Employment law matter - resolved!

Responsive attorney and dialed in to the system in South Florida. Worked through a challenging case resulting in a settlement in a short period of time.

Got the other party to pay within a week

Mr. Sweeney took our construction related case and within a week we received a check from the other party. We tried to get paid for months without results. Once Mr. Sweeney got involved everything moved to our favor. Thank you so much for representing us. We will recommend you.

A Good Choice

I have had the pleasure of having Brendan Sweeney both as a colleague and as my attorney for many years. I don’t normally write reviews for anything, but hiring an attorney is one of the most important decisions a person can make so I felt the need to do this. I think there are three things that ma...ke Brendan an excellent attorney. First is experience. He has gone toe-to-toe with lawyers of all kinds. Whether he needs to respond to a complex legal argument from a large international law firm or deal with a shady opposing counsel’s tricks, Brendan handles it with poise. Second is empathy. Brendan genuinely cares about his clients. There are many lawyers and law firms out there who claim to do this, but they will often pass you off to legal assistants, paralegals, or receptionists, and hardly return your calls. Brendan takes the time to communicate with his clients and understands how their particular legal issues affect their lives. Third is professionalism. Not only does Brendan fight for his clients, he does it in a way that earns the respect of judges and other attorneys. This translates into better outcomes for his clients and is something he has earned over years of practicing law. If you are wondering whether to hire Brendan as your attorney, I for one can strongly recommend him.

We had an excellent representation.

Brendan is knowledgeable, ethical and honest. He cares about his clients. Brendan and his legal team represented us in a construction contract involving a fraudulent contractor. Brendan and Rabiah fought for us until the resolution of our case and made sure that we were well represented throughout th...e whole time. Brendan understand his clients needs and is an expert in his field. We are so thankful!

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!
