Professional staff with outstanding results.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding work that Jack Swerling has done. Back in October of 2011 my life was change for the worse when I was falsely accused of a crime. I’m a 26 year veteran that continue to serve our country with nothing but distinction and honor.

There are no words describe the gratitude I have for Jack Swerling. In today's society not everyone charged with a crime is guilty. My representation by Jack was flawless and proved to a jury of my peers that I was innocent. His knowledge of the legal system is amazing. Not only that he truly cared about my family. I remember a conversation I had with him when discussing his fees and he very politely advised me that you get what you pay for. Never before have there ever been a more statement.

Jack Swerling represented me on a complicated criminal case with exceptional competence, diligence, candor, dedication, honesty and hard work. Out of a team of four lawyers he was the only one to consistently respond to my requests for information typically in the timeframe of less than 60 minutes, always. He provided exceptional leadership and guidance to our team of junior attorneys as they were positively influenced by his strong character, honesty, and high ethical standards.

My husband and I were very pleased with Jack and his office. He made us feel as if he were going above and beyond for us. Any questions we had no matter how many times we asked he answered without becoming frustrated or impatient. The courts are Jack's playground so to speak, you really get to see all of his years of practice come to pass. He was pleasing to watch in action. He has respect for the law its like his baby. I will speak of Jack and his work years from now.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
