Attorney Chip Schwartz is a co-founder of Zarzaur and Schwartz, a well-known and highly regarded law firm based in Birmingham, Alabama. The primary focus for Chip and his law firm is debt collection in several states to include Alabama, and he has been doing this work for almost fifty years. Obviously, my work is on the other side of debt collection, but I always tell my clients that this law firm does its work in a professional and respectful manner and is widely respected by both debtor and collection attorneys in the South. I enjoyed getting to know Chip’s story on this episode of the podcast and to learn how he made his way down to Alabama from Cincinnati, Ohio to create this esteemed law firm.
