About

Attorney Sean M. Sweeney is a partner with Halling & Cayo, S.C. and has the requisite skills, education, and experience to help serve all of your legal needs in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area. Sean earned his Juris Doctor (JD) and Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Marquette University. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics from Northern Arizona University. Before opening his own practice, Sean worked for the Milwaukee Bucks as a legal intern drafting and reviewing big dollar sponsorship deals. Sean has experience drafting contracts ranging from small business contracts to plow a parking lot to large corporation contracts dealing with operating and maintaining real estate. Sean has not only the legal training and experience needed to provide complete service, he also has the education and training to understand the real world needs and challenges that organizations large and small face today. Guardian Ad Litem's Office: While in Law School Sean worked for the Guardian Ad Litem's Office in the Children's Court. While there, he worked on cases involving Children in Need of Protective Services actions as well as Termination of Parental Rights actions. Sean also researched extensively and helped prepare for a Wisconsin Supreme Court case involving a Termination of Parental Rights action. Milwaukee and Waukesha County Public Defenders Appointments: Tosa Law Office has represented clients as a Public Defender appointed Attorney in both Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. The public defenders office provides legal assistance to those people charged with a crime who do not have the means to pay for counsel on their own. Often times the Public Defenders Office is not able to adequately serve all of the people who need assistance, therefore attorneys such as Sean with Tosa Law Office take some of the surplus cases to help ease the burden on the often overtaxed public defenders office. Big Brothers Big Sisters: Sean has been a Big Brother through the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization in Milwaukee since July of 2007. Sean has been placed with a little brother, Sema-j, Sema-j and Sean have had a lot of fun together and the experience has shown to be very rewarding for both Sean and Sema-j. As a personal recommendation, I would ask that anyone who has the time, (just a few hours a month) should sign up to be a big brother or big sister. I do not know of any other way to more significantly impact a young persons life than to simply take an interest and help teach them how to feel good about themselves and be successful in life. This request comes doubly for Men to be big brothers as there is always a shortage of Big Brothers vs. Big Sisters.

While it is unfortunate that I needed to engage counsel for an action against one of the major brokerage and investment banking firms, I am very fortunate to have been introduced to Sean Sweeney of Halling & Cayo. Simply stated, Sean is an outstanding attorney! Sean is smart, professional, methodical and tenacious, which is precisely what I need given the complexities of the case and who opposing counsel is. Additionally, unlike many litigators who come off as being aggressive and combative, Sean is soft spoken, reasonable and tempered. I do not doubt that he can flip the switch when and if he needs to, but his demeanor seems to be that of a deal maker with one eye towards settlement and the other towards trial, as opposed to others who might only want to fight, sometimes at the expense of their clients. I also appreciate how Sean has explained everything in detail and how he quickly responds to my questions. Although we are not yet finished, I am absolutely confident that Sean will resolve the situation favorably and timely and I look forward to seeing a positive outcome in the end. It is therefore with great pleasure and no reservations that I can highly recommend Sean Sweeney.

Recently hired Sean to review a business contract. We were so impressed with how thorough Sean was. When he met with us to go over the contract, it was obvious he has some mad skills. I would have thought he spent a week studying the contract for how well he knew in it cover to cover. He didn't miss a beat! We later needed his assistance to amend parts of the contract, which he took care of that day, although he didn't think he would get to it until the next business day. His amendments were dead on with what we needed. We are so impressed with his knowledge and the kind & humble, yet confident way he handles himself. He has give us the best experience and service we could ever hope for in legal matters. We will continue doing business with Sean. So happy we had found you!! Thank you Sean!
