I retained Mr Sweeney to handle my case. Him and his staff took the time to sit down and review the case and explain what was to be expected from the case. They explained any hurdles and might come up. They were quick to communicate when needed whether a phone call or email and they were always a phone call away. Very happy with the way the case turned out, will definitely use them in the future if I ever need to and will definitely recommend them to others.

I hired Attorney Sweeney for a consultation. He was kind enough to understand that to me the matter was urgent and scheduled a call the same day i called his office. He clarified the issue for me and eased my mind to the point that it was no longer a concern by the end of our 30 minute call. He is extremely knowledgable and i look forward to hiring him in the near future to draw up all my contracts.

My partner and i recently needed some legal help with a civil lawsuit against us. We researched the best attorney to represent us. We were lucky enough to come across Brendan. Brendan saw us through everything from start to finish. He made a tough situation for us bearable and got us a settlement. We were very satisfied! I would highly recommend Brendan.

I recently retained attorney Sweeney to represent myself in a civil matter against me and my company. Attorney Sweeney was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I did a lot of homework before picking the correct attorney for me. I interviewed a few attorneys before stumbling on attorney Sweeney. After the first five minutes of speaking to him I felt so calm and confident in his ability to represent me. We worked together for about 18 months and the whole time I felt completely confident in his ability to direct me, give me great advice and represent me in the best way possible.

Brendan recently helped me navigate the quick purchase of an investment beach condo in Maryland directly from the seller. He amended the contract (prepared by the seller’s attorney) to better reflect my interests and closely examined the building inspector’s report to advise regarding major vs minor issues. Brendan thoroughly answered all my concerns and questions in a timely manner, consistently kept me informed during entire process, and followed up after the closing. It was a seamless experience for me. I highly recommend Brendan.
