We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague, Mary Swayze, Of Counsel in our Miami office. A kind and thoughtful friend and an ardent advocate for justice and equality, Mary was a talented lawyer who utilized her skills to help families navigate contentious disputes, fight discrimination in our society, and help the vulnerable, especially children and the mentally ill, find safety and security.

Mary devoted her practice to family law, with a focus on dissolution and post dissolution of marriage issues. A testament to her commitment to finding solutions and bridging divides, Mary was a Certified Family Mediator, Florida Supreme Court Qualified Arbitrator and Parenting Coordinator, and served as Guardian Ad Litem and attorney ad litem. 

Mary's colleagues, and the many families and individuals she helped throughout her career, will remember her professionalism, compassion, and commitment.
