Dear clients, business partners and friends,
On Thursday, March 19, Governor Wolf ceased operations of all non life-sustaining businesses in the Commonwealth.
Although High Swartz physical offices are temporarily closed, our attorneys and staff are working remotely and available to assist you.
Attorneys are also able to receive any deliveries from you. Because of physical office closures, FedEx and UPS shipments need to be delivered to a temporary address specific to your attorney.
If you have a delivery already in transit, please forward your tracking number to your attorney, and we can then reroute it.
Your delivery is important to us, and we ask that you please contact your attorney directly for their temporary address.
