I had a great experience with Mr. Swinyard. My divorce was complicated, but Eric answered me when I had questions and resolved complicated situations like a process server not doing an adequate job and then trying to overcharge me. He went out of his way to make sure I wasn’t charged for it and found a new process server to do the job. Eric’s assistant Lynda was wonderful and his costs were very reasonable. He and his office were conscientious about my financial needs and made sure I knew when charges were going to be made, so it wasn’t a surprise. He is a great resource if you need a divorce!

Very professional and represented both parties fairly. At the end of the day, we received such empathy and understanding at a very difficult time. Highly recommend Eric and Preston without reservation. Their fees are more than reasonable and their service more than expected.
