Leading Resources Recognize Our Law Firm

U.S. News recognized High Swartz as a Best Law Firm. Twelve of our attorneys were cited as Best Lawyers by the same publication. Martindale-Hubbell is a leading international resource for evaluating attorneys. Its evaluations are from other lawyers. Legal knowledge, analytical capability, judgment, communication, and legal expertise form the basis for reviews. Our peer reviews rate 4.8/5.0. More important, that rating comprises a substantial number of reviews. Clients recommend us 100% of the time. Many of our attorneys receive an AV rating, the highest rating possible. The rating is indicative of a lawyer with the highest levels of professional and ethical standards. Again, those are peer reviews. Our Law Offices Serve Greater Philadelphia
Our Norristown law office is near the county seat and heart of Montgomery County. It offers convenient access to the greater Philadelphia area, as well as Eastern and Central Pennsylvania. In 2016, we merged with McNamara, Bolla & Panzer of Doylestown, a well-respected legal practice in Bucks County, PA. That merger expanded our reach even farther into suburban Philadelphia counties. It also allowed us to extend our services into New Jersey and the mid-Atlantic region as a whole. Core Practices at Our Law Firm
Unlike many law firms in the area, we offer an array of legal services. We know that legal concerns can hit you from multiple directions. So, we staffed our law offices to support you regardless of your case profile. Our core practice areas include:

They deliver legal advice concerning mergers and acquisitions, commercial agreements, technology, taxation, and government regulation.

Last night our Doylestown and Norristown offices came together for our annual tree trimming tradition.

It's a good way to mark the season, and a reminder of how important it is to decompress with each other.

Wishing everyone a calm and steady start to the holidays!

We gathered today at the Metropolitan Bar and Grill in North Wales, PA for a Pollyanna lunch in support of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

We drew names and picked gifts that we felt that person would've loved at that age. The result was a mix of nostalgia, laughter, and a fun way to support kids in need.

It also gave the team a chance to slow down and connect before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Thanks to everyone that participated!
