About James A.
James A. Swartz is an attorney based in Massachusetts whose career traces back to a Georgetown Law degree earned in 1990 and an undergraduate diploma from Tufts University in 1987. He brings a steady, courtroom-centered trajectory to his practice. The academic record is concise. The path from liberal arts at Tufts to law at Georgetown set the stage for work in both state and federal courts.
After law school, Swartz established himself in the Massachusetts legal community. He is admitted to the Massachusetts bar and holds admission in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that move beyond the state level. His professional listing identifies him as a lawyer at Swartz & Swartz, P.C., where he is involved in case work and litigation practice.
Colleagues and peers see him through the associations he keeps. He maintains memberships in the Boston Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He is also connected to several trial and public-interest organizations, including the American Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, the Public Justice Foundation and the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers. Those affiliations reflect a practice environment that engages both trial advocacy and wider professional networks.
Swartz’s courtroom activity is supported by those memberships and by his federal admissions. He handles matters that require appearances in state and federal venues. He prepares cases for hearing and appeal and works within the procedural frameworks of district and appellate courts. His work involves the routine tasks of litigation—motions, discovery, pretrial preparation and trial presentation—handled within the firm setting and in collaboration with co-counsel when matters demand it.
Outside of court filings and hearings, Swartz participates in the professional life of his bar associations. He keeps current on developments through those groups and uses those channels to stay connected to changes in practice and procedure. His practice remains rooted in Massachusetts, supported by the ability to bring cases before the federal courts that serve the state.
He represents clients in both Massachusetts state courts and in the federal courts that cover the region, and his current practice concentrates on litigated matters handled through Swartz & Swartz, P.C.
