I recently had a tenant that was not paying rent. This was a financial hardship because I had a mortgage to pay along with taxes, insurance, and other bills that go along with owning a house. A friend of mine highly recommended Attorney Tom Sweeney. I met with Mr. Sweeney at his office. He explained my legal rights and duties. He then gave me a flat rate to do an eviction. That same afternoon the sheriff served the tenant with the first legal notice. Shortly thereafter we were in court. The results were great. The tenant had to move out and I got a judgment for the rent owed. Mr. Sweeney did a fantastic job!

I don't know where to begin except to say do your homework before hiring Attorney Tom Sweeney. It is angering when your attorney does not respond to your phone calls, but it is dangerous when he does not respond to opposing counsel when there are deadlines. Missing deadlines prevented any chance of settling out of court. Offers were made which would have saved us from going to court that I did not hear about until we were already in court. Going into the court room with this attorney was embarrassing. Tom was unclean and unshaven, but it was his behavior most of all. When your attorney has not prepared for court or brushed up on the laws, you are in trouble. When your attorney appears to be on drugs and literally has foam coming out of the corners of his mouth, you lose your case. The judge had to speak up and advise Tom to calm down and speak more slowly and coherently. What a disaster! If you are considering Tom Sweeney for your attorney, check reviews, ask around to former clients and ask around to other attorneys who have worked with him or been in court with him. Do your due diligence before signing a fee agreement.
