She understands that the cost of legal services is an important consideration in any legal matter and in choosing an attorney. She uses her experience, knowledge and advocacy to successfully avoid or resolve legal claims in a cost effective manner. Attorney Swartz knows how to aggressively litigate and does so when necessary, but she also understands that many cases are better and more quickly resolved through amicable, less costly means such as negotiation and mediation, and in the business context can often be avoided all together by taking proactive steps to comply with the law and be armed with solid contracts. Collaboration is key. Attorney Swartz works with you not just for you. She ensures from the start that she understands your issues and concerns, outlines your options, and helps you assess the time and expense of each potential avenue available so that as a team a decision can made about how best to proceed. She then works endlessly to achieve the desired results.
