I think there are three things that make Brendan an excellent attorney. First is experience. He has gone toe-to-toe with lawyers of all kinds. Whether he needs to respond to a complex legal argument from a large international law firm or deal with a shady opposing counsel’s tricks, Brendan handles it with poise. Second is empathy. Brendan genuinely cares about his clients. There are many lawyers and law firms out there who claim to do this, but they will often pass you off to legal assistants, paralegals, or receptionists, and hardly return your calls. Brendan takes the time to communicate with his clients and understands how their particular legal issues affect their lives. Third is professionalism. Not only does Brendan fight for his clients, he does it in a way that earns the respect of judges and other attorneys. This translates into better outcomes for his clients and is something he has earned over years of practicing law.

As outside counsel for numerous contractors and real estate investment firms I frequently consult with Brendan for construction law issues and general business and legal advice to assist my clients. I never hesitate to send my clients to him directly when necessary.

Brendan is a very good attorney that represented us in a very complex case involving construction. He and his legal team cared for us in a lengthy case and fought until the end. The best part is that we won the case!

I would highly recommend working with Brendan. He is very knowledgeable on the law, took the time to explain in great details my very complex case and was very thorough. He accomplished what my previous attorney failed to do and I am forever grateful to him. Thank you Brendan!

I had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Sweeney to represent me on a case in which I was 100% satisfied. Mr. Sweeney fought for me and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was so impressed with his professionalism and candor, with that being said he comes highly recommended. I will never seek legal advice without Mr. Sweeney's guidance.

Brendan worked with us to resolve a lien a contractor placed on our property. We have had difficulty finding ethical/honest professionals in FL, I wish we had found Brendan sooner. Everything Brendan said in our initial call is exactly what he did, we are very happy with his services and would highly recommend him.

Brendan Sweeney handled the sale of my home in MD to a developer. He expertly dealt with the buyers, title company and myself in a prompt, professional manner via phone calls, emails and texts. Honestly, he relieved me of so much stress and I was able to concentrate on my actual move to another state. Thank you, Brendan!
