Scott is an amazing attorney. After I lost my husband he helped me with a lot of life changes. His caring and compassion was more than I ever expected. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did tie me.
I sat through 3 days of lecture I’ve by Mr Swier and was in awe the entire time. I loved his passion for what he does and his knowledge of his practice. I learned so much. Thank you Mr Swier for taking time out of your busy schedule and spending it with we Wesleyan students.
Scott Swier took the time to listen to my personal situation and needs and then explained the law and how it applied to my last will, living will and dynasty trust. He then rendered sound legal advice at a very reasonable rate, answered all of my follow on questions promptly and with ease, produced the documents I needed to sign and ensured his awesome staff was there to assist me in any way necessary. Mr. Swier is a very personable and highly competent attorney. He and his staff were a joy to work with and I have great confidence in their capabilities. I feel certain that I can sleep well having chosen him and I recommend him and his firm highly.
Mr. Swier was very helpful and gracious answering our questions and addressing our concerns. He reassured us that he would be able to help us with our case and gave us relief from the pressure of the situation.
Scott listened to everything we had to tell him and took it very seriously. His connections and personality are admirable. He is very personable and cares about your well being. I can't thank him enough for everything.
Mr. Swier provided authoritative, compassionate, and timely support in response to my situation. I chose him for his high ethical standards, as well as his demonstrated expertise in legal fields of relevance to my case, and have not been disappointed in the slightest. I give him my very highest recommendation.
I live in Cairo Egypt, so when my exwife and I decided to get a divorce, I had not idea how difficult this would be. The exwife left me with the task, but thankfully I found Scott Swier. I'll never be able to thank Scott and his firm enough for being so dedicate and patient. I can now move on in my life. So appreciative to the Scott Swier firm.
He replied to my question on his site within hours. I am a professional and had a subpoena very soon, so Scott spent time over the weekend on my case. In the end, Scott was able to help me protect the confidentiality of children who were counting on me to do that. Scott is empathetic and it's clear he wants to make sure when he speaks for his clients that he understands what they are wanting to have communicated to the Court. I am extremely satisfied and would use Scott again if a situation arose. His staff is excellent in the same authentic, caring manner. I can't say enough about Swier Law Firm.

I worked with Scott on my estate planning and was very pleased with the outcome. He helped me determine my exact needs without pressuring me into choices. He took his time talking with me but finished the work very timely. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing my family will be protected!
Scott was very informative and explained all of the options available to us. Scott made sure we clearly understood the choices we had and he is so personable. He made us feel very comfortable and unafraid to ask questions. Scott has an amaizng understanding of law and is able to convey in laymans terms that knowledge to his clients.
