I hired John to review a fairly complex matter related to my business. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the issues and helped me quickly navigate through the situation. He's smart, efficient and a pleasure to work with.

My first call on all tax and estate matters is John Sweeney @SweeneyLegal. He has walked me through setting up an LLC. He has reviewed the various options with me and what the tax implications are. He is a no fuss no muss attorney that is very conscious of my time and the impact on cost. He consistently gives me options to do things myself or to have him do them for me and what the pricing is. He keeps my family financially in balance because he helps with the big picture as well as the more detailed issues.

My mother is in her 80’s and John Sweeney is the lawyer I go to for advice regarding her care. When you think of all the complexities associated with someone of advanced age, it’s nice to have someone to go to who can simplify it all and help you navigate through any possible difficulties so your focus can be on your loved one. His advice is invaluable. I am very happy with John and will continue to go to him for advice. I highly recommend him!

John helped me approach building my company from an extremely knowledgeable standpoint. Every question I had, he had an answer to. After meeting with him a few times, we pieced together an extremely comprehensive plan that I'm super proud of. John is truly one of the most intelligent and committed people I've ever met and I could not be happier with the help he's provided.

I sought John's counsel during a recent employment separation. The documents pursuant to which I was contracted with my then-current employer were numerous and complex, but John was able to efficiently distill their contents. He presented me with a clear description of the most impactful provisions and explained how I should consider each as I proceeded to negotiate my separation. John's analysis and summary gave me the confidence and intelligence I needed throughout the process.

John is a great Lawyer! I recently had several issues with aging parents and the legal/ care issues that come with that situation. It was great to have John's knowledge and insight to those problems. I know feel we have a much better understanding and plan for my aging parents. Thanks John! I would highly recommend John for any legal services that you may be considering him for!
