I cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I had Timothy represent me! As an ACTIVE DUTY, SINGLE FATHER, my divorce was seemingly never ending. After 16 months, two previous lawyers, over 10k spent, and an attempt to go Pro Se... I felt lost. I found Timothy after exhaustive research. I was scared and felt like I had nowhere to go. After my first conversation with Timothy, I felt like I once again had HOPE. Timothy listened to me, asked what I was seeking, and in LESS THAN A MONTH my divorce was final. The combination of Timothy and Kelsey (his legal assistant) made me feel like I was their NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. They were exceptionally professional, exhibited masterful communication, and in the end... DELIVERED! I'm still in shock that he was able to successfully conclude my nightmare divorce and on terms that I am more than comfortable with.

The attorneys at Sweet Family Law really helped me out when I needed them. They listened to me and were always available to answer my questions. Most of all, they treated me like a person during a really difficult time. I highly recommend them.

The word honest is probably not the first work that comes to mind when describing a family law attorney, but I must say that I found Tim to share the same transparency, integrity and honesty that I value. In the world of divorce and mud slinging, it's nice to argue a case based on facts and ethics, rather than lies and digs. Don't get me wrong: Tim can take a firm hardline, but he will do it without compromising his ethics and without making up lies about opposing counsel. He will argue based on law, fact, and most importantly, based on the best interests of kids, if involved. . My motto is be honest, be truthful, be real. Tim shares these core values. I would strongly recommend him.

I first contacted The Law Offices of Timothy M. Sweet when I did not know what else to do concerning my son. My connection with Mr. Sweet meant to me far more than my case as he took the time to understand the situation. I am so grateful for the work and effort his office has invested in me, for it exceeded my expectations. No matter what time of day, Mr. Sweet made sure he was available to provide and give the best possible solutions for the matter. Although stressed and worried at times, the Office managed to put my mind at ease and was selfless; which left me the ability to go on with my work day. I could not have had a better lawyer and representative. The Law Offices of Timothy M. Sweet executed my case with excellence and accomplished the best solution for my son. I finally got my son back and cannot fully express the joy I feel. I cannot thank them enough. Thank you Timothy for picking up my late night calls. Thank you Brittney for being able to understand my pain and making it possible for the better.

Attorney Timothy Sweet has been a true blessing to me & my family. My situation is a rather complex, difficult & lengthy case and I am so thankful that I found Attorney Sweet. From the moment that I met Mr. Sweet I knew that I had finally found an attorney who actually cared about my case and didn't look at me like I am just a number nor a dollar sign. Mr. Sweet listened to everything that I had to say and explained in detail what our potential strategy plan could be and how the process worked. Tim is very honest and straight forward and is not going to promise things that he can't deliver. Attorney Sweet has a rather unique and intellegnt strategical approach on how address the situation that I was very impressed with. He responds to correspondance in a timely fashion and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of a family court attorney and/or knows of anyone in need of an attorney. Tim is very dedicated and passionate about his profession and his cases. I couldn't be any happier nor thankful than I am to find Attorney Sweet!! Thank you Tim for everything :)

Mr. Sweet was able to keep me from being charged with a felony and out of prison. He was cordial, and always responded to my calls and emails. I could'nt have asked for a more professional and compitent lawyer. Thanks Tim

Attorney Sweet is empathetic, knowledgeable, and trustworthy in family law. He dealt with some emotionally charged post divorce issues with my child and ex-wife and he was able to calm the situation not inflame it. He kept me informed at a very appropriate level.

I needed a divorce lawyer and began an online search of RI and nearby Massachusetts. I read and read the specifics each page offered most sounded revengeful and plain awful until I came across Timothy Sweets page, his website was easy to read and his 'contact' page quick to find. His references were the type I'd hope to find, words that expressed action without malice or harm. I met with Mr Sweet and found him to be what I felt true to his word. I asked for his work in helping me to achieve as peaceful as possible a divorce and he did just that! I would highly recommend Timothy Sweet to anyone.
