Everything Went Smoothly Apr 5, 2025

I was referred to Ryan Ficklin by a couple of friends. He worked on my custody case and everything went smoothly. Communication was great.

Mark Hales and Team Were Amazing Mar 31, 2025

Mark Hales and the team at Eric M. Swinyard were absolutely amazing. Mark is very knowledgeable and professional, helping me through the entire process. With his help, I was able to get shared custody of my son which has made all the difference in the world for both my son and my family getting to spend more time with him. We are all truly grateful for everything they did for us and the difference it has made in our lives. I felt that they genuinely cared about my case and what was fair and in the best interest of my son. If you're looking for the best team of attorneys, you'll want these guys in your corner. Thanks again, guys!

The Best Decision I Made Nov 1, 2023

My name is Parbati Adhikari. Originally I am from Nepal. Today is November 1st, 2023. I want to say something about this office member. First of all, I want to thank whoever left their comments on the website they have. I am thanking them for two reasons. 1. Because it's given me positive energy and motivation. 2. It's given lawyers power over their hard work, motivating them to work better. Three years ago, I got separated from my ex, and we had a child together. I went to many places and met different lawyers before I met this amazing lady Ally Paschal. I had two different lawyers before Ally. One cared too much about money. The other did whatever she could but I was not happy and she withdrew my case. I started searching online and googled the best attorney in Utah. There were many results. I saw this place where everyone said Eric is awesome and I decided to go with this place. I called to make an appointment with them. I met Ally Paschal and Eric Swinyard. That day was the best decision I made. The way Eric was talking and Ally was making notes about whatever I was expressing was beautiful. They handled my case beautifully. Yesterday (10-30-2023) was my final trial, and we got whatever we were requesting in court. I'm very thankful to Ally and all the people who give reviews. Thank you all, team Ally and Eric. I love you guys. My whole family is grateful. May God bless you all. I will come meet all of you with candy.

I'd recommend him to friends and family. Oct 13, 2023

Eric has been my attorney for two different child custody cases for quite some time now! Our very first phone call involved a lot of tears on my end, and before he even knew if he’d be able to help me, his empathy made a huge impact on my confidence. I knew my children and I would be in good hands. He has spent many hours offering comfort and has never been impatient with my endless questioning (and it is endless lol). Eric and his team have been nothing but helpful, prompt, and responsive in my cases, and I’d recommend him or anyone from his firm to my family or friends over and over again. If I could give ten stars, I would.

Mark Hales is your guy! Sep 1, 2023

Mark Hales is a stellar attorney. I came to him with a complex situation in my divorce involving step-parent rights. He was direct and honest about my situation from day 1. He explained everything I asked thoroughly and gave advice that directly benefited my case. He was very responsive and fought for me when the other side did everything they could to delay proceedings. Through hard work and expert knowledge of the law, he was able to find two rarely used statutes to help me get equal rights of my children. I couldn't be more grateful. If you are a father in Utah who thinks your situation is hopeless, it's not! Mark Hales is your guy! Francesca is also a fantastic paralegal. Thank you all!

Eric Won the Case with Flying Colors Jul 18, 2023

Eric came in clutch when I came to him in desperate need. He was completely professional and helped me get my rights that were due to me. He won the case with flying colors and I was given equal rights to my daughter and could breathe again. Any time I have questions or need help, he is there to give me guidance and has been absolutely exceptional. Time and time again I would recommend Eric. He will do what is needed and will absolutely help you get what you deserve fairly and justly.
