Why Hire Tony?
  • Experience on all sides of the courtroom in over 10,000+ cases, including DUIs / traffic tickets / various misdemeanors
  • Extensive jury trial skills and certified by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy
  • Standardized Field Sobriety Test certified (just like cops so he knows when they make errors)
  • Around the clock availability and constant direct communication with clients (so you're not always talking to a secretary or staff)
  • Proven 5 star reviews that display his honesty, affordable flat fees, great client communication, and effective results
Ellensburg, Cle Elum, Yakima Courts (Kittitas County and Yakima County)
​Tony fights hard to obtain the best result possible. You need an attorney willing to show the prosecutor who you are - and not just what the cop wrote in his/her report. Tony intentionally keeps a small case load so he always has time for your case and focuses his work on:
  • Driving Under the Influence cases (alcohol, marijuana, drugs)
  • Traffic tickets (speeding, accidents, etc.)
  • Misdemeanor charges such as assault, theft, trespass, minor in possession of alcohol / drugs, and others
Personal Attention
Unfortunately, it is all too common for attorneys to fill their office with a bunch of staff to do their work. Tony does not believe in this approach and intentionally keeps his case load LOW so he can focus adequate time on YOUR case. You are paying for your attorney to work your case - not staff. It is only fair that you have around the clock availability with your attorney. Tony's offers clients text message contact whenever he can respond, in addition to in-depth meetings and phone consultations when necessary. You will always feel like the person you paid to work for you is actually doing so.
Tony Swartz is a lawyer in Ellensburg, Washington. He is a criminal misdemeanor defense attorney with experience working on over 1,000 driving under the influence cases from beginning through jury trial and he has worked on an estimated 10,000 criminal cases overall. He is ready to begin working on your case. He will focus his efforts on obtaining a good result (whether your goal is a dismissal, a reduction, or some other arrangement). His aim is to make sure you minimize punishment while also making sure the State and the Court realizes you are a fellow community member/neighbor/human rather than just a case number within their computer system. While he cannot promise any particular result, he can promise that he will remain on your side the entire time. He aims to always be available for questions, being a good resource to assist you in navigating the court system, and will never give up to get you the best possible result.

Tony was nothing but excellent for me. He was always available when needed and helped me calm down in stressful situations. He is a very nice guy who knows the law well and he is able definitely the right to choose if you are having legal problems.
Tony Swartz was my second attorney, and I was referred to him after 1.5 months of my terrible experiences with my first attorney. Tony mostly responds in 24 business hours, even on weekends! All in all, Tony is an awesome attorney to work with. Some lawyers take too many cases, and they don’t care about your case after you sign a contract. Tony doesn’t do that. Tony wants to focus on his clients' cases and works hard for them. You need that kind of lawyer.
​If you want someone on your side then you should definitely call Tony Swartz. He helped dismiss a case when I thought there was definitely no way it could be. His price is also a good deal compared to other criminal lawyers. Tony provided the judge with a strong argument against the prosecutor. If you want a strong supporter for your case, call him.
Tony was fantastic to work with. He was very responsive and very effective. I would absolutely recommend him as a great traffic lawyer.
Tony is an awesome attorney. The client portal he uses makes communication, document uploading and progress tracking simple and easy. He doesn’t hesitate to take the time to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand, and he doesn’t rush you through questions. He made a rough and scary situation for my family, much easier to deal with, we can’t recommend him enough. He’s thorough and precise and he goes the extra mile to help and seems to truly care. He’s very responsive, which is a rarity from my understanding. He did what he said he was going to do when he said he would do it, helping get a scary misunderstanding taking care of before it had an even greater impact on our family. My family is extremely grateful for his services.
We hired Tony to help our son and he was extremely professional and always very responsive and respectful. He was able to get the case dismissed and this is HUGE as it would have had serious impact on my sons life, and now my sons mistake will not have a negative impact on his future. I highly recommend Tony. You won’t be sorry!
