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.

The BEST of the BEST

Sweeney is an excellent public defender and he should be paid as a personal lawyer because he is just that good! Sweeney was always very professional and always kept me updated with any concerns or questions I had. He got me the best deal when I felt I was treated unjustly. I got my license back for ...my DUI that was dropped. When I had finals for school and I couldn't make it, he appeared for me. I would recommend this public defender to anyone with the confidence he will handle your case swiftly and accurately. I appreciate him for his services and time.

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.
