DELIVERED!

I cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I had Timothy represent me! As an ACTIVE DUTY, SINGLE FATHER, my divorce was seemingly never ending. After 16 months, two previous lawyers, over 10k spent, and an attempt to go Pro Se... I felt lost. I found Timothy after exhaustive research. I was scared and felt like I had nowhere to go. After my first conversation with Timothy, I felt like I once again had HOPE. Timothy listened to me, asked what I was seeking, and in LESS THAN A MONTH my divorce was final. The combination of Timothy and Kelsey (his legal assistant) made me feel like I was their NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. They were exceptionally professional, exhibited masterful communication, and in the end... DELIVERED! I'm still in shock that he was able to successfully conclude my nightmare divorce and on terms that I am more than comfortable with.

A really good experience

The attorneys at Sweet Family Law really helped me out when I needed them. They listened to me and were always available to answer my questions. Most of all, they treated me like a person during a really difficult time. I highly recommend them.

Honest, attentive, knowledgeable, reasonable

The word honest is probably not the first work that comes to mind when describing a family law attorney, but I must say that I found Tim to share the same transparency, integrity and honesty that I value. In the world of divorce and mud slinging, it's nice to argue a case based on facts and ethics, rather than lies and digs. Don't get me wrong: Tim can take a firm hardline, but he will do it without compromising his ethics and without making up lies about opposing counsel. He will argue based on law, fact, and most importantly, based on the best interests of kids, if involved. . My motto is be honest, be truthful, be real. Tim shares these core values. I would strongly recommend him.

Custody/Family Court Matters

Attorney Timothy Sweet has been a true blessing to me & my family. My situation is a rather complex, difficult & lengthy case and I am so thankful that I found Attorney Sweet. From the moment that I met Mr. Sweet I knew that I had finally found an attorney who actually cared about my case and didn't look at me like I am just a number nor a dollar sign. Mr. Sweet listened to everything that I had to say and explained in detail what our potential strategy plan could be and how the process worked. Tim is very honest and straight forward and is not going to promise things that he can't deliver. Attorney Sweet has a rather unique and intellegnt strategical approach on how address the situation that I was very impressed with. He responds to correspondance in a timely fashion and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of a family court attorney and/or knows of anyone in need of an attorney. Tim is very dedicated and passionate about his profession and his cases. I couldn't be any happier nor thankful than I am to find Attorney Sweet!! Thank you Tim for everything :)

Child support help

Mr. Sweet was able to keep me from being charged with a felony and out of prison. He was cordial, and always responded to my calls and emails. I could'nt have asked for a more professional and compitent lawyer. Thanks Tim

Timothy Sweet Review

I found Tim to be a very knowledgable lawyer who handled my case with sensitivity during a difficult time. He is a lawyer who advises but also listens to what his clients want. I would definitely recommend Tim to anyone.

Posted by Emily | August 14, 2013

exemplary attorney

Timothy Sweet is the paradigm of a professional lawyer. His knowledge in law is unparalleled to any other attorney I have known. He is articulate, HONEST, and will represent you to the best of his ability. I have known Timothy for many years, and he has managed the estate of my will. I would not put such trust and responsibility into the hands of any other lawyer but Tim Sweet.
