Brendan Sweeney came highly recommended by another attorney after a contractor took money for a major renovation, and then disappeared. Brendan mediated a successful settlement that got me a large portion of my money back. Excellent attorney that made the process manageable.

We are extremely grateful for the exceptional service and care Mr. Sweeney and Ms. Rabiah provided during our year-long battle with a construction lien on our property. We were wrongfully sued due to our roofing contractor's unpaid debts, and the situation worsened after the roofer's tragic passing, leaving us unfairly responsible. Throughout this stressful time, Mr. Sweeney and Ms. Rabiah offered expert legal advice and compassion. They were always available, attentive to our concerns, and worked diligently on our case. Thanks to their dedication, we reached a favorable settlement and can now move forward. We highly recommend their services and are forever thankful for their support.

No puedo expresar suficiente lo agradecidos que estamos con el excepcional servicio y cuidado que nos brindaron el Sr. Sweeney y la Sra. Rabiah durante nuestro largo proceso con un embargo de construcción en nuestra propiedad. Desde el principio, fuimos injustamente demandados debido a la falta de pago de nuestro contratista de techado a la empresa de materiales. Para empeorar las cosas, nuestro contratista falleció y se nos culpó injustamente de la deuda pendiente. Durante este tiempo tan estresante y difícil, el Sr. Sweeney y la Sra. Rabiah estuvieron a nuestro lado, brindándonos orientación legal experta y una gran compasión. Fueron muy atentos, siempre disponibles para resolver nuestras inquietudes y trabajaron incansablemente para manejar nuestro caso con gran cuidado. Gracias a su esfuerzo, logramos un acuerdo con el que estamos muy satisfechos. Ahora podemos dejar atrás este capítulo y seguir adelante con nuestras vidas.
