Announcing the Launch of My Blog

Welcome to the blog of Jack B. Swerling, Attorney at Law. From my office in Columbia, South Carolina, I handle complex criminal defense cases. Since 1973, I have provided vigorous and dedicated representation to a wide range of clients, including public officials, doctors, business owners and athletes.

Through this blog, my goal is to educate, inform and share important news and insights about criminal law. I’ll offer practical advice about all of my areas of practice, which include white collar crimes, drug crimes and violent crimes. The more you know about the law, the better prepared you can be to deal with the specifics of your case.

Along the way, I’ll also share more about myself and my practice. And I hope to hear from you through your comments on my blog posts. I believe in the power of communication and invite you to share your views.

Be sure to check back on this blog for updates. And if you need legal assistance in South Carolina, please contact me to schedule an initial consultation.
