Awards & Honors
My highest recommendation for Mark Swatik. I live out of state and needed an attorney to represent me in an estate matter in Southern California. I looked at reviews for attorneys in the area and his reviews stood out as quite good so I selected him to represent me after a phone interview.
Goes above and beyond. Excellent Estate Attorney.
First impressions… Mark Swatik is a professional attorney with integrity who cares about his clients. He helped my mom with a complex estate planning scenario including trusts and a blend of two families. His caring nature and exceptional law background are exactly what Mom needed. He listened to Mom, explained the process thoroughly, and was always there for her when she needed him. Mark handled the situation beautifully.
I am honored to recommend Mark Swatik, JD, MBA to those seeking estate planning, living trusts and legal advice regarding family law. I retained Mark’s services for a living trust and assistance settling my mother’s estate. When I contacted him, I was overwhelmed and stressed due to my own critical medical condition and legal issues after the passing of my mother. Mark immediately put me at ease and explained everything in a way that I could easily understand.
Mark Swatik was a huge help! I needed to settle a family matter I realized that I had to go through the probate court. I had no clue where to start so I started with internet and googled the reviews on probate lawyers in the area . I can honestly say, all of Mark’s reviews were on point. And if I’m being honest here, he had so many good ones-I was doubtful. Mark was helpful, straightforward, and really knew the probate process and he was able to keep me on track at each step and he was firm when he needed to be.
