Highly Recommend Brendan Sweeney

There is no better litigation attorney in South Florida. Brendan Sweeney knows the law inside and out, really believes in what he does, and is an incredible attoney. Mr. Sweeney's team works hard, does excellent work, and cares about the people they represent. Highly recommended.

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.

Avoid this firm!!!

We hired this lawyer and his submissions were incomplete, illegible, unintelligible and not timely. The lack of the scope of knowledge in the field that we hired him for that he advertises was minimal at best. It was difficult to get in touch with him or his colleague. When you need representation, l...ook elsewhere!!!

Excellent attorney

As outside counsel for numerous contractors and real estate investment firms I frequently consult with Brendan for construction law issues and general business and legal advice to assist my clients. I never hesitate to send my clients to him directly when necessary.

Trustworthy and efficient

I consulted Brendan on several occasions. He will absolutely go to bat for you no matter how complicated the case and is extremely knowledgeable and educated.
