Amazing Attorney!

Wow, Mr. Swiatek did a fantastic job on my case! He was the third Lawyer I called when I was looking for legal Representation after getting arrested in a County 2 hours away from where I lived. He should have been the very first and the only lawyer I called, because he went above and beyond for my case. I originally chose Mr. Swiatek as the best fit for my case, because he returned my call very quickly, and he did so from his cell phone on a business Holiday that he was still tirelessly working on his other cases even though the office was closed that day to observe the Holiday. My case was a simple misdemeanor case, but I had never been arrested for anything before so this felt like a huge deal to me. Even though my case was a relatively small one Mr. Swiatek took it very seriously. He is very efficient, professional, and definitely knows what he is doing! He was able to get my case completely dismissed, and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the outcome. Mr. Swiatek truly did do everything he said he would do, and even more. He deserves 100 stars! Thank you Mr. Swiatek!

I'm Free

In 1996, I was 17 year old juvenile who was involved in a situation where a young mans Life was tragically lost. I was not the individual who took the young man's life, but the courts found me just as culpable as the individual who actually committed the homicide. After years of fighting my case to prove my innocence, all too which was to no avail, unto my family hired Mr Glenn swiatek. Mr swiatek gave my case the care and the time it needed, and ultimately I was released from a court order life sentence, to time served.this man's knowledge of the law and his court presence is awe inspiring and captivating. I am forever in his debt, for it is no every day that a real live miracle worker comes into people's lives.......thank you Mr swiatek, you have my highest respect and eternal devotion...may God continue to bless you. Respectfully Patrick Smith ll
