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.
