“Susan [Boswell]’s partners uniformly agree—she has been a leader in the legal profession throughout her long and successful career. Through years of sustained hard work, Susan has established a well-deserved national reputation as a preeminent bankruptcy practitioner and one who has worked on the cutting edge of bankruptcy law at all levels. Just as important, Susan has been a pioneer among women attorneys throughout Arizona and an example to and mentor of generations of younger attorneys throughout the U.S.” • John A. Harris, partner in Quarles & Brady’s restructuring, bankruptcy, and creditors’ rights group.
