No one ever wants to have to hire a criminal defense attorney. I have had to twice in my life for two unrelated members of my extended family. The first was over 12 years ago. Had I not come across Mr. Dave Swanson, the results could have been devastating. He was able to show the prosecutor that we were not going to plea, that we were not going to back down, and that the charge was totally misrepresented. The charge was dismissed thanks to Mr. Swanson and his expertise in navigating the system. The second time hiring Mr. Swanson was to represent a member of the family against a possible felony conviction that literally could have ruined someone’s life. This was a crime that the person was being charged with BUT DID NOT COMMIT. He hired investigators, interviewed people, compared statements, dissected the event. He was there to defend the rights of the accused. That is what a good criminal defense lawyer should do. The process was long and drawn out, over a year and a half, however, not once did I lose faith and I knew that the representation was the best. This charge was dismissed after the second day of trial, thanks to Mr. Swanson. Mr. Swanson is an expert in the field of criminal defense. He knows his stuff. He knows the players: judges, prosecutors, other big-league plaintiff firms. Don’t think that that isn’t important. When you know the players you also know their points of views, their prejudices, their pet-peeves…thus, you know how to handle them. Mr. Swanson is a highly-skilled attorney and ALWAYS represents his clients with diligence and respect, with hard-work and a sound defense. He is trial-savvy, which many attorneys are not. He knows what is at stake and how to handle it.

Dave Swanson was referred to us by a friend who is a family law attorney in Newport Beach. We interviewed him and knew right away he was our guy. We relied on his knowledge of the law and years of experience negotiating in the Orange County courts. He acted with honesty and integrity throughout the case and got us the best outcome we could have expected.

Dave Swanson handled a very delicate criminal case for me and I can find few words that describe my gratitude and compliments that Dave well deserves for his expertise and ability to negotiate all felony charges dropped in my family member's case. Kudos to an excellent attorney! Carole N - Anaheim, CA

I could not be happier with my attorney David Swanson. I was lucky to find him. He has handled 3 cases for my family. The outcome for each case has been optimal. He takes the time to go over the case details and works for the best outcome. THANK YOU!!!
