Michael John Sweeney

Usually public defenders and prosecutors “negotiate” pleas to push cases through the system faster, even when your case may be strong enough to go to trial because of the need to get cases off their desks as quickly as possible. Michael Sweeney is a one of a kind public defender, who has your best in...terest at heart. He will give you sound legal advice, despite being under the pressure of getting your case off his desk. Mr. Sweeney is highly intelligent and experienced in his profession. He has mastered excellence as an expert defense lawyer. He is confident, organized and well prepared with exceptional presentation talent. He knows the law and he knows how to back it up in court. His passion for what he does shows through his high level of commitment to his work. He has the perseverance to complete the work necessary to drive it to a successful finish. Michael Sweeney is a very caring person who puts your legal needs before anything else. His level of professionalism, knowledge and responsiveness was beyond amazing. Most Public defenders don't have the time to provide face or phone time. Not only was Mr. Sweeney available to discuss my case by phone, he also took the time to meet with me in person before my court date. He goes way above and beyond for his clients. He even called me after work hours the night before my court date "to go over a few things."He genuinely cares for people and it shows. He is kind, compassionate, and friendly. I can honestly not say enough good things about this man. I'm extremely lucky to have had him on my side and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who is in need of a kind, genuinely good hearted, very talented lawyer.

I had Mr. Sweeny as a public defender and he was great. He handle my case like a professional I love his the way he explained the particulars of my case also. He not just talking at you he also seem to be the most relateable lawyer in the court room, and you can tell when you see him thanks again... ...respect for what you do my guy.

When I was incarcerated in DuPage County I felt like I had no more options due to other lawyers experience when I was assigned Michael Sweeney he brung all of those options back to me when I first met him he asked me what did I want to do instead of giving me a choice to pick he didn't use any sophis...ticated words to try to throw me off or maybe not understand he kept it 100 and DIDN'T beat around the bush and gave me some realistic ideas and options I think he deserves better because it is not about the money it is a dedication to his work and i can tell he love's it a lot he is not like other lawyers which I think are a little mean a little stuck-up and could be butthole sometimes what Michael Sweeney is a people's person and gets to understands his clients and sees what's the best option for them instead of him

I have Michael sweetie is my public defender if I didn't know that you was a public defender I would have thought he was his own private lawyer. He is amazing people skills and everybody in the courtroom including the prosecutors like them as he's a great lawyer and a great guy he bent over backwards... to help me out with my case and it came through as he said he would every time he sees me in the hall the courthouse even though he's not my lawyer anymore ejects on my well-being see how I'm doing I personally am one who totally thinks Michael Sweeney should be his own private lawyer and should Branch off Courthouse he is an excellent knowledgeable lawyer
