We just closed on both the house we sold and the house we just bought! Mary McSwain and her team did an excellent job. It could have been a domino effect from our buyers' buyer down the line but their efficient coordination and communication helped to make a smooth closing. Thank you Mary and your team ! -

I hired Mary McSwain through a referral. She assisted me in a two-year grueling process of divorce for which I am very grateful today. She is a professional who really understands the law and and the court system. As a lay person, the legal process was/is very nebulous to me. During the 2 years there were moments of doubt and discouragement. I realized during this process that Mary had the whole thing masterfully tethered. She anticipated and executed every legal requirement in a timely manner. She made clear everything that was entitled to me under the law and made those her goals. I realized those moments of doubt were because I was not fully trusting and listening to Mary. She can be trusted 100%. She holds herself to a high standard of integrity which is clearly visible. I have referred her to others and will continue to refer her to anyone who says, "Do you know a good attorney?" My response is, "I will give you the name of an excellent one!"

Mary did and excellent job making sure my family received all that was deserved as I fought a ten year battle. She is professional, knowledgeable, and really goes after what’s right. Mary and her team made sure I was updated throughout the process and details were explained as they happened. I am extremely grateful to the dedication given to my case and happy it’s behind me.

Mary did a great job with my real estate sale, which was also part of a divorce settlement. She went above and beyond the call of duty to handle some challenging issues, and got everything done in a timely, professional fashion.

I am eternally grateful to Mary McSwain for helping make the divorce process as smooth as possible. Mary provided me with the information and resources that I needed to make informed choices. Her expertise and guidance throughout the process was of great value to me. I felt incredibly supported by Mary and her staff. She is an excellent communicator and was willing to respond to all of my email questions and phone calls. Mary appreciates her clients and works extra hard to ensure that her clients' needs are met. I greatly appreciate Mary and highly recommend her services to you!

I hired Mary as a referral many years ago to help me with post-decree child support issues. My husband was abusive and very scary. Mary didn't flinch and never relented until every dime owed me was recovered. Mary was always accessible and supportive during my desperate time of need. subsequently, for many, many years, she has handled my family's needs and my business/real estate needs. My children have used her many times and I have referred her everyone who are always satisfied and they always call to thank me. You will not be disappointed with this choice of attorney!

My ex-wife and her attorney kept returning to court for one thing or another. Mary finally got everything I wished for and more and it is finally finished! She was professional and her fees were very reasonable.

Mary helped me resolve spurious motions against me. She was organized, prepared and reasonable in her arguments. Due to her diligence, I prevailed and and very happy with the results. Thanks!

Mary McSwain was referred to me by my brother. He had her handle a few transactions for him in the past and recommended her to me. From the first phone call, Mary and her assistant Lynn were nothing but professional. Mary explained every detail of the sale of my house to me and that was helpful since I knew nothing about selling a house. She was timely with her verbal and written responses. I dealt a lot with Lynn who is her assistant and she is just as incredible. The people that I had around me for the sale and purchase of new property were awful. The only bright spots in the storm were Mary and Lynn!!! Mary was prompt and on time for every meeting and phone call. I just can not say enough about how much Mary and Lynn helped me through this process. Best people ever!!!!!

We were very satisfied with the work from Mary McSwain in our recent sale of property and purchase of new property and would highly recommend her work to anyone. Thank you again for your services. Respectfully, Lynne and Rick P.

I rarely leave bad reviews for anything, but Mary was very disappointing. In my personal opinion, she gained my trust and then majorly failed me. My case was domestic, I was pregnant and she had me leave my home the night before she went on vacation to Europe. The next morning there was an emergency hearing. The lawyer she used to represent me when she was gone had me meet her 10 minutes before trial to go over my case. I was not prepared at all, the lawyer did not litigate and I lost temporary custody of my son due to the lies of my ex husband. My bill was ran up very high that day. I had to go on leave from work for bed rest and then had my child who needed to stay in the nicu. That, along with an unpaid maternity leave, left me scraping to get by. I did not have the money to pay Mary. She then had a male lawyer call me repeatedly in an attempt to collect $6000, while taking care of a sick newborn, so she then sued me for the money in small claims court. I did not show up to court so she had the judge put a lien on my house. I had sent Mary emails, she knew what was going on, she knew I had no money, I begged her to reconsider court. Mary was very cold, and apathetic after my trial. She showed no remorse for leaving me with poor representation and during such an emotional time that was very upsetting. I developed ulcers from all the stress of being sued and taking care of two children under 3. It was not a joyous time, because of the stress she caused that whole year with my children was a blur and Ive lost that time of their youth forever....I can NEVER get that back. So the price of using Mary cost me much more than any monetary value. This was over two years ago. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again to another helpless person. Be very careful who you choose.

Mary did an outstanding job handling my divorce. She was very realistic and honest with me regarding my expectations and explaining the pros and cons of the issues as they arose. Her guidance proved to be necessary as it surfaced many times when tough choices had to be made. Mary and her staff promptly answered my phone messages and emails never making me feel as though I was imposing or rushed. Her knowledge of the law coupled with her experience and compassion made an an extremely unpleasant situation bearable. Mary was able to help me achieve the best possible outcome for my situation and I will be forever grateful.
