We could not be happier with the service we received from Sweeney Law. We live out of state and needed representation in the Ft. Lauderdale, Miami area. Sweeney Law was recommended to us and I am pleased we followed the adice. During the initial consultation, Mr. Sweeney clearly laid out our options and made sure I fully understood them. He then fully detailed the next steps. This was one of the things I really liked about Sweeney Law. They always made sure I understood what was happening and what was going to happen next. During the entire proceedings we would receive regular updates on the case and what was happening. At any time I could reach out with questions and would always get a very prompt response. Mr. Sweeney really understands the laws and brought our case to a positive conclusion. I highly recommend Sweeney Law.

Mr. Sweeney helped me dealing with some complicated issues with a national mortgage company. The case was an uphill battle and not guaranteed that I would prevail, but we did! He was able to negotiate a settlement deal that I was comfortable with. It was rare to come out on top with the case I had, but we were determined. He was very easy to contact, not only by phone but by e-mail as well. He was thorough in answering my questions and explaining everything at hand. He also he did not make any assumptions or move forward with anything without letting me know what was happening. I am very appreciative for everything he did for me.

Brendan was referred to me by a friend after expressing my disappointment with other attorneys I'd dealt with. He answered all my questions in terms I could understand and walked me through the process every step of the way. He truly wants to help people! Saying that I'm satisfied with his quality of service would be a gross understatement. I will go to him for all my legal needs in the future. Thank you so much again Brendan!
