The average lawyer ( Public Defender) are individuals who work with the prosecution to get plea deals in order to get going quicker on finishing their cases/workload with having little to none consideration to what their client is asking or wanting of them, one thing for sure is this man right here, ...is not the average lawyer nor public defense attorney! I can honestly say I've had somewhat my fair share plate of public defenders these past couple of years, and 10/10 times I wished this man was representing me in Kane even though his a Dupage PD. Having said this, Michael Sweeney is a Reputable, Caring, Considerate, Diligent, and most of a outstanding listener and fighter, he will fight for what the defendant wants and needs, as he strong heartedly fought my case with his expertise! You can tell his very passionate about his career in genuinely caring for the people. 100/100 times, I would pick him again and again, if I could choose him if a case was ever to brought up against me again, also know how most attorneys when u call and leave a message are too busy nor don't give a hoot to give you a call back? Well Mr. Sweeney isn't that one bit, always was prompt and courteous in returning my calls when I has questions in regards to my case, that ladies and gentlemen, has to be one the biggest factors a lawyer with a heavy workload can show you in that he genuinely cares!

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.
