New York State Bar Association President Named Lawyer of the Year
9.4.2025
New York State Bar Association President Kathleen Sweet has been named Best Lawyers’ Lawyer of the Year in professional and medical malpractice defense law for the Buffalo region.
The Best Lawyers award is highly selective, with only 5% of U.S. lawyers and 3% globally receiving the honor. The designation is the result of thousands of confidential peer evaluations and a rigorous vetting process.
At Gibson McAskill & Crosby, Sweet defends medical and legal malpractice actions and represents health care professionals who face disciplinary hearings. She also represents physicians who are the subject of state and federal investigations.
As president of the New York State Bar Association, Sweet leads the largest voluntary state bar association in the country.
