Her principal areas of practice currently are foreclosure and bankruptcy, but she also covered areas such as personal injury, commercial real estate, shareholder litigation and general contract disputes. In response to the foreclosure crisis, Ms. Sword volunteered at weekly foreclosure and bankruptcy legal advice clinics for the last year and a half. In 2009 alone, Ms. Sword gave more than 150 hours of pro bono legal services to the Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida’s Volunteer Lawyers Project. She was selected as “Pro Bono Guardian of the Year” at a recent event in her area.
