I got hit by a car in 2017 and had no idea what to do. To make matters worse I had found a lawyer for my case prior to Matt, but when push came to shove she dropped me- but Matt stepped up. During the entire ordeal Matt pursued every option we had diligently and aggressively. I never felt left in the dark about what was going on or what was going to happen next. His communication was top notch and his representation of my case (which was a complete success) was as good as it gets. If you're looking for a stand up guy who cares about you and your case and wants to win- talk to Matt.

Matt was there for me right from the beginning in my personal injury case. He took the time to explain all sides of the issues involved and was persistent and professional. Over the course of months on my case he was always easy to talk to and he kept me informed regularly. I was very pleased with the outcome and would recommend his services to anyone in need of a smart, thorough, and passionate attorney.

Matt handled my personal injury case better than I could have imagined. He is a thorough, concise, and quick communicator. He helped me to understand the case throughout, while offering sound advice and guidance. He achieved the ideal outcome, and I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Sweeney was hired to assist in an injury case that had stalled in the hands of another local attorney. Not only did we achieve the resolution we were ultimately after, Mr. Sweeney did so in a fraction of the time contrasted to the previous attorney. Smart. Quick. Knows his business. Highly recommend!

Mr. Sweeney is efficient, works in a timely fashion, and obtained the best outcome I could have hoped for. He gave me peace of mind and I would use him again in a heartbeat.

I hired Mr. Sweeney regarding a first time DUI offense. Before initial contact I was overwhelmed at how I was going to effectively deal with the situation. After my first consult, I felt properly educated on what my options were and how to go forward in the most efficient manor. Given my prior consults with several other lawyers, I felt confident in hiring Matt for his knowledge of the local landscape and extensive track record. The outcome was better than I thought it would be and I never felt pressured through the entire process.

Very nice guy. Easy to deal with. He was very gung-ho about my case and then as it proceeded, just fizzled out. When it came down to it, he wanted to take the easy way out to ensure that he got some money and did not want to chance losing and coming out with nothing. I felt that he did not represent me in the best way possible and he had me settle before we even got started, after he said he was confident that he could win this case if he got it in front of a jury. He then, didn't even try to get it in front of a jury. It was a very disappointing ending and I wished I had switched lawyers when I saw his interest level go to nothing on my case. It was a night and day difference from when he started the case to when he ended it. I am not at all happy with the outcome. He did not fight for me at all. I just don't think he has enough experience or the pit bull personality needed to go up against big corporations to fight for employees rights.
