Hear from our members

  • Renee Franchi, Zinda Law Group

    “Thank you to Nancy and everyone in the SWTL family!  If it wasn’t for all the amazing support that I received at the SWTL conference in April, I don’t know if I would have ever made this leap.  Everyone I spoke with was so incredibly helpful, wise, and supportive when I needed it the most.  After I returned from the conference in Scottsdale, I was determined to forge a new path and find a way out to Colorado where I’ve always wanted to end up.  A few months later, I’ve found a wonderful new firm, made the trek from the east coast across the country, and I couldn’t be happier."

     

  • Christine Murphy, The Jaklitsch Law Group

    “I’ve spent many years attending (and trying to get out of attending) conferences. This is the ONLY conference that I want to attend each and every session. When I leave the Society of Women Trial Lawyers conference, I feel like I’m a better lawyer, but also a better person.”

  • Somer Brown, Cox Cox Filo

    “The seminars put on by the Society bring top-notch and relevant education, but also allow me to see, hear from, and network with an amazing group of women who ‘get it’ and support me and others in achieving their personal profession goals - whatever those may be!”

  • Amanda K. Klevorn, Burns Charest

    “Thank you so much for organizing this event—it was one of the best conferences I’ve attended in a very long time. Inspiring, empowering, and full of useful/substantive advice.”

  • Alexandra Rizzo Arnold, Dever Law Group

    “As someone who was sworn into practice during the height of Covid, it felt hard to network and meaningfully connect with others while behind a screen. This organization provides a true sense of community. I was personally greeted by other members during the first meeting I attended and have felt at home since.”

  • Cara L. O'Brien, O'Brien Law

    “Many heartfelt thanks to everyone that put so much effort and thought into the annual conference in Nashville. I’ve been to a lot of conferences and this one was so wonderfully different. The substance and energy were amazing. Everyone from Maryland loved everything about it. “

  • Kathryn L. Avila, Levin Papantonio Rafferty

    “Thank you so much for putting such a powerful group of women together and facilitating the energy we need to build each other up and empower each other. ”
