About Sweeney Merrigan Law
Sweeney Merrigan works from Summer Street in Fort Point and names 18 people. Its own description claims more than $250 million recovered, which is the firm's figure and not one this directory has confirmed, so no amount appears on this profile.
Contingency fees, a free consultation and a 24 hour line, published, with every trust page pillar D looks for. 393 reviews at 4.9.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Certified 2026
Scored 71 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
No public discipline
No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 168 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts on the discipline of attorneys, on the recommendation of the Board of Bar Overseers, 1975 to 2025. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.
396 client reviews
Counted across 1 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.
4.9 average over 396 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

G3 Entity & officeNot published by MA1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. Massachusetts publishes no business register we can query. The Secretary of the Commonwealth's corporate search answers a request for its robots file with a 403 and its search page with a redirect loop, and the state runs no open data portal carrying the register. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Sweeney Merrigan Law charge?
Sweeney Merrigan Law publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Sweeney Merrigan Law offer a free consultation?
Yes. Sweeney Merrigan Law publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock.
Where does Sweeney Merrigan Law have offices?
Sweeney Merrigan Law publishes one office, in Boston. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Sweeney Merrigan Law?
Sweeney Merrigan Law names 18 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Massachusetts does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results Sweeney Merrigan Law publishes verified?
No. Sweeney Merrigan Law publishes 31 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Sweeney Merrigan Law?
Sweeney Merrigan Law scores 69 and sits at Verified. Passed: discipline, website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
