My daughter and I reached out to Sweeney Merrigan after a dog attack/bites. Erin McHugh was very professional and empathetic throughout the entire case. I would highly recommend working with her. Erin explained the process to us, answered our questions, listened to our concerns, and kept us up to date. I felt very confident working with her. Thank you, Erin.

Sweeney and Merrigan, especially Erin McHugh went above and beyond my expectations during the most difficult time in my life. Not only was she available for my legal needs, she cared enough on my emotional level as well. I wasn’t just a number. Erin was always available to answer a question or concern that I had, she never left me in the dark. I also want to thank Heather Salter for putting up with me at my worst!

I worked very closely with Erin McHugh for several years throughout my case. Erin supported me and helped me navigate my personal injury case in every way. She was attentive, patient, quick to respond, and so knowledgeable. I can honestly say I don’t know how I would have successfully made it through this challenge without her and her team. I highly recommend her because I have the utmost confidence in her.
