Sweeney's is a great lawyer n he will do a great job by getting you home to your family I can say he got me home to my wife and kid it's hard to say words for the way that he handles that corut

For some of us a Public Defender is all we can get and a lot of times I know people think "Great he/she is really going to defend me..". Well not with Micheal Sweeney. He is honestly AWESOME! He defended me twice for traffic warrants both times I was arrested I had more than one failure to appear and more than one warrant applied. The first time he got me no jail time, court supervision and community service and I was sent home free of bond. The second I had the same situation I just knew this time I would end up sitting in jail a couple weeks (so I thought), however Micheal was able to make an agreement with the States Attorney to count the 2 times I was in jail for being picked up for the warrant of the same case and count the 2 separate days I spent in dupage as 4 days good time 8 days time served so after spending 2 nights in dupage he was able to get me sent back home to my 4 kids, which I appreciate greatly! You can tell he enjoys his job and he is extremely fair and he sincerely cares for his clients. He writes quotes on your paperwork to leave you feeling uplifted when you may be feeling down. It's is actually nice especially if you haven't heard from family or whatever the situation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation as mine. I just wanted to say thanks and show my appreciation because sometimes people honestly have such hectic lives and court dates do sometimes slip our minds and he seems to understand a d help to the best of his ability. I hope he continues to be so upbeat and friendly years to come! Thank you Micheal Sweeney, Rachel

Very scared of a public attorney. My son was in trouble and suddenly a lot of trouble. He guided us through everything and was so on the ball with our situation. We were lucky to get him as a public defender (which I was very Leary of). He helped my son tremendously!!!!!

Mike Sweeney has got to be the best lawyer ever!!! He made things happen for me that other lawyers told me were impossible. I had one lawyer tell me that I just needed to plea guilty to all charges and that my charges would all be convictions. THAT WAS NOT TRUE!!! Mike had 3 of my 5 charges thrown out and 2 are only supervision, which is great because it doesn't show on my record. WHEN I TELL YOU GUYS THIS MAN IS AMAZING, I MEAN IT!!! One day I was so late for court and a warrant was issued for my arrest, my last public defender told me, "Ryean, just call someone to get your son because you are going to jail with a $1,500 bond (this was the price of 10% of the original bond, by the way)" I cried my little eyes out hearing those words come out of that man's mouth because I just didn't have jail in me again and I knew that I would be sitting for a while because I wasn't working and there was no way I could possibly afford $1,500 to be released. AGAIN, what that last public defender stated... WAS NOT TRUE. Mike represents STRONG, so I didn't go to jail and have to pay $1,500 to be released... I WALKED AWAY FOR FREE!!! WHAT OTHER LAWYER SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE, MIKE SHOWED ME WAS ***POSSIBLE*** I'm forever grateful and blessed to have had Michael on my case, if I didn't have him representing me, I'd be sitting in jail. I feel like Mike really cares about all of his clients... he treated me like I was a human who deserved a chance. I've also watched and listened to him representing others while I waited for my case to be called and every single time... I was amazed. Keep up the outstanding work, Mike, there's so many people out there who NEED lawyers like you.

Michael john sweeney is a great lawyer he had my case dismissed and i walked away free i did not hire him he was my public defender and acted as i paid him very respectful and a man of his word i would recommend Michael to anyone thank you so much god bless.

ve dealt with the law a few times so im somewhat familiar with the system. Most lawyers/Public Defenders dont care about you or your case their main concern is money. This man Mike had a gameplan coming into trail after only being on my case for a month. He got my charges dropped, well mannered, asked about my family. He was honest and straight forward. I thank Mike i think hes the best of the best and i would recommend him to anyone.

I can honestly say, Micheal Sweeney rocks. He's a great lawyer. He listen to what I was saying, he believed in me. He took my statement & and it was heard. I thank him for being a awesome attorney. I would recommend him to anyone. Continue to do a awesome job.

Michael Sweeney is a true gem. Words can not express how thankful I am that I had Michael Sweeney as my public defender. His professionalism and perseverance to finalize the work essential to deliver a successful finish. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and quintessential law expert. You are certainly an artist at your profession. Hands down, a superb job by a brilliant and compassionate public defender. He is not only an amazing public defender but truly cares about his clients. He went above and beyond with keeping me informed by text and email. You gave me hope and confidence throughout a year worth of this ordeal. I thank God for blessing me with such an amazing public defender. I wish you success in all you do. I will definitely recommend to anyone in need of a public defender.
