Need representation against a contractor? This is your guy!

Brendan Sweeney came highly recommended by another attorney after a contractor took money for a major renovation, and then disappeared. Brendan mediated a successful settlement that got me a large portion of my money back. Excellent attorney that made the process manageable.

Class A act

Mr Sweeney was instrumental in helping us when our GC left the job incomplete and not to specs. He was thorough, described the landscape, set expectations and was a true pleasure to work with. He made the process easy and was trustworthy, dependable and a class A act. Would highly recommend and use h...im again but praying we never have to again. :)

Reliable, honest, prompt, and courteous legal advice

We recently entered a purchase agreement to buy a home. However, after the home inspection revealed several serious issues, we wanted to withdraw from the agreement . Although our concerns were very legitimate, the seller did not want to release us from the agreement and return our earnest money. We... consulted Mr. Sweeney about the situation , and he provided us with clear, honest advice as to how to proceed. Due to his recommendations, the seller acquiesced without us having to resort to litigation. And we got back all of the earnest money. We highly recommend using Mr. Sweeney's services when buying or selling real estate. His advice and guidance are invaluable.

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!
