Deborah Claire Swenson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Can a lawyer manage a national bankruptcy practice from Minnesota and be regarded as one of the best in the nation? I did not think so until Deb joined our firm. Deb is a fantastic lawyer with a sharp legal mind."
"I have worked with Deb for years in numerous bankruptcy cases. Deb is the most astute lawyer in the defense of preference actions I have ever run across."
"I cannot overstate my respect and admiration for Deb, not only as a practitioner, but as a person. Deb is an outstanding bankruptcy attorney with whom I've had the distinct pleasure of working on several large chapter 11 matters over the last five years. She has always impressed me with her strong analytical skills, her deft handling of hostile parties, her ability to simplify complex legal issues, and her impeccable attention to detail. More importantly, Deb is a simply delightful person; she cares deeply about her clients and colleagues, and conducts herself with the utmost professionalism and candor. I endorse Deb without hesitation."
