High Swartz

High Swartz LLP is a general practice law firm whose history dates to 1914, when it opened its first office in Norristown, Pennsylvania. It now practises from Norristown and Doylestown, with a third office listed at Feasterville.

The real estate group covers commercial properties, whether leased or owned, along with zoning and land development, condominium complexes, affordable housing finance, real estate litigation, and construction litigation. The firm points out that Pennsylvania has strict laws governing commercial property and frames the practice around avoiding those pitfalls. Business services include starting a small business, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, employment contracts and restrictive covenants, and municipal and government law, and the firm also handles family law, estates, workers' compensation, personal injury, and immigration.

Alternative dispute resolution is a distinct offering: the firm includes three certified mediators and arbitrators covering business, family, and estate administration disputes, with separate programmes described for business, employment, and estate matters.

Its roots are in Bucks and Montgomery counties, and it supports clients in Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Philadelphia counties, with some attorneys handling common legal concerns elsewhere in the United States. U.S. News has recognised High Swartz as a Best Law Firm nationally and locally, with mentions including real estate law, litigation, family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury, and The Best Lawyers in America cited 16 of the firm's attorneys. The site does not publish rates, and its office list is not consistent across pages, so confirm location and fees at intake.
