Stellar attorney!!!!!!!

Attorney Jesse Sweeney went above and beyond on my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He worked with me through some very complicated and stressful issues. It was like having a family member help me out because he not only got me a lower payment than I ever expected, but he made me relax. I had worked with anoth...er bankruptcy attorney who caused me nothing but stress. I rarely got returned calls and came dangerously close to losing my case. I switched to Jesse who went into overdrive and got me on track with the bankruptcy court. I even had an issue where my car was totaled in a wreck on I-94 before my case was confirmed. Jesse took me out of panic mode and worked with the court QUICKLY to get me into another car. I cannot praise Jesse's work ethic enough. I have NEVER met anyone so dedicated to making sure their client not only gets what the paid for, but helps them go through a very stressful process so smoothly. I can't thank him enough for what he did for me, my wife and 3 boys. I'm on track to be done in 5 years and I'm so thrilled.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
