Kathleen Marie Sweeney

I got in touch with Kathleen upon a reference through a friend. I was charged with a felony when I approached Kathleen and Chaz. They heard my side of the story. Kathleen said, "I will let you know when to worry, till then make sure you live your normal life". They put up a strong defense for me, and... call it gods grace or a miracle, got my case dismissed. From my experience, I can say, she knows what she is doing, and she does it with firmness and poise. I would recommend Kathleen and Chaz to anyone who needs a strong attorney who will fight for you.

I hired Kathleen Sweeney after receiving a riveting recommendation from a prior client. He was facing Class D felony charges in State court and realized in the 11th hour that his attorney lacked experience. He changed attorneys to Kathleen one day before heading to court. Once there she plea barga...ined like a bulldog, not letting go of the prosecutor until she had an acceptable deal with no jail time on the table. I knew Kathleen was the attorney for me. I subsequently witnessed Kathleen’s defense of a colleague during sentencing in Federal court. He had pled guilty and was facing a court recommendation of 110-180 months of incarceration. She spent significant time preparing for his defense. She genuinely cared about the outcome. Despite the prosecutor’s prior refusal to plea bargain, Kathleen was very persuasive in gaining agreement to refute claims for financial restitution. She also had done considerable research and presented numerous behavioral studies to the court in support of a reduced sentence. She was professional, but assertive, in challenging the judge’s perspectives on key topics affecting the sentencing. These factors, along with critical feedback she provided to aid our colleague’s statement to the court, influenced the judge to render a sentence significantly below federal guidelines. Kathleen knows the law, she is very persuasive, and has the experience and relationships that make the critical difference. She is an amazing lawyer. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney. I also consider Kathleen a very personable, caring, & honest attorney. In my case, she made special arrangements to protect the confidentiality of therapy sessions I attended. Similar arrangements were made for a polygraph I took to share with my family. After many legal planning sessions, she reached out to law enforcement and discerned that no state or federal charges would be filed. She refunded nearly all the fees I had paid her, only charging what I considered a very fair rate for her time and the special services I had requested.

Kathleen Sweeney was retained to represent a nephew that got caught up with the wrong person, in the wrong place, at a very wrong time. He was facing some pretty serious felony charges, with the potential of spending many years incarcerated. Kathleen, along with everyone in her office were very profe...ssional and personable at the same time. While not sugar coating what my nephew was facing, she at the same time was able to bring me peace of mind. She worked very hard and diligently on the case. Because of the hard work of Kathleen and her staff, along with her tenacious personality, she was able to get all of the felony charges against my nephew dropped and he was released after doing very minimal time considering what he was facing. I would recommend her and anyone else in the Sweeney Law Firm to anyone that found themselves needing her type of expertise. I was ,and still am, very grateful to have found her!

Kathleen represented me a little over 3 years ago and she is both highly professional and very personable. Our first meeting was at Starbucks over coffee. She turned what was a tense situation for me into something that I was able to trust that she could resolve. The outcome of my case was so posi...tive that I recommended her to a friend that was having difficulty with his counsel. She took that case and resolved it quickly much to my friends delight. In fact he called me to thank me for recommending Kathleen and told me how happy he was with her respresentation. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is a fantastic lawyer and all around wonderful person!
