Kevin Schwartz

Prior to joining forces with his father in 2003 to form Schwartz & Schwartz, Kevin was a litigation associate at the Los Angeles office of Reed Smith, one of the 15 largest law firms in the world with more than 1,500 lawyers throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East. While there, Kevin focused his practice on complex pharmaceutical, medical device and commercial litigation, including business disputes related to trade secrets and unfair competition.

Kevin earned his law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, where he served as Production Editor of the Entertainment Law Review. Kevin also received the American Jurisprudence Award, achieving first-in-class honors (Legal Writing).

Before law school, Kevin completed his undergraduate work at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and – of course – continues to be a ‘die-hard’ Bruin fan.

When he’s not working, Kevin enjoys spending time doing just about anything with his wife and children. He also continues trying (in vain?) to improve his remarkably average golf game, hoping one day to beat his law partner in an honest round of eighteen holes.

Kevin now limits his law practice to elder abuse litigation, fiduciary litigation, probate, trust and conservatorship litigation, nursing home litigation, residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) litigation, consumer protection litigation, NASD arbitrations and related complex probate and civil litigation matters.

In addition to his private practice, Kevin currently serves as Special Deputy Trial Counsel for the State Bar of California (by appointment of the Chief Trial Counsel), and is responsible for investigating and prosecuting claims filed against California attorneys who are affiliated with the State Bar or its Board of Governors (or with any other State Bar entity), or who otherwise present a potential conflict of interest in any action by the Chief Trial Counsel.

Kevin also is a current member of the Los Angeles County Probate Volunteer Panel (PVP), available for court appointment to represent proposed conservatees or others in trust, probate and conservatorship proceedings.

Kevin is a member of the California bar and the Los Angeles County Bar Association, and has published articles on a variety of legal topics. He practices throughout California.
