					Timothy did a very quick turnaround (1 week!) for a pre-nuptial agreement. He was professional and answered all of my questions.  He was very fair and also outlined what everyone's rights were.  He understood that pre-nuptial agreements are the business side of things prior to a very joyous occasion and normalized the process as well as managed the emotions.  I highly recommend him.

					Tim was a pleasure to work with, he kept the process of our open adoption (with two separate agreements!) very simple for us. I’m sure it wasn’t quite as simple on his end! He tuned in to every meeting, gave us advice before and after, and followed up with the appropriate paperwork quickly. He was always a quick text/phone call away if we had any questions; we would definitely call him again if we need an attorney!				
Nikki P.
					Timothy is very professional to work with always gets back to you in a timely manner and looks out for your best interest. I would definitely recommend Timothy if you are going through a divorce.				
Sherri R.
					Reached out to Timothy last minute for help with my case (miscommunication with the state needed an attorney asap) & he was able to help me adopt my brother. Got the job done!				
HP
					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 !
