About
I was born in Oakland, CA. I attended college at the University of California, Davis. I graduated with a major in English and minors in Math and Chemistry. I attended law school at Lincoln University. I graduated in 1976, first in my class, with a juris doctorate and was admitted to practice in all of the California State Courts and the Federal Courts in 1976. I was admitted to the Washington D.C. bar in 1978. I taught Business Law at San Jose State University from 1985 through 2010. I have practiced exclusively family law for the past twenty years. I am a member of the State Bar of California, Santa Clara County Bar Association, International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and Collaborative Practice Silicon Valley. I sit as a Settlement Officer Conference pro tem and/or a Settlement Conference judge pro tem once a month. I was voted one of Silicon Valley’s Top Lawyers in 2001 - 2007 by San Jose Magazine. I have been married for 34 years. My wife, Suzann, is also an attorney. We have two grown children; a daughter, age 30 and a son age 28. I jog, snow ski, mountain bike, fly fish and make my way to Napa, Tahoe, and Hawaii at least once a year.

I would and have recommended this lawyer to several of my friends. I would be willing to estimate that referrals for Family Law Attorneys are on the low side of the scale. Mr. Macswain was a voice of reason during an unreasonable process. He was available whenever the need arose over a protracted divorce that was unpleasant for everyone. I appreciate the way he was able to make things seem more reasonable and in the end we worked this case in collaboration - read his ego does not get in the way of achieving a successful outcome. The only reason I gave a 4 star on "kept me informed," is that I am a busy body and can't keep out of my own case - so sometimes I had to find out things on my own, not a fault of the attorney. In all, go for someone that you can trust implicitly, Mr. MacSwain is that person.
