Firm: Swanson Law Group

Swanson Law Group prides itself on taking care of our clients and their families. An injury causes more than just pain and limitation.  There is the uncertainty that gets created by not being able to work and pay the bills because of an injury.  There is the difficulty in locating a qualified physician to put you back on the road to recovery.

First, is to get you healthy again. We have access to specialists in all areas who are not only excellent physicians but will withstand the insurance companies' attempt to minimize your injuries at trial. Don't have health insurance?  No problem. Many of the physicians we recommend will provide medical treatment on a lien.The second priority is to get you just compensation. We know a lot about pain and suffering. It's more than just feeling hurt.  It's the look in your children's eyes when you can't pick them up or play with them like you used to. It's the look that your wife or husband gives when you no longer are the one that can be relied upon to put food on the table or take care of the family. It's the frustration that you might feel when relying on others for support. An injury can make you feel like a shadow of who you once were.At the Swanson Law Group we live by a code. The best way to settle a case is to prepare it for trial. We are trial lawyers and are willing to take any valid case all the way. The insurance companies know this and often times will ultimately pay our clients a fair amount before trial.  If they don't, then we have the experience and know how to win at trial.
