Within a minute of talking to Scott you will realize you are not only dealing with an incredibly capable and diligent attorney, but rarer still, someone who is going to take your case on as his own. Scott is thoughtful and asks all the right questions. He was able to resolve things with a minimum of time, expense, and aggravation. Thank you, Scott.

Scott is a great attorney. He's very responsive, engaging, and thorough. Scott wants what's best for his client - and you can trust his opinion. He gave me sage advice during a sticky situation - I am not sure how much I can write because my case actually involved social media, freedom of speech, the Free Trade Agreement, HIPPA and I signed a document saying I would never talk about my particular case online in a public forum again. However, he made the other guy cry uncle and ensured I was not sued for defamation while also helping right wrongs done unto me (including requiring a note of apology from the guy who wanted to sue me). Hopefully I won't need legal help again, but if I do, Scott will be my first call.

He tells you like it is. Very honest and quick response. I highly recommend him for any family law or anything.

I rate my Mr. Swafford Excellent. He was there when i needed him. He was able to drop the protective order case and the assault charge. He was avialable all times of the day. Whenever i called he was there to guide me in the right direction. He didn't feel like a starnger to me but a friend.

As a consumer, it is extremely daunting, frustrating and confusing when you are up against a large corporation. For months I had battled with corporate run around and was on the verge of accepting defeat even though I knew I had been legitimately wronged. I felt my voice was small in a sea of unsatisfied customers. Scott gave me a voice, fought for me and justice prevailed. When I initially began contacting lawyers in my area, I held conversations with lawyers that were not willing to take the time to understand the issue, wanted outlandish retainer fees or just didn't understand the law supporting my claim. Scott was completely personable and available. He was willing to listen as I fully explained my issue. He knew the laws supporting my claim off the top of his head and was incredibly knowledgeable. He had a completely reasonable fee. In addition, when I accidentally overpaid him, he notified me and destroyed the check! A completely honest individual and that I would absolutely work with again. He was very easy to get ahold of and always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. From one veteran to another, I also thank him for his service. I highly recommend Scott Swafford.

I would like to recommend Scott Michael Swafford for you family law services for the issue you are having or maybe facing. Scott was well professional and knowledgeable in regards to family law. Mr. Swafford provided outstanding services and prepared me for the outcome of my issue. I am 100% satisfied with his services and I would like to recommend him.

He was hired in early 2013 to help our company go after people that defrauded us. In the beginning, he was very responsive, once he was paid in full, after two and a half months; he began a pattern of not responding to emails and phone messages. He would ignore questions about the case and not answer questions asked. Often times he would apologize for missing scheduled conference calls as well as for not responding back after weeks and months had passed. After repeated emails, and phone messages, he would sometimes respond back with very brief updates and ignore questions that were asked. He did not provide documents as he said he would, even after we ask for it. He did not get depositions of people as well as did not include people in the suit that he was instructed and agreed to do. He said he would expedite and help us finish this case, and he did not. It is now almost four years and he has disappeared from responding back by email, or responding back to phone messages or answering his phone. He did not give us a reason as to why he does not or did not finish our case. There were many instances he said he would do things but did not. We have always been polite and professional with him. We have all the emails to substantiate these actions. So much time has been lost. Now that we have to find another attorney to finish what he was suppose to do; we are very disappointed and dissatisfy with his conduct and service.
