Hired Attorney Christopher Swatosh

Chris was more expensive than our original lawyer but the results speak for themselves: all charges dropped! You could not ask for a more knowledgeable and determined attorney. He's very strategic and will have a plan to provide you with the best results possible in your case. You have to be patient and follow his advice because that's just the reality when moving through a criminal case, but he is in it for the long haul. We were advised before we hired him that he was a bulldog and that is absolutely true, he will sink his teeth in and not let go till he's got his results.

Mr. Swatosh is the most honest, trustworthy, compassionate and hard working person I have met. I would not use any other attorney for any legal issue. I have recommended him to all my friends for services ranging from speeding tickets or bankruptcy to divorce and personal injury.

I would like to let EVERYONE know that my experience with Chris Swatosh, I could not even accurately describe with words, but I will try. I have used him as an attorney on MULTIPLE occasions, on things that were as important as life itself, literally. He has went above and beyond any and all conceivable expectations, and achieved exactly what I NEEDED and wanted WHEN IT MATTERED THE MOST. I could not recommend a finer lawyer in the state of Missouri. If you choose Chris, in the end, when it's all said and done, you will still be standing, with a smile on your face. I promise you that.

He listened to me, helped me to formulate a plan, and then put it into place. He has truly went above and beyond. My son is the most important thing in my life and there's no one else I would trust to help me protect him. I'm so thankful that we have Mr. Swatosh fighting for him!

I was facing 30 years. DA had me dead to right. Chris got me off with a 2-hour educational class. Charges dropped. A real Powerhouse Lawyer! He's expensive but he has strings to pull.

He was more talk than do.For three thousand dollars I expected more for the money. I expected this matter to be threw out as he said in the beginnings. I paid $500 dollars a month to paid. My son got 5 years supervised probation when I expected it to be dropped.For a poor person it cost me way too much.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
