About

Schweikert Law is an innovative modern law firm in an old-school profession.  Our mission is to right unjust wrongs for our clients by holding wrongdoers legally accountable under the law.  To that end, we have spent the past two decades winning countless judgments and favorable settlements for our clients in federal and state courts and arbitrations nationwide.

 

Whether your case involves a catastrophic injury, a wrongful death, sexual abuse and exploitation, an unfair consumer transaction, a denied or underpaid insurance claim, or a complex business dispute, our firm should be your first call.

 

Our initial consultations are always free.  We will evaluate your case, provide our initial assessment, and make appropriate recommendations.  We only take on cases that we believe we can win; and we only represent clients that we believe should win.  We are not afraid to risk it all in the pursuit of justice for you, your family, or your business.

 

If your case is a good fit for our firm, our services may be retained on a contingency, hourly, hybrid, or alternative fee basis.  If not, we would be happy to refer you to our curated network of legal professionals who may be a better fit for your case.
