If you're looking for someone who will not only represent you as a client but treat you like family, Schwartz Law Firm... is the place to go! They went above and beyond to make sure that anything that I needed was taken care of, they were very responsive anytime that I had questions and even checked in on me when I didn't have them, not only during the case but after as well. I was recommended by a friend to consult them and I am glad that I was, so I am recommending anyone who is looking for someone who will treat you with nothing but respect and look out for you, this is the place to go! Thanks for representing me & a special thanks to William ( my attorney ) for doing everything in his power to assist me during the duration of my case! ( I'd give you all more stars but sadly 5 is the max )read more

I arrived 30 minutes early to my appointment for 10AM waited patiently and filled out a form. Chris Schwartz didn't see... me until 10:30AM. Mind you, he went back and forth multiples times to fill up his cup of water. I wouldn't reccomend. No apologies.Update: Chris Schwartz texted me saying he couldn't represent my case. Like I said, I wouldn't reccomend. They respond with "courtesy jargon" by saying call them back, when I wrote this review after I recieved a personal text from Chris saying he cannot represent me."Non client" is a funny way of putting it.read more
