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

It's Never Ideal

It's never ideal to find yourself in a situation where you need a criminal attorney. Never. However, Mr. Swanberg believed me and treated me with respect, working towards the best possible resolution of my case. It took some time but all charges were dropped. I'm grateful for his patience with me at ...times when I was upset with the process, and impressed with his accessibility and candor... And his affordability. He quoted an upfront price in my case and stuck by it, despite multiple court appearances and my constant questions. (Thank you, Sam for putting up with me!)

Sam is a man of character

Sam Swanberg is a capable attorney and a quality man. Sam was recommended to me after an out of town attorney put me in an adverse position with the prosecuting attorney in a criminal case. Sam asked lots of questions, looked me in the eye and listened to my case to see if he could help. He called... me at night and helped put my concerns at ease. Through much work starting in a disparaging place he was able to negotiate an acceptable outcome. Sam is through, he plays to win, he doesn’t promise what he can’t deliver, and he thinks through every detail before he moves. His personality is level headed, he did his homework, and worked with the prosecuting attorney for a favorable outcome. From the start Sam planned for a trial, I appreciated this as it shows his attention to every detail. What I appreciate about Sam the most is his character. I feel he cares about what he does, it is important for him to do his best, and he wants to do what is right. I hope I am never in the position I was in ever, but I would unhesitatingly use him again or recommend him to someone else.
