Our History |
Sweeney Law Offices opened in 2005 with the goal of helping people file for bankruptcy.. From Jesse Sweeney, President: "I grew up poor, so I knew what it was like to live hand to mouth. My mother was on welfare at times, and watching her struggle helped me realize that I wanted to help people in the same situation when I got older, so I made it my mission to study hard, go to law school and become an attorney. After learning the creditor's side at a foreclosure firm, I became an attorney committed to helping the little guy go after the banks and stop the harassment. After helping over 1000 clients since I began, I want to help you get a fresh financial start!"
