A Letter From Our Founder

Prospective Client,

note

Tot Law, APC is a law office focused exclusively on that which is truly important – Our children. We believe that the legal system should ensure justice and fairness, that the role of an attorney is to serve as the voice for those seeking justice, and that there is no one more deserving of such justice as a child. As a result, Tot Law, APC was formed to represent parents and individuals serving in the capacity of parents in legal matters affecting children, and we specialize in helping families to overcome any legal obstacles standing in the way of a child reaching his or her fullest potential.

If we might be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Most initial consultations are free , and my pledge to you as a prospective (and hopefully future) client is to always be honest and upfront regarding your case, make every effort to accomplish your goals, and, should we be unable to assist, to provide you with other avenues upon which to continue advocating for your child.

We know how frustrating it can feel when your child’s best interests are being ignored, and we want you to know that we understand what you are going through, we care about you and your child, we want to help, and we usually can help.

Your child’s best interest is our business, and we fight every day to secure for our clients’ children the brightest of futures.

Sincerely,

Paul A. Swiller, Esq.
Child Welfare Law Specialist
Owner, Tot Law, APC

P.S. One of the most common complaints we hear about our clients’ previous experiences with other attorneys is a difficulty in communication – Once the attorney was paid, the client would never get the attorney to return a call, send an email or set an appointment. At Tot Law, APC, you won’t have this problem. To this end, I want to give you this phone number – 619.356.0848 – and this email address – owner@totlaw.com. This is my personal cell phone number and my email address, and I give them to you and all of our clients so that the communication problems which have plagued them with other attorneys don’t exist here at Tot Law, APC. Unless I’m in court or with my family, you’ll be in contact with a Tot Law, APC attorney immediately. If you don’t believe me, call me or send me an email – I’d be happy to speak to you right now.

Trustworthy, Responsive, Customer-Oriented, and Good Written Work! Paul was very attentive, understanding and sympathetic. Unlike other lawyers, he was not aggressive, not pushing me to hire him. Instead he provided me an honest overview. With his help, I was able to fully accomplish my goals.

Susan B.

You were OUTSTANDING in all respects in representing me. You were stellar. Thanks so much for all you did for me. I hope you have a great holiday season with your little ones - I know I certainly will - and will remember that YOU helped make it possible.

Great Lawyer! Paul didn't nickel and dime me like the disaster of my previous lawyer did. Paul was very pleasant and remained very professional unlike my previous lawyer. I will use Paul in the future if needed and would recommend Paul.
