Mr. Swanberg is very professional

Sam was very helpful and was able to guide us when we needed him most. He was very professional and helped us to figure out what our next steps would be in the justice system. Thank you for your help!

Excellent legal representation

A defense attorney is like a life raft, you hope you never have to use one, but if you ever do you want the best. Mr. Swanberg is the best. In 2015 Sam represented our juvenile child who found himself in significant legal trouble. I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Swanberg's counsel and guidance t...hrough the complicated legal proceedings. He helped us understand the court system, made numerous calls and visits on our son's behalf, and provided excellent legal advice. Thanks to Mr. Swanberg we were able to find a legal remedy that prevented our son from having a life time of consequences for a bad choice. Mr. Swanberg is compassionate and understanding towards his client and fearless in the court room. Without hesitation, I give Mr. Swanberg my highest recommendation. If circumstances required I, or my family, need representation in the future, Sam Swanberg is the first person I would call

Candid, Knowledgeable, and Persuasive

Mr. Swanberg is a skilled attorney who is very candid and straightforward. I went to Sam for legal advice prior to hiring him in my custody/relocation case, and he gave me very helpful advice as to what was possible, what was advisable, and what was a waste of time/money, which I appreciated. Sam...'s arguments in front of the judge were on-point, direct and persuasive. He took every opportunity to get the point across and to reemphasize the most critical arguments. Sam seemed especially knowledgeable about family law and what particular evidence or burdens that needed to be met to get the result I wanted. I did have a billing dispute with Mr. Swanberg, but it was resolved much to my satisfaction. I appreciated his personally reaching out to me to make sure that I was happy. Recommended!
