Richard V. Swanson, a Criminal Defense Attorney

My job as Richard V. Swanson Criminal Defense Lawyer is to help you find your way through your criminal case. Through my ability to relate well to judges, other attorneys, and district attorneys, I can translate the outcome of your case into better overall results, whether it is trial or a plea.

The United States Constitution was created to give rights to the people to protect them from the government. I am here to protect the rights of all my clients to the fullest extent of the constitution. If I do not defend my clients from the government, then those same rights given to everyone will have little or no meaning.

Educational Background

I graduated from the California Southern Law School in 1996, where I received an BS, JD and the Scholastic Achievement Award in Criminal Law.

Law Practice

For six months, I worked for the San Bernardino District Attorney’s office. After that, I opened my own private law practice office. For the last 20 years I have chosen to devote my entire practice to criminal law defense. I work hard representing my clients so that they achieve the best results in eliminating or minimizing the consequences of their cases.

I have conducted more than 75 criminal felony trials, including 9 death penalty matters and 20 cases involving murder or attempted murder. Most of these criminal cases I handled were gang-related.

Testimonials

1/2/2014

Richard was an attorney that I felt comfortable talking openly to. He explained things clearly. It was very reassuring & comforting. He spent lots of time explaining everything. He and his staff are amazing & showed a real personal concern and a genuine desire to want to help. He showed a real concerns that extend to my overall personal situation, rather than just what I had hired him for. & most important, I NEVER felt taken advantage of financially. He's extremely intelligent, articulate, & he's well respected(btw that's good if he needs to deal with the district attorney's office or court/judges).

I can't stress enough how helpful & kind his staff is.San Francisco, Chloe N.
