About
I work with the clients to reach an equitable divorce, pursuing a strategy which will cause the least emotional and financial pain to my client and his or her family. My firm is very experienced at what we do and together we are able to achieve our client's desired results, with clear communication and compassion. Beyond my legal career, I also enjoy sailing when the weather permits (and sometimes when it does not). I passed the Captain's License Exam in March 2015, and look forward to a continuing my lifelong passion of sailing in a new capacity.

On point and straightforward. Looking forward to your answer the next question I posted today.
I met attorney Sweeney for specific matters. He responded to my query on timely basis. He came prepared to the meeting with the relevant statutes that were applicable to my matter. Most importantly, Attorney Sweeney was not greedy or pushy. He was genuine, knowledgable, courteous and sensitive to my situation. Finding good lawyers is difficult- as litigation is an unknown territory for most people and can be expensive. Thus partnering with a trusted legal advisor can make a bad situation somewhat bearable. I feel Attorney Sweeney is that kind of a person who would put the concerns of his clients in perspective.
Paul and Susanne not only saw me through my divorce process (that included children), but have been involved in various follow-up issues in probate court (2011-2016). First and foremost, the entire team (Paul, Susanne, and Lauren) is very professional, caring and extremely responsive. Divorce involving children is always challenging, and is only "seamless" for people with means (which we were not due to life circumstances). What struck me about Paul's process was that he truly sought as much of a win-win scenario as possible - looking out for the interests of my ex-wife also, because of how it would impact the children. If you are looking for a cut-throat, take the ex for all they have mercenary - Paul's not your guy! I respect what Paul's team attempts to achieve for families during a very distressing time.
I would not hesitate to highly recommend Paul and Suzanne. They truly care about your needs, are incredibly responsive and professional. I used them for my divorce that involved a daughter with special needs.
My family and I have had a very responsive and high quality professional relationship--with Paul and his paralegal, Susanne. It has been ongoing for years. I would not hesitate to recommend the Family Law Firm of Paul J. Sweeney to anyone seeking Probate Representation; Estate Advice; or Issues in Family Law.
Attorney Sweeney represented me through my divorce and was able to negotiate a quick settlement which awarded me joint physical custody of my four children without having to go through a costly trial. I can't say enough about how I was and still are treated by him and his paralegal Ms S Paullin !
Attorney Sweeney truly cares about the wellbeing of his clients, both emotionally and financially. Divorce is never easy, but he and his staff help make you feel calm and confident throughout the process. He looks out for the children involved in cases and makes every effort to keep fees down and not litigate unnecessarily. He is a true find in the sea of litigious family law attorneys!
I have known Paul Sweeney for over 16 years. He has handled my divorce in a case where everything has been challenged since day one making it a difficult case not to mention miserable. Attorney Sweeney has been caring, sensitive, tough when it has been warranted and always knowledgeable about all aspects of my case. I have been extremely please with his company (namely Susanne Paullin) and consider myself very fortunate for their representation, timely responses and consideration of my son's best interest always. I would highly recommend Attorney Sweeney.
Paul Sweeney was recommended to me by a friend who had two divorces. She said her first lawyer was horrible and that for her second divorce, she found Paul who was amazing. And that was true for me as well. I went into this process completely naive about how one actually divorces. Paul was calm, compassionate, soft spoken, smart and confident that he would take care of me. He is a wiz with numbers and can move them around better than any car salesman I have ever seen. I ended up with the family home and did not have to buy my husband out which is awesome. I can now move forward without a gigantic mortgage that would have financially choked me.
Paul Sweeney and his assistant Susan, were extremely helpful during my long legal battle with some disagreable family members. I hired him to handle two estate cases that were terribly complicated and he was always responsive to my feelings and questions! Although I have personally not had any dealings with him since the succesful outcome of my cases (2005). I recommended a friend a few years back who was very satisfied with his firm. All in all as far as lawyers go Paul Sweeney, was a good one!!
