The certification is one of the clearer markers in California that an attorney has concentrated professional work in family law and has completed the additional requirements to qualify as a specialist.
Edwards-Swift’s work has involved the sorts of disputes that commonly arise when families separate. She has handled dissolution of marriage matters, custody and visitation issues, support questions and property division concerns.
