Swartz & Swartz

What Swartz & Swartz does

Swartz & Swartz, P.C. is a Boston-based plaintiff-side personal injury law firm organized as a Massachusetts Professional Corporation, founded in 1972 by Edward M. Swartz (1934-2010), a nationally recognized pioneer of products liability law. The firm is currently led by Managing and Principal Attorney James A. Swartz, who joined in 1993 and maintains a nationwide trial practice in negligence, products liability, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury matters. The firm operates from a single headquarters at 53 State Street, Suite 500 in the historic John and Ebenezer Hancock House on Boston's Freedom Trail, with reported capacity to represent clients across Massachusetts, New England, and throughout the United States.

The practice spans 13 documented service lines including personal injury, automotive defects, car accidents, catastrophic injuries, construction accidents, fire and burn injuries, medical malpractice, product liability, wrongful death, traumatic brain injury, recreational vehicle accidents, inadequate security litigation, and daycare abuse and neglect. The firm publicly highlights multi-million to multi-tens-of-millions outcomes, including an $18 million TBI settlement, a $24.8 million explosion injury settlement, a $17.5 million automotive defect settlement, and a 2003 Volkswagen judgment exceeding $17 million. Underlying technology is minimal: a WordPress website, live chat, toll-free and local phone intake, and active social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube), with multilingual Spanish and Portuguese access points.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services on a contingency fee basis ('no fee unless we win'), supplemented by free initial consultations. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees. The firm carries no external capital, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public financials. Competitive positioning rests on five decades of brand equity, the personal reputations of the Swartz attorneys, and a credential stack including James A. Swartz's Martindale-Hubbell AV rating, continuous Super Lawyer recognition since 2004, and ATLA Top 100 Trial Lawyers standing.
