Excellent Family Law Attorney

I hired Edwards-Swift & Associates because I had a very "high conflict" custody matter that had to deal with the father attempting to alienate my children. My previous attorney was just not capable of doing all of the necessary things that had to be done as his office did not generally handle a case... that was so complex. Not all cases are considered high conflict and sometimes an attorney who does not specialize in family law can be utilized. However, the expertise and skills of this firm cannot be outdone. It has been a long and drawn out case because the issues involved are very difficult to prove. However, I am happy to say that so far, the job that has been done by Ms. Swift's office has been superb. This includes her staff. They are very attentive to my needs and have kept the lines of communication open consistently. Because of the issues, I have spent a lot of money but every cent paid has been worth it because of the results I have received due to the firm.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I first met Pam in 2008, when I took over a case with a hearing pending. I continued that hearing 4 times while Pam and I resolved the matter outside of court. We were successful in our efforts and never met in person. Pam was very cooperative and responsive throughout the process, while at the same time advocating for her client. The manner in which Pam practices law evidences the fact that an attorney can be a strong advocate and at the same time be a cooperative and respectful adversary. On March 26, 2010, I introduced myself to Pam at a 3-day collaborative divorce training we were both attending. We became friends immediately for many reasons, not the least of which was the fact that we both practice law in a similar way by doing what is in the best interest of our clients. I would not hesitate asking Pam to cover for me if I were ill or out of town and a client of mine needed immediate attention."
