Testimonials

She understood exactly what I needed, exactly how to do it, and why I wanted it done quickly and correctly. Michelle her paralegal got to work immediately, telling me exactly what I needed to supply and what and when they would be doing things on their end. Emily, Michelle and Alexandra were good to their word. They never asked for something twice, they never stalled, they kept me on task for the timeline I set. They reviewed my materials and understood them without charging me if they had additional, simple questions. They emailed me copies of every filing. When I hit an obstacle, they helped me get around it. Emily is outstanding in court, working with me and my former husband to come to an agreement we were both satisfied with, but first and foremost looking out for my best interest. When things went sideways and I didn't know what to do, they took the reins to move the case forward, knowing what was best for my current and long-term situation and not stopping until things were resolved. I don't know what I would have done without the McSwain Rapp Law, LLC team. I recommend McSwain Rapp Law, LLC to anybody wanting truly ethical and competent counsel in family law.

Thank you,

I cannot say enough good things about this firm! Emily and Alexandra were excellent attorneys from the very start. They were both knowledgeable about legal process and the best way to proceed based on my specific set of circumstances. I always knew what to expect with my case. They returned my calls and emails promptly, and the office manager was always willing to listen and be empathic. I never felt rushed. They gave balanced advice, were efficient and prepared in court and pushed my case to conclusion. And always cost conscious, which I was relieved about. They invested their energy towards getting me the best possible outcome, and I did – full custody of my daughter. I am forever grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them.

I am very satisfied after having Emily represent me. Emily was able to get me above what I was expecting in my child support case. She was prepared and had me prepped before court every time. The matter was handled efficiently. We only had a handful of court proceedings. I now feel better and have a positive outlook after going through this event!!!

We just closed on both the house we sold and the house we just bought! Mary McSwain and her team did an excellent job. It could have been a domino effect from our buyers' buyer down the line but their efficient coordination and communication helped to make a smooth closing. Thank you Mary and your team ! -

I hired Mary McSwain through a referral. She assisted me in a two-year grueling process of divorce for which I am very grateful today. She is a professional who really understands the law and and the court system. As a lay person, the legal process was/is very nebulous to me. During the 2 years there were moments of doubt and discouragement. I realized during this process that Mary had the whole thing masterfully tethered. She anticipated and executed every legal requirement in a timely manner. She made clear everything that was entitled to me under the law and made those her goals. I realized those moments of doubt were because I was not fully trusting and listening to Mary. She can be trusted 100%. She holds herself to a high standard of integrity which is clearly visible. I have referred her to others and will continue to refer her to anyone who says, "Do you know a good attorney?" My response is, "I will give you the name of an excellent one!"

Mary did and excellent job making sure my family received all that was deserved as I fought a ten year battle. She is professional, knowledgeable, and really goes after what’s right. Mary and her team made sure I was updated throughout the process and details were explained as they happened. I am extremely grateful to the dedication given to my case and happy it’s behind me.

Mary did a great job with my real estate sale, which was also part of a divorce settlement. She went above and beyond the call of duty to handle some challenging issues, and got everything done in a timely, professional fashion.

-Suzanne

I am eternally grateful to Mary McSwain for helping make the divorce process as smooth as possible. Mary provided me with the information and resources that I needed to make informed choices. Her expertise and guidance throughout the process was of great value to me. I felt incredibly supported by Mary and her staff. She is an excellent communicator and was willing to respond to all of my email questions and phone calls. Mary appreciates her clients and works extra hard to ensure that her clients' needs are met. I greatly appreciate Mary and highly recommend her services to you!

-Donna

I hired Mary as a referral many years ago to help me with post-decree child support issues. My husband was abusive and very scary. Mary didn't flinch and never relented until every dime owed me was recovered. Mary was always accessible and supportive during my desperate time of need. subsequently, for many, many years, she has handled my family's needs and my business/real estate needs. My children have used her many times and I have referred her everyone who are always satisfied and they always call to thank me. You will not be disappointed with this choice of attorney!

-MaryAnn

My ex-wife and her attorney kept returning to court for one thing or another. Mary finally got everything I wished for and more and it is finally finished! She was professional and her fees were very reasonable.

-Gregory

Mary helped me resolve spurious motions against me. She was organized, prepared and reasonable in her arguments. Due to her diligence, I prevailed and and very happy with the results. Thanks!

Mary McSwain was referred to me by my brother. He had her handle a few transactions for him in the past and recommended her to me. From the first phone call, Mary and her assistant Lynn were nothing but professional. Mary explained every detail of the sale of my house to me and that was helpful since I knew nothing about selling a house. She was timely with her verbal and written responses. I dealt a lot with Lynn who is her assistant and she is just as incredible. The people that I had around me for the sale and purchase of new property were awful. The only bright spots in the storm were Mary and Lynn!!! Mary was prompt and on time for every meeting and phone call. I just can not say enough about how much Mary and Lynn helped me through this process. Best people ever!!!!!

-Lori

We were very satisfied with the work from Mary McSwain in our recent sale of property and purchase of new property and would highly recommend her work to anyone. Thank you again for your services. Respectfully, Lynne and Rick P.

-Lynne and Rick

Mary did an outstanding job handling my divorce. She was very realistic and honest with me regarding my expectations and explaining the pros and cons of the issues as they arose. Her guidance proved to be necessary as it surfaced many times when tough choices had to be made. Mary and her staff promptly answered my phone messages and emails never making me feel as though I was imposing or rushed. Her knowledge of the law coupled with her experience and compassion made an an extremely unpleasant situation bearable. Mary was able to help me achieve the best possible outcome for my situation and I will be forever grateful.

Mary has been such a blessing to me through this entire process. She has been there for advice, counsel, and a good laugh when it's needed! She is extremely personable, but professional when needed, and she makes you feel comfortable in every situation. She understands the emotions in her line of work, and has done an amazing job at helping me cope and get through the process. She has also made every effort to expedite this process for me. During our first meeting, I mentioned that I was hoping this could go quickly, and I was never left wondering when she would get back to me. She was very efficient in everything she did, and never let an extended period of time go between our conversations and any updates. I would recommend her 100%. It is comforting to know that I am being represented by the best!

Mary McSwain handled my divorce. She's direct, has years of experience and clearly conducts herself/business with a high degree of integrity. She followed through on every promise and expectation. Mary provided me with solid advice. I have the utmost respect for her. She obviously leads her staff by example, they were outstanding as well. I highly recommend her. She has a nonsense approach and does not waste time. Five stars PLUS.

-Karen

Mary has a great demeanor about her, she is direct, and helps you understand the key points of your case as opposed to worrying about the nonsense that comes with divorce cases. Her honesty and her insight enabled me to stay focused on the key items and not get lost in the rhetoric. When opposing counsel tried to take our case off track, she acted decisively and swiftly to ensure that we only discussed the items before the Court. This saved time, money and allowed us to settle the items before the Court in a clear and decisive manner. I recommend Mary to any potential client who needs a lawyer that is focused, puts their clients issues first, and gives you straight factual talk (as opposed to feeding emotional rhetoric). She is a first class act.

-SJ

I hired Mary to assist me with child support issues with my ex-husband. She is fantastic. She knows exactly what she is talking about and where to go before you can even finish your sentence. She doesn't let you sweat the small stuff that will only stress you out even more, she dives into the case head first with no nonsense. She is honest and will tell you exactly what she thinks without sugar coating anything so that you don't have false hopes. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or having to go back to court for a breech in your agreement. I will absolutely give her a call if/when I need her again!

Very knowlegeable, hardworking, excellent attorney. Goes the extra mile to give the finest talent in contested family law cases. Well prepared and knows how try a case. Simply one of best attorneys in the county and statewide.
