The History of Our Firm

Read the Story Behind Schweitzer Law Partners

For eight years, Attorney Don Schweitzer wasn’t just known as a family attorney – he was known as one of the most effective deputy district attorneys in Orange County. He has a proven track record of results with a 95% conviction rate in over 70 trials. During his time as a deputy district attorney, he was also a part of the Family Support unit, as well as numerous criminal prosecution units involving complex, difficult issues. Prior to becoming an attorney, his knowledge of criminal law was founded during a 10-year career as a police officer, serving as a member of S.W.A.T. and as a homicide detective.

In the early 2000s, Don decided that he wanted to serve the people of Southern California in a different way. He left behind his success as a prosecutor and opened a private practice. Together with his wife, Maria Schweitzer, he started a family law practice in the heart of historic Pasadena. In 2003, Schweitzer Law Partners was founded on the same principles that led to Don’s success as a prosecutor – exceptional trial skills, vast knowledge of case law and legal code outcomes.

Applying the Lessons Learned in Criminal Court

What made Don an exceptional lawyer made Schweitzer Law Partners an exceptional law firm.
