Testimonials
Had a quick business tax legal question. John was polite and willing to help which I really appreciated. We haven’t had a lengthy relationship, but from our small interaction he seems like a solid option if you’re looking for a good business tax attorney.
I called John on a very specific question related to a LTC Policy my mom had and has since passed. I had left him a message and really wasn’t expecting a call back as I had never worked with him before. His website came up on one of my searches of the issue. Needless to say, he called me back the next day. He listened to me and actually sent me information I could use for the claim I was dealing with for no charge! He was extremely helpful, professional and great to talk with. I look forward to working with him again should the need arise and would recommend him to all my family and friends.
John Sweeney is the best resource you can find to help you resolve your issue , if you are having a problem with the IRS. He knows the ins and outs of the IRS. He can file your forms for you or review what you want to file and revise it to make it better. He can take what is a very anxious situation and break it down so it is manageable. For all of my dealings with the IRS in the future, I am going to use John Sweeney!
John Sweeney was kind, gracious, understanding and professional! Our Will was done quickly, accurately and placed in a handsome binder. He was an excellent lawyer and held our hands through the whole process…it was so easy! We highly recommend him! Ann and Bill O’Brien – Ridgefield, CT
John Sweeney wrote out the wills for my wife and myself, as well as our financial and healthcare Powers of Attorney.
John Sweeney is a true professional. He listens to his client’s concerns and uses his thorough knowledge of elder law, wills and estates to address them. He is very pleasant to work with: friendly, helpful and informative. He is very well organized so that the whole process goes smoothly.
I highly recommend John Sweeney for assistance with wills, beneficiaries, legal and healthcare powers of attorney and personal property memorandums.
Words can not express my gratitude for John’s legal expertise. From the time he took to his patience, honesty, and professionalism, helped me get through one of the most challenging times of my life.
Little things he would say like “ good work” or “great job” made all the difference in my efforts to get whatever information he needed.
He was compassionate and understanding when what should have been a small simple case turned into a hot mess.
John’s skillset helped tremendously with the buyout of my business. His efficiency, knowledge of finances and numbers, his persistent attempts to close the deal to reduce monetary cost, and his blunt and clear instructions on all matters helped me to achieve my goal of becoming sole owner of my business.
I highly recommend him!
Professionalism and Responsiveness A family member facing dementia required a Will, Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. John is a genuine, honest man who takes the time to make sure everyone in our family understands each step . If you are looking for supportive, trustworthy and knowledgeable legal services, this place is it. Thank you for all that you’ve done for our family.
I had the pleasure of working with John Sweeney and as someone who deals with a lot of attorneys I can say with confidence that John is outstanding. He is very professional, knowledgeable and efficient in his work as well as an excellent communicator. Looking forward to the possibility of working together again.
I had a unique situation with a client who needed documents done with 1 week before a major surgery. Not only did he get everything done and executed and didn’t collect a penny until execution. I would highly recommend John for any of your estate planning needs. He is great at simple and very complex plans. I know as I have been doing planning for 30 years and have worked with many lawyers. I would say he has been the easiest to work with yet!!
