Nicolas D. Swanger is an Associate Attorney at PARRIS Law Firm, where he represents individuals and families in personal injury and wrongful death cases, including matters involving medical malpractice, premises liability, negligence, and motor vehicle collisions. Nic started at PARRIS as a Certified Law Student Clerk, which allowed him to litigate cases along the firm’s experienced litigation and trial lawyers. That early substantive experience allowed Nic to gain considerable real-world litigation experience before he had even passed the Bar Examination.
Nic brings a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to thorough preparation to his work. Nic’s advocacy begins with mastering the facts, understanding each client's unique circumstances, and approaching every case with diligence and determination. Working alongside PARRIS's experienced trial attorneys, Nic is developing his litigation and trial skills while helping clients navigate some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives.
Since joining PARRIS, Nic has litigated cases resulting in million-dollar settlements and multimillion-dollar jury verdicts. During his first year of practice, he also successfully obtained more than $17,000 in court-ordered sanctions against opposing counsel. These early accomplishments reflect his dedication to his clients and his determination to become an effective trial lawyer.
Nic earned his Juris Doctor from Southwestern Law School in 2025, graduating magna cum laude in the top 5% of his class. During law school, he served as a Staff Editor of the Southwestern Law Review, received multiple CALI Awards for earning the highest grades in his courses, and was a three-time recipient of the Dean's Merit Award. He also placed second in Southwestern's Honors Negotiation Competition.
Before attending law school, Nic graduated cum laude from California Baptist University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Political Science. He also participated in Semester at Sea, studying political science while traveling internationally.
Outside of his legal practice, Nic enjoys surfing, running, strength training, reading, and spending time outdoors.
