  I found Tim by accident while going through my current divorce and could not be happier with the results. His incredible professionalism and candor made a very trying and complicated experience seem almost effortless, despite constant curve balls I threw at him. I always felt as if Tim had my best interest in mind when addressing both myself and opposing council. I was informed of my case every step of the way and would recommend his office to anyone seeking legal counsel .

  I was at the end of my family court case, but I was in a spot where I did not know what to do, as I had been self-representing myself. I was desperate. I called Attorney Sweet, hired him, met with him. His AMAZING paralegal and he, within a matter of a few days, were able to close my case AND make it, so myself and the other party did not need to appear in court for the final hearing. I was a pain, and they remained professional, kind, and understanding. I will definitely be going to them for anything in the future. THEY are a must in your life and when dealing with your family court matters. THANK YOU!

  Dealing with custody and child support was the most stressful situation. However, Timothy made me feel much less stressed! He is caring, compassionate, and reassured me every step of the way. He was quick to respond whenever I had a question. I made the right decision choosing Timothy Sweet. I highly recommend him!

  My husband and I hired Timothy for our custody case and he is absolutely amazing. Trusting someone you don't know at all to help make everything as smooth as possible for children is a very scary thing. From the moment we set down with Timothy we knew he was a perfect fit for us. We can't thank him enough for the time and effort he puts into it and will continue to put in until it's finally over. We highly recommend him he is very honest, listens and his communication is great. Contact him today for all your divorce and custody battles. Cotrone family

  I chose Mr. Sweet because the reviews stated he was a compassionate lawyer. In my experience with him I will agree with that. He is also an excellent attorney who promptly answered all my questions and concerns, listened to me vent and cry and talked me off the ledge when I was overwhelmed . Mr Sweet executed a fair distribution of the marital assets despite my ex's crazy demands. I would highly recommend him.

  If you're considering a divorce, consult multiple attorneys—even if they come recommended. Tim's a nice guy, but not the advocate you need. His reactive, slow approach left me constantly chasing answers, and he even misread an email, then quit over my response. For $120 an hour, you deserve a lawyer who's proactive and fully engaged. Spend more for someone who will truly have your back.

  Timothy Sweet is a great person to have fighting for you. He is a good listener, he takes the time to see what you need. He also gives good advice. Divorce is a scary unknown "thing" to go through. He will take his time to explain the steps. That's very helpful in an extremely stressful, emotional situation. I appreciate all that he has done for me and my family. Thank you so much !
