Mr. Sweeney took on a Federal case for me where history had proved it would be a highly challenging case to win. Mike took on that responsibility eagerly and willingly. His self-confidence, agreeable personality, effective and efficient communications skills were essential and constant. During many stressful situations, he responsed positively as an active listener and supporter. He worked tirelessly over the course of several years in a capacity that was always intelligent, skilled and very dependable all the way up to our day of victory. Mr. Sweeny exceeded my expectations in every way.

Michael Thomas Sweeney, successfully settled a complicated lawsuit for me and 19 other clients. Mr. Sweeney was thorough, responsive, and informative. Mr. Sweeney's intelligence, persistance, and experiece were invaluable to settle our case. The lawsuit was against a restaurant we all worked for and the company was cheating us of our rightful pay. Through research, investigation, and many numbers, Michael Sweeney got to the bottom of it. And in doing so got us all what was rightfully ours. I was so grateful to have a professional such as Mr. Sweeney heading our case. He is reliable, reachable, skilled, and effective. I would use Mr. Sweeney again and I highly recommend him.
