Click to report rating    4/10/23   5     5     5     5     5   I hired Mike to handle a really silly claim against me and my business. We brought a successful motion for Summary Judgment. He explained the process along the way and I understood the pros and cons. Thanks Mike! RID: 264771
Click to report rating    3/15/23   5     5     5     5     5   Michael was intimately familiar with our case even tho it likely was small by their standards. His knowledge of ALL our details was simply amazing, and he put together a 3-pronged approach for court. He and his team were just great to deal with at all times. We couldn't be more impressed. We recommend him without reservation. Thanks, Michael and team! RID: 264437
Click to report rating    8/26/21   5     5     5     5     5   I came to to Mr. Swindley on the advice of a friend. I was trying to leave a very toxic relationship, and needed to know my rights, and to protect my finical interests. Thankfully Michael was able to resolve my matter quickly, at a very reasonable fee. Michael's knowledge of Family Law is second to none. I would highly recommend Michael Swindley to anyone feeling their back is against the wall. Also, he has great supporting staff, who provide excellent service in a timely fashion. Thank you Mr. Swindley!!! RID: 230261

I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking for a lawyer to deal with their family law issues. Michael is the BEST!!!! RID: 228493

 7/12/19   5     5     5     5     5   I had retained another lawyer ($3500 retainer and $350+/hour) when I was served with an Application for a Family Law Dispute. She dug me a hole so deep, I was uncertain of whether I would ever get out of it. I even had Ordered a separate lawyer for my child, and she ended up picking sides, not doing her investigation properly, and hurting my case further. I ended up retaining Mike, who is more affordable and much more timely and effective. He is very knowledgeable and professional, yet down to Earth and easy to talk to, and he will let you know if you do or do not stand a chance. He worked around the clock (literally - answering emails between 10 and 11 at night!). He helped me get out of the hole these two others put me in, and finished strong with our win of the remaining parts of our Settlement. Can not recommend Mike highly enough!!! RID: 212793
Click to report rating    6/21/19   5     5     5     5     5   I sought Michael Swindley's assistance on a limited scope and was very impressed with his efficiency, knowledge, and professionalism. He helped me on very short notice and tight timelines. Despite the time crunch, his work was thorough and in my view, way above standard for what he charged. RID: 212285
Click to report rating    6/27/18   4     2     1     1     1   Choose your lawyer wisely. He might end up being best friends with your ex's lawyer. I spent nearly $2000 getting precisely nowhere. The two lawyers reaped the rewards via my hard earned money and her welfare benefits. After boldly stating that my ex and I had spoken about where we wanted to be and how we wanted to get there, little to no effort was made. Mr. Swindley ended up being a nearly devastating disappointment in a time when I needed hope. RID: 201025
Click to report rating    1/16/18   5     5     5     5     5   I retained Mike for a matter in Cornwall. He was great. Took care of my matter. Couldn't be happier. RID: 194919

 9/12/17   5     5     5     5     5   I had gone through a few lawyers and was tired of being let down and not making any progress in my case. I actually googled "best lawyer in Kingston area" and his name came up. I had extremely high hopes for him, and he surpassed them all! He is very realistic and won't just say ok and take your money. Every time I told him something I wanted that he knew wasn't realistic, he would tell me right away that it wouldn't work so I wouldn't waste any money. I put my complete trust in him. Anything he thought was a good idea, or a bad idea. I was right to do so. I thought my case would be impossible (was even refused by lawyers) and Michael Swindley helped me come out victorious! I still can't believe to this day what he has helped me accomplish. He is a miracle worker and I would recommend him to anyone. Put your faith in him and follow what he says and you won't be disappointed! He was even more affordable than other lawyers! Thank you so much for what you have done for my family! RID: 190306
Click to report rating    3/22/17   5     5     5     5     5   Michael is the perfect balance of quality legal expertise and the consummate professional par excellence. He is concise, efficient and will always have your best interests in focus. I completely trust him with all my legal matters. I am blessed by the results of having Michael represent me. He is cost effective and well prepared for all legal proceedings. Look no further: simply the best lawyer you can ever have in your corner. Thank-you Michael. RID: 182347
Click to report rating    10/1/16   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Swindley was recommended through friends of ours he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout our entire case. Within a VERY short timeframe he was able to resolve all situations and give us the best legal advise that suited our needs. He was extremely helpful and we would recommend he every time. RID: 175072
Click to report rating    9/30/16   5     5     5     5     5   Very knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. Straight shooter. Great guy. Goes the extra mile every time RID: 175066
Click to report rating    8/30/16   5     5     5     5     5   Mike is an amazing lawyer who truly has his clients' best interest at heart 100% of the way. Extremely knowledgeable, he reduces stress (and costs) by narrowing matters down to the real issues and explaining clear potential outcomes based on the law. His straightforward approach is extremely refreshing. He keeps in regular contact when working on a case which makes his client feel in the loop and supported the entire time. I highly recommend Mike and would trust him with any of my legal matters. RID: 173647
Click to report rating    3/10/16   5     5     5     5     5   I'd endured years in a long drawn out divorce with no settlement anywhere in site. Matters were bogged down in peripheral section 7 matters which seemed intentionally stalled by the other side. Mike was my 4th lawyer and I was feeling hopeless by this stage. Mike is a detail man, up front, efficient, honest and responsive on levels rarely seen with lawyers. I was instantly impressed. Within months I had a settlement at a literal fraction of the cost I'd blown in the years preceding. I continue to use him for small follow-up matters and am consistently incredibly impressed with his quick response and common sense manner. RID: 166451
Click to report rating    2/25/16   5     5     5     5     5   I can't say enough good things about Mike. He was recomended to me by a friend after I parted ways with my local Brockville lawyer. I've gone through a very difficult divorce and Mike was there for me every step of the way. He always has my best interest at heart. Mike is always quick to get back to me if I have any concerns. He's a very smart, strategic lawyer. He successfully had a firearms prohibiton withdrawn which had been placed on me. It never even made it to court. Hes very knowledgeable about the court process and the law. Both cival and criminal. Mike also successfully negotiated my custody and divorce settlement, avoiding a costly trial. Mike genuinely cares about his clients and works hard for you. I highly recommend him. RID: 165823
Click to report rating    2/11/16   5     5     5     5     5   Not only did Mike get an excellent outcome of our case, he gave us confidence that we deserved it. During the case, he was immediately responsive to our questions and requests for information and accessible at all times. As well, he gave credence to our input. He was clear and concise in the information he provided and provided the necessary information to help us understand the law involved, and he had an in-depth knowledge of the relevant law. The quality of his work was above reproach. I've worked with many lawyers in my career and would not hesitate to recommend Mike Swindley to friends or family. RID: 165228
Click to report rating    2/11/16   5     5     5     5     5   Mike was very professional!! Always there when I needed him...quick response time and very intelligent!! RID: 165216
Click to report rating    7/17/15   5     5     5     5     5   Mike was great. I wanted a second opinion and came from Toronto to meet with him on a recommendation. I'm glad I did. I learned more from him in our first meeting than I did during the whole time I had my last lawyer. RID: 156848
Click to report rating    10/29/14   5     5     5     5     5   I found Michael to be extremely knowledgeable. He gave me wonderful guidance and helped me win a settlement with my spouse when my previous attorney said there was no hope. RID: 145342
Click to report rating    10/28/14   5     5     5     5     5   We are thrilled with the results Michael obtained for us. He is an excellent communicator, professional in every way, and we felt cared-for at every step of the process. He accurately forecast the outcome and was well prepared for court. Had we switched lawyers, we would not have been as well served. We highly recommend Michael. RID: 145285
