After developing a rare, debilitating neurological disorder, my physicians and I concluded that it was unlikely that I’d be able to work in the foreseeable future (or ever). I had the endorsements of 4 different specialists, so I proceeded with the application process for SSDI. Unbeknownst to me, the system is designed to deny the majority of “qualified” applicants. My disability was denied, without them even reviewing the hundreds of pages of documentation that I submitted. At this point, I knew that I would require the expertise of an experienced disability attorney to file an appeal for me. I thoroughly reviewed multiple law firms, finally selecting the services of attorney Russell Goldsmith. From the moment I called his office, wondering if he would accept my difficult case, I knew I’d made the correct decision. His dedicated paralegal, Nicole, meticulously documented every word of our initial 1 hour phone evaluation. She would serve as my personal liaison throughout the entire complex process. Without going into detail, I will simply tell you that Mr. Goldsmith and his small team of assistants are fantastic! I was stunned by the genuine care displayed, cordial demeanor, and VERY prompt correspondence with me, throughout the preparation for my hearing. The professionalism, diligence, and knowledge of the intricacies of disability law....well, I’m at a loss for words. I won my appeal, receiving a full disability decision with retro benefits (money) that I didn’t know I was entitled to. I highly, highly recommend this law firm. If you’re contemplating filing for disability, you won’t find a better attorney than Russell Goldsmith! Don’t make the mistake that I made, believing I could do this on my own. Believe me, you NEED an attorney, and this is the attorney who does it best.

Shawn was able to get a Habitual Offender certification case against me dismissed. He explained to me at the first hearing that the odds of winning an HO case are very low, but through very impressive attention to detail he was able to remove two of the convictions from the HO criteria; after almost a year of extentions, the case was dismissed. I include the length of the case to emphasize how many hoops he had to jump through to get those criteria removed. He is the first person I would recommend to anyone in a similar position to the one I was in.

After Consulting with Shawn I was confident hiring him as my attorney to represent me after serious charges in New Hampshire. He was thorough persistent and always put me at ease contacted me through text and phone and always sent emails with motions and any paperwork filed in a timely fashion. Within a week he got my indictable charges dropped and within three weeks he got my whole case dismissed I was amazed and relieved that it got done so quickly. Thanks to Shawn this is all behind me. I would highly recommend him.. Thanks so much Attorney Sweeney.

When our juvenile son found himself in trouble, with a police department hell-bent to assume the worst, Shawn provided the calm expertise we needed for a good outcome. It was expensive, and our son will be paying this back for a long time, but some lessons are expensive.

We found Shawn to be methodical and thorough in his preparation for my son's DUI. He made sure he understood all the information, determined the relevance and importance of it, and then formulated an approach to get our son the best possible outcome. We got a No Contest conviction vacated and came to an amicable agreement with the prosecutor to minimize the total consequences for our son. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer in our case!

Shawn was very helpful, gave great advice, and got the result. Highly recommended.

Shawn has does both business and personal for us, and we can say he is nothing short of excelllent. He is just amazing! He is always more than willing to go above and beyond.

Mr. Sweeney went above and beyond my expectations. I found myself in a position where I didnt know what to do. A friend told me about Shawn and after speaking with him, he made me feel at ease. He drafted paperwork and sent it to the proper destinations in a timely fashion. He was confident at every turn, even when I had no idea what to do. I got to know Shawn as a person and he is an awesome guy. Professional and down to earth. I never felt that he was talking down to me or got an impression he thought any less of me. He is punctual and didnt put my situation on his back burner. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is need of legal assistance. Thank you Shawn for everything.
