Honest man

Mr. Sweeny has helped me not only smile in court room (because at times it is hard to do, considering the situation you're in) but gave me hope for my case. He manage to drop my felony and helped me with my DUI case. All in a matter of a year, he has been there to give me legal advice and helped me s...tay on top of things. I am grateful to have a lawyer who not only cares but delivers ! Professional, sharp, and quick with making moves. Thanks Mr. Sweeny. "God works wonders now and then; behold a laywer, an honest man"

Sweeney!

Micahael Sweeney took on my first DUI case . After several court appearances my spirits , and hopes were crushed and I was expecting nothing but the worse . Sweeney convinced me to stay positive , and convinced me we could potentially beat this . AND sure enough he did ! He cares about you , and take...s his time to get you the results you need .

Outstanding Lawyer

I am very grateful to have had Michael represent me in court. I was up against my second DUI. I thought it was hopeless. But Michael was confident and kept my spirits up that we could get it reduced to Reckless Driving, and HE DID. He helped me keep my license. He knows if you want to change your lif...e for the better, and you show it, he will defend you in getting that done. I thank him with all my heart. He wants to keep in touch to know how I am doing. Above and beyond what I expected. Thank you Michael and God bless.

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.
