About Erik Swen
Erik Swen Syverson took a conventional route through higher education before turning to the law. He earned a B.A. in History from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1994. He later attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and received his J.D. in 2002. Those years built a foundation in research, writing and argumentation that shaped his approach to legal work.
After law school, Syverson gained admission to practice in California and secured credentials to appear in several federal courts. His federal admissions include the U.S. District Court for the Central, Eastern and Northern Districts of California, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He handles matters that require state-court filings as well as appearances in trial and appellate federal venues.
Syverson practices at The Syverson Law Office. The firm name appears on his professional listings and is the platform from which he files cases and advises clients. He manages litigation and filings in both state and federal courts and navigates procedural and substantive issues that arise in those settings. He takes cases from pleading through briefs and hearings when the matter proceeds in the federal appellate system.
He is a member of several professional organizations. Those include the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He also holds membership on the California State Bar Cyberlaw Committee, a group that addresses legal issues tied to technology, internet law and related regulatory questions. Membership in that committee signals an engagement with evolving legal questions around digital platforms and electronic information.
Colleagues and clients who work with Syverson encounter a practitioner who concentrates on litigation practice across multiple forums. He appears in trial courts across California and in federal district courts, and he has taken steps to preserve appellate options in the Ninth Circuit. He maintains active participation in bar activities and committee work while managing case responsibilities at The Syverson Law Office. His current practice focuses on litigation in California and in federal courts, including appellate matters in the Ninth Circuit.
