Consumer protection
In May 2013, former Utah State Consumer protection director Traci Gunderson filed a complaint with the Utah State Bar, alleging improperly discussed settlement negotiations with a company under investigation by the Utah State Division of Consumer Protection. Swallow's office stated: "John Swallow did not violate any bar rules, and the complaint confuses the rules between a private law firm and a public law firm. The attorney general can and should hear complaints from the public. However, no meeting actually took place and no settlement offers were made or accepted"
