Atty. Julia Chidley
I worked with Attorney Swift on a multi-jurisdictional case. It took Attorney Swift only about a week and a half to resolve a complicated legal situation. To compare, another Florida attorney and at least two governmental entities attempted to do so for close to two months, unsuccessfully. It took a ...

Bryony G Swift's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
"Bryony is meticulous and very thorough. She goes above and beyond for her client's. If you are looking for an attorney, she's an excellent choice. I endorse this lawyer."
