Thank You Sweeney

Michael Sweeney has to be the best lawyer I've came across. He helped me with my DV cases and my DUI case. Not only is he very professional he actually enjoys getting to know who he represents he isn't just concerned about the case he's also concerned about what is best for his client. I cannot thank... Sweeney enough for all that he has done for me anyone would be lucky enough to have him as a lawyer.

Best Advocate in DuPage County

I'll be the first to admit that I was leary of having to use a Public Defender on a DUI charge in DuPage County. But, fate teamed me up with Michael Sweeney & I couldn't of had a better Advocate if I shelled out thousands & thousands on one for hire! He's intelligent, responsive and at the top of his... game. Not only did he get the charge dismissed, he also got them to Rescind the 3 YEAR Summary Suspension that they placed on my license! BAM-No Fees, No Fines, No Nothing. Thanks again Mr. Sweeney for giving me my freedom back. I am forever in your debt.

One Of The Best!!

I needed legal representation and was skeptical on who to choose to represent me. After speaking with multiple attorneys regarding my case I knew Mr. Sweeney was the one hands down. Out of the 4 attorneys I spoke with, Michael was the most knowledgeable and had the integrity that I was looking for. I...f you want to feel reassured and in the right hands, Mr. Sweeney is without a doubt the attorney you need.

Great Legal Representation

Michael was an outstanding choice for legal representation. it is immediately apparent he cares about you as a person and shows interest in your situation. Choosing Michael Sweeney to defend my case was the best decision I could have made.

A Great Public Defender

Michael Was Great. The First Day I Met Him I Could Tell He Cared About My Case. He Let Me Know What All Possible Outcomes Could Be & How He Would Try To Get The Best One For Me Knowing That I Was Pregnant. He Doesn't Just Want Money He Actually Just Wants The Best For The Individual
