Lukins and Annis' Sweney recognized by state bar

Lukins and Annis announced this week that Wayne Sweney has been selected to be one of the Idaho State Bar's distinguished lawyers for 2011.

The board of commissioners of the bar noted in their letter to Sweney, "It is our belief that you well-exemplify the qualities and attributes that denote those distinguished practitioners who have received this recognition."

The bar will present this award to Sweney at the distinguished lawyer dinner during the bar meeting, at a special dinner which will be hosted July 13 at the Sun Valley Resort.

Sweney received his undergraduate degree from Drexel University, and his juris doctorate from the University of Maryland in 1974.

After establishing a successful practice on his own, Sweney merged with Lukins and Annis in 1987.

He has published a number of articles on bankruptcy and commercial law.

Sweney has been the recipient of other awards and honors and continues to serve his community by being a member of the board of trustees for the Museum of North Idaho.

His advice is highly sought after by financial institutions and he also is the branch manager of our Coeur d'Alene office.
