About:
Izaak Schwaiger is an advocate and champion for the rights of regular people. A decorated veteran of the United States Marine Corps, a former Sonoma County prosecutor, and a respected presence in the courtroom, Mr. Schwaiger has devoted his practice to defending the criminally accused and upholding the civil rights of those who have been wronged by the police. Following ten years of service to his country in the Marine Corps, Izaak enrolled in law school at the University of Wyoming, where he did not graduate with honors, but was named "most likely to become a rockstar." Called the "go-to lawyer on police brutality cases" by the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, Izaak's successes in cases others have called "hopeless" are as numerous as they are unequalled. Izaak has successfully defended hundreds of clients in cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to felony clients facing life in prison, and his accomplishments in police brutality cases have made headlines in The Detroit Free Press, The San Jose Mercury News, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Guardian, Fox News, and CBS. Izaak is admitted to practice in all California State and Federal courts.

"I met Izaak back in 2019 after being arrested and facing numerous felony firearm related charges. He came highly recommended to me by several friends from the Marines as well as other attorneys. I have to say that I don’t think I could have picked a better attorney. Through his professionalism, dedication and hard work as a man, attorney and fellow US Marine I believe I received the best possible outcome. I was not an easy client to represent due to do moments of anxiety and a lot of stubbornness. But because of his dedication and compassion for his job and clients I was able to continue my life and prosper without any felony convictions. For what he did I owe this man more than what I am able to give. I am truly thankful for knowing him and would recommend him to anyone. Cpl. S.M. Meza"

"He wasn't the proper attorney for my claim but his staff was outstanding and I checked him out before I made the call. If he says yes, don't hesitate victory is always his goal. I was informed he is a warrior in the court room. Mayne"
