Fantastic Service

I have used Atty. Sweeney for both my estate plan and the establishment of my Limited Liability Company. I have found both he and his staff to be extremely responsive and very informative when it came to the different choices I had. J.L. is always available and makes you feel like you are working with an old friend. I highly recommend his services.

Family Oriented Practice

I have relied on the Sweeney & Sweeney firm since 1992 for real estate legal services to include residential and commercial loan closings. Both JL and Jay Sweeney are very honorable and ensure things are done right. As a third generation attorney at the firm, JL Sweeney has maintained his family reputation as an outstanding legal resource as well as an active supporter of our community.

Above and beyond

Has been incredible in helping with understanding a complex estate/mortgage situation because of his knowledge and patience, and then doing more then many would. There is doubt if the need arises for representation, I won’t be making any other calls.

JL gets it done!

JL is fearless. He knows the law and he shoots straight. He has helped us out on several occasions with regard to real estate transactions. Our closings have always been smooth and professional. He's helped us modify deeds, develop an LLC and assisted me in a property dispute. When I hire JL, I know he'll be responsive and keep me in the loop so that I thoroughly know what's going on.

Real Estate Closing

I have bought and sold over 10 properties in the last 25 years and this was the smoothest and well coordinated transaction that I have had. The staff was both knowledgable and professional in all aspects of this transaction.
