As the relative of one of Mr. Swerling's clients who faced criminal charges, I would like to share my experience with Mr. Swerling as our attorney. Mr. Swerling communicated with us every step of the way. He and his staff were very polite and empathetic to his clients' charges and concerns. My relative is now home, free at last, and able to be a productive member of society again. With the help of God and Mr. Swerling representing us, we are extremely grateful. We could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Jack Swerling got me the most favorable outcome possible w/ the charges I was facing. He worked tirelessly with the solicitor, speaking in my favor, & pushing for a sentence that kept me from being incarcerated for 15 years. Now, I am able to continue working, caring for my elderly mother, & raising my 17-year-old daughter. Through this experience, he was not only my attorney, but he became a dear friend. Hopefully, I'll never need another criminal defense attorney, but in the event I do, he'll be the first one I seek for representation. I HIGHLY recommend him for anyone's criminal defense needs!

Jack Swerling represented my nephew on the charge of involuntary manslaughter and he was found NOT GUILTY. This was a high profile contentious homicide trial. Our family was aware that he is recognized for his legacy of powerful courtroom victories. He places the highest emphasis on trial skills. He stands for honesty and integrity in representation. He has fought and won for clients in State and Federal Court, He has earned countless awards for his trial accomplishments, He is without doubt, "the best-known criminal lawyer in the Nation!

Thank you Jack Swerling for taking our case and doing an outstanding job in getting the case dismissed. What initially was a stressful time for my family turned into a time of confidence after speaking with you. You treated us as though we were your family and we will be forever grateful. Your reputation definitely preceded you and I will tell anybody out there that’s looking for an attorney that is gonna throw his everything in your case and treat you like family, Jack Swerling and his paralegal Ebony English are just the best. Thank you Ebony for always keeping us informed and reassuring us all the time “don’t worry, Jack got this”, you really made us feel great. You guys are indeed the best!!!

From the beginning Mr Swerling was everything you’d hope for when put in a position of being wrongfully accused. During what seemed to be the most trying time in my life he fought for true justice and I would highly recommend him if you find yourself in that type of situation.
