Mr. Edward W. Swanson has a sweet face. Nevertheless, he is an AV-rated trial and appellate lawyer, practicing in white collar and general criminal defense. Apparently he also works on DUI cases. Serving as a special master for the United States District Court, in the Northern District of California, he is also a discovery referee for the California Superior Court. Anyone else totally clue-less as to what any of that means? It sounds impressive though. I wish I could say I was a Special Master or a Discovery Referee. While it's very vague what any of that means, it is related to assisting the courts with discovery matters, fee disputes, and mediation. Mr. Swanson's handsome face is listed in the Best Lawyers in America and the Northern California Super Lawyers. A founder of Swanson, McNamara, & Haller LLP, he has also worked in South Africa in assisting the African National Congress to design a land claims court. Wow! The Stanford Law grad is a member of the Order of the Coif and has worked on the committee staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Hunger. And, if nothing else, he takes a pretty good picture.
