We understand that time is of the essence when you have been charged with a criminal offense. I graduated from Winthrop University where I was a starting pitcher for the top 25 ranked Eagles. After graduation, I worked in the Netherlands and Germany for a plastics manufacturing company, where my focus was on lean manufacturing processes. After leaving the Netherlands I attended Charleston School of Law.
While in school I served as President of the Federalist Society and was active with the Trial Advocacy Team. I also completed over one thousand hours of pro bono legal work at the Charleston County Public Defender's office. Immediately after I graduated and passed the South Carolina Bar I Joined my good friend and colleague Bill Thrower, Esq., to form the law firm Thrower & Schwartz Law Firm.
After Bill's untimely passing, I started Schwartz Law Firm, LLC. I have extensive experience as a trial attorney and have tried over two dozen jury trials, including murders, rapes, robberies and drug trafficking as well as numerous family law and civil trials.
