Brendan A. Sweeney, Esq., is the founding partner and driving force behind Sweeney Law, P.A. He focuses his practice on business, consumer, construction, real estate law, and Title III-ADA litigation, and brings a great deal of experience to the table.

Attorney Sweeney started out his career as a trial attorney representing the state of Florida in criminal matters as an Assistant State Attorney for the Fourth Judicial Court of Florida. Subsequently, he moved on to gain a deep understanding of real estate law and civil litigation while practicing with large international and national law firms representing the world’s largest financial institutions.

Leadership is not something that is new to Brendan. At his previous firm, he directed and trained a group of junior associates that were responsible for the prosecution and defense of real property and consumer related claims throughout the state of Florida. Brendan is also a LEED-AP Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) accredited attorney. He has counseled clients on construction law issues such as state and federal procurement requirements, construction lien negotiations, construction defect claims, bid disputes, and payment and performance bond claims.

Brendan continues to distinguish himself on an ongoing basis, and the legal community has been taking notice for years. He was named as a Florida Legal Elite Up and Comer in 2014 and 2015, and he has also been identified as a Florida Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Brendan is a member of the Florida Bar and the Maryland Bar, and he serves on a number of different relevant American Bar Association and Florida Bar committees. Just recently Brendan was appointed by the Florida Bar to serve a three year term on the prestigious standing committee on the Unlicensed Practice of Law.

As a community minded person, Brendan regularly appears in court at shelter hearings as a pro bono attorney for the Guardian Ad Litem of Broward County. Additionally, Attorney Sweeney is a graduate of Leadership Broward Class of XXXIV where he served as a Chairperson for the awareness campaign of a local non-profit organization.

As you can see, when you work with Sweeney Law, you are going to be represented by an attorney who has a great deal of experience, sophistication, and has a proven track record of leadership throughout the community.

Grateful for Brendan
I would highly recommend working with Brendan. He is very knowledgeable on the law, took the time to explain in great details my very complex case and was very thorough. He accomplished what my previous attorney failed to do and I am forever grateful to him. Thank you Brendan!

The Best
I had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Sweeney to represent me on a case in which I was 100% satisfied. Mr. Sweeney fought for me and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was so impressed with his professionalism and candor, with that being said he comes highly recommended. I will never seek legal advice without Mr. Sweeney's guidance.

Resolved contractor lien
Brendan worked with us to resolve a lien a contractor placed on our property. We have had difficulty finding ethical/honest professionals in FL, I wish we had found Brendan sooner. Everything Brendan said in our initial call is exactly what he did, we are very happy with his services and would highly recommend him.

The attorney's attorney.
I am actually an attorney myself. When I learned I was being taken advantage of by my interior designer, I called a few trusted colleagues regarding recommendations on whom to hire. Consistently, the same name came back: Brendan Sweeney. Brendan did one helluva a job and I cannot say enough good things about him.

Excellent real estate attorney
I was so fortunate to have Brendan Sweeney as my attorney for the recent sale of my home to a developer. While I thought I could manage the process myself, it became clear that I needed legal representation. Brendan handled those communications, allowing me to concentrate on the actual process of packing and moving. All is well!!

Construction Lawyer
Mr Sweeney and his team did a great job with my case. They were very attentive and honest. They took time to sit and explain the steps to how we were going to resolve the case. They were very patient throughout the process that took two years and we're always one phone call away. Great communication between phone calls and emails as well. Will highly recommend them in the future to friends and clients.

Greg Hoffman - Very satisfied customer
I hired Attorney Sweeny for a consultation on a matter that was keeping me awake at night. The night i spoke to him, i slept like a baby. First of all he scheduled the call the same day i requested it which meant a great deal to me and second of all he totally eased my concerns, clarified the law for me and explained to me in detail exactly what i wanted to know. Next step is hiring Attorney Sweeney to draw up all my contracts.
