After making the decision to end my marriage, I searched for an attorney who had the tenacity to fight an uphill battle for custody but the compassion to understand my situation. I found Attorney Sweeney and went to her office for a consultation. She spent so much time listening to my story and then explained all of my different options. After a long battle, I am thrilled with the results and my current custody arrangement. This was the first time in my life that I had to hire a lawyer, and I am so glad that I found Sweeney Law Offices and Mildred Sweeney.

When going through such a rough time in your life such as a divorce, it is so important to hire an attorney who shows compassion for your situation and advocates for your best interest. Mrs. Sweeney was there for me every step of the way and her entire staff always offered a kind ear when I had questions. I would highly recommend this law firm.

I have worked with Sweeney Law Offices twice now over an 11 year period and could not have asked for anything better either time. They know the laws and will do what is necessary to make sure you are well represented. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone needing a divorce attorney or just help with any family law issue.

I can't begin to describe how wonderful Mildred Sweeney is and how much she has helped in a rather long custody dispute. I came to her with only "supervised visitation" of my two children that I helped raise and left at the end with more then what I could have hoped and asked for. Not only did she help end my divorce, but she traveled the dark waters of child sharing with the underdog parent. Mildred is personal and cares and really gets deep into her cases. Not only did she direct me on what to do and when to do it, but she fought tooth and nail when the time came. Please, do yourself a favor and look no further. Mildred will forever have my business and I can never thank her enough for what she has helped me gain- my roles back as a father in my childrens lives.

Attorney Sweeney did a great job helping us with Grandparent Rights. We are now getting visits; and having telephone contact with our Granddaughter. We cant thank Attorney Sweeney enough for helping us in this matter.

Attorney Sweeney truly is an amazing person and brilliant attorney. I found her to be extremely supportive and knowledgeable during one of the most difficult times of my life. And, not only was she supportive and caring to my situation, but she knows the law and had my best interest and that of my children, at heart. Before I came to Attorney Sweeney, I sought legal counsel from an attorney that was more convenient to where I live. It was a costly and disheartening mistake. I am so glad that I found my way to Sweeney law offices.

In this extremely emotional and stressful case our attorney, Mildred Sweeney, was hired to help us get specific visitation to see our Grandchildren. She is a straight shooter, she doesn't sugar coat anything. You know that with the court system nothing is guaranteed, but after our appointments with Attorney Sweeney we were confident she understood what we wanted and aggressively worked our case. Although, she has a tough exterior she was sympathetic to our needs and to the concerns we had for our Grandchildren's health and happiness. We now have designated visits and vacation time with our precious Grandchildren.

If you are serious about protecting or even having to save your grandchildren from their parents/step-parents, you can find no better ally than Mildred Sweeney. Over the last four years she devised and led a legal challenge that not only saved our grandchild from a surgically implanted feeding tube but gave us legally guaranteed visitation in Pennsylvania and beyond. At almost every step of the way, she warned us that we probably “didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell”, but somehow she overcame those odds. Mildred does not give false hope nor does she avoid discussing the difficult choices that have to be made. She does investigate all the laws involved and searches for support whenever it is needed. We were serious about the welfare of our grandchild and thanked God that we found Mildred.

You will not find a more aggressive advocate for the rights of your children than Mildred Sweeney. She is a zealous advocate for her clients and her fees are very good for such an experienced attorney. I would recommend her to anyone who has any type of family law issue. She is the best. I owe her a lot more than this review.
