Superior Court to legally finalize his divorce. Thank you Commissioner Sauerlander. Who I think could still remember the mess caused by Jonathan Swartz. This was many years ago and I was reminded of this crooked attorney by sorting through my friends paperwork (RIP my dear friend) and came across the correspondence between Swartz. the Bar and my friend. Then it all came back to me. He should have been DISBARRED in 2011. Perhaps he has changed, but watch your wallet closely if you hire him.

Jonathan is an eminently professional, extremely competent, reliable and helpful attorney and person! He carried through in my divorce case in many difficult and challenging situations, using his expertise, wisdom and kindness to make what seemed impossible into a task that could be handled with a... minimum of pain for all involved. What is equally important is that he truly cares about the people he serves, giving not only very knowledgeable legal services, but also being willing to invest his time and thought in assisting and advising his clients and their families as they go through difficult and challenging legalities and experiences. He is compassionate and concerned and "goes the extra mile" in serving. He has chosen a staff and working partners who live up to the the same very high standards he sets for himself. An individual can go to Jonathan Swartz for legal help and never fear that he will be disappointed! Jon is a respected, competent and honorable lawyer, and a person who invests deeply in his clients and his work. I recommend him without the slightest reservation!!

I have been a client of JS&A for several years in a family law matter(s). Although my experience with court rulings have not been favorable, none of it is the fault of Jon's. Without Jon and his empathy and compassion for me as well as my children I don't know how I would have managed to handle the... situation I have found myself in. Jon is the rare attorney that is strong in his convictions, handles pressure well, and is hesitant to engage in mud slinging and personal attacks even though opposing counsel is well versed in those tactics. His door has always been open to me. Jon conducts himself with honor, placing the needs of his clients above all. His paralegal Cheryl is top notch and mirrors Jonathan's commitment to finding justice in a system where justice is elusive at best. It is obvious that Jon and Cheryl have gone the extra mile for me. They care about me as a person and a father.

Jonathan Swartz provided consultation for me in 2011. He was consistently knowledgeable, honest, detail-oriented, responsive, empathetic and understanding of what I was going through at the time. His advice is well worth his very reasonable hourly rate. I consulted with a couple other lawyers who ...were not nearly as helpful, and thankfully a friend recommended Mr. Swartz'z fine service. He actually even gave me some tax advice that ended up saving me thousands of dollars. Most importantly, he is an honest, good person, who values the truth and what is right above all else. Thank you Jonathan!

Mr. Jonathan Swartz Esquire has represented me twice in the last two years. His representation will forever linger in my heart for he and his team have made the most of efforts in supporting me and my family from across the country. Truth always prevails, and the opportunity to entrust my truths a...nd life with Swarts Law was every bit of what I hoped for. Mr. Swartz and his team are extravagant when it comes to attention to detail. When certain situations arise from the ashes, they form a unique bond within his team and search for different ending scenarios in order to be better prepared for any outcome. He studied every angle of the case and never left me uninformed. He studied relentlessly along with his team to better support myself, my children, and my family. His explanation of all that dealt with legal counsel was always well understood with his unique articulate ways and was always to the point. The Swarts Law firm worked very well with my other Law team here in Fl, making our defenses strong on the home front. Communication between both firms is indescribable. They never skipped a beat. We saw many speed bumps along our paths especially that of which was “Distance”, not being able to speak face to face was challenging. In trusting him and his team I feel as though my family is one step closer to being together once again. Faith in the system was made easy especially knowing I had a team like this to support my cause and the assuring thing was that it wasn’t about me at all…but about my children. He placed them as number one priority which set my mind at ease and allowed me a piece of mind knowing everything would be ok. Thank you Swarts Law for all that you have done, for all that you do, and all that you will do in the future. Thank you for standing with me even when I was against all odds. Thank you for being extremely professional and passionate. On behalf of myself, my children, and family again Thank you all. I will be looking forward to working with you again in the future if destiny defines it to be so. Thank you. Sebastian Solo Jr.
