Posted by SH | April 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Brilliant and compassionate attorney

Charlotte Sweeney is a brilliant employee advocate and a genuinely compassionate person. I made the difficult and scary decision to stand up for myself in a work place that I felt was unjust. Charlotte and her legal team sat with me and talked me through what to expect from the process as well as wha...t to expect emotionally. Having their knowledge, experience, and calming sincerity made the path ahead clear and navigable. It gave me the confidence and courage to continue; resulting in an outcome that I felt was in my best interest and made me feel happy and safe with my future career. I could not have done it without Charlotte and her team. I am so glad I had her representation and support!

A+

Not only is Charlotte the most professional, competent, and driven lawyer I have ever met, she is first and foremost a human being. I believe she genuinely cares about her clients and is passionate about what she does. This rare combination makes her fierce legal force to be reckoned with, and I feel... confident in highly recommending her to anyone looking for unparalleled legal service, expertise, and a successful outcome. I feel lucky she took on my case, and firmly believe believe it is only because she cares...even about the little people.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
