I received my Law Degree (JD) and a Masters of Business Administration Degree (MBA) from Memphis State University (now University of Memphis), my BA in Human Resource Management from Pepperdine University, and am a graduate of Renaissance Inc.’s Charitable Planning School. I am licensed to practice law in Georgia and Tennessee. I have a unique background with extensive knowledge and experience in Wealth Transfer and Estate Planning, Business Planning, Charitable Giving Planning, Executive Compensation Plans, and developing and administrating Qualified and Nonqualified Benefit Plans.

I conduct seminars for charitable institutions, individuals, attorneys, CPAs, investment advisors, insurance agents, and trust officers on estate planning, wealth preservation, business succession, charitable gifting, wealth transfer and Military Veterans benefits. I am a co-developer and co-presenter for the ElderCounsel VA Pension Course.

I am the founder and principal of Swain Law Firm with offices in Roswell and Cartersville, Georgia. I am the founder and President/CEO of the Academy of VA Pension Planners (AVAPP). AVAPP provides training and certification for Attorneys and Financial Planners that want to work with veterans and their families to help them qualify for these important benefits. I am also a member of ElderCounsel and NAELA.

I am also a member of the Roswell Rotary Club, the Tennessee, and Georgia Bar Associations, American Legion Post 201 (Alpharetta, GA) and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 120001 (Alpharetta, GA).

I am a Vietnam Veteran. I have 10 years active duty in the US Navy and 10 years in the Naval Reserve.
