Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I sit on the Board of a condominium association, but I don't practice in that area. I suggested Bryony to the other Board members after attending one of her presentations on the subject. We couldn't be more pleased with her competence, thoroughness, work ethics, reliability and effectiveness. Her responses have always been not only timely (even despite hurricane Irma), but "right on" without the need for superfluous information or for reminders of relevant details. In that capacity (board member who suggested her to represent our Association), she makes me look real good!!! As an attorney who has practiced for over 20 years, I understand the constraints and/or pressure of clients' needs and I couldn't be more impressed with how she handles these matters."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Attorney Swift was the paralegal at a firm I used to work with and I was very impressed with her organization, intelligence, work ethic and thoroughness while maintaining a sense of humanity and empathy that is too often absent in the law firm environment. At the time I urged her to go to law school as it was obvious that she would be a better attorney than some of attorneys she'd worked for and that I encountered on a regular basis. Although attorney Swift may be a new lawyer, she has many years of experience in the law having worked with attorneys in diverse fields and has the passion, dedication, focus and basic human understanding that is sadly missing in many who have many more years of experience as licensed attorneys. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Swift."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
