Swerling Law

Originally from South Carolina, Mr. Swerling became interested in the law at a young age. His father, Jack Swerling, is considered to be one of the top trial lawyers in the world and is a member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers—an organization limited to only 500 lawyers worldwide. Spending many summers working in his father’s firm, Mr. Swerling found his father to be his greatest mentor and eventually discovered that he shared his father’s enthusiasm and passion for the law.

While at Syracuse University, Mr. Swerling began to lay the foundation for going to law school by majoring in Political Science and History. However, when he took a writing course and achieved the highest class honor, he was persuaded to move to Los Angeles for a summer to study screenwriting at UCLA’s prestigious film school with the “guru” of screenwriting, Richard Walter.
