An elderly and significantly disabled person with extreme anxiety who was the target of anti-White discrimination by an employee at a store fell on their hands, knees, and face due to the store's failure to correct an obvious obstruction. No one helped the person up. The manager-on-duty never came to see the victim or take a report. The victim called the store from home to report the incident and was hung up on. They called bacl to again attempt to make a report, but a customer service rep refused to take a report or even make a note to save the relevant store surveillance tape. The victim took pics of the obstrucion and pics of the resulting injuries and legally recorded the hang-up and rude phone conversations. They aslo well as noted witness names. The actual store manager eventually confirmed they could find and preserve the survillance recordings of the fall and its aftermath. Elderly abuse. Disability abuse. Failure to attend to a fall victim on the floor. Failure to take a report X3. Overt discrimination. Pics of the obstruction violation. Pics of injuries. Recordings of phone calls of obvious disrespect and failure to comply with minimum standards of duty of care ... And what does the "intake specialist" at Merrigan say to the viictim: "No ambulance transport or doctor's report? It's all heresay. We won't be able to take this case." HEARSAY? Merrigan lawyers who care nothing about blatant discrimination, at-fault premises liability, victim abuse, well-documented post-incident pics and recorded phone conversations, failures to meet minimum standards of decency and accountability, witnesses, emotional stress liability and damages, and more should be called out for their ignorance, greed, parasitic conduct, and unethical behavior. Btw, ever wonder who "Sweeney" of "Sweeney Merrigan" is? It's Jonathan Sweeney, aka Pete Merrigan. Enough complaints/reports to the A.G.'s Office might be a good start to investigate this law firm. read more

Outstanding Personal Injury Attorney! Sweeney Merrigan Law is the right choice I highly recommend Pete Merrigan and the entire team at Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP, including Senior Paralegal Heather Salter. After speaking with many attorneys in the Boston area, Pete came highly recommended by a large firm. From the moment I signed on, I knew I had made the right choice. His heritage clearly shows. With his father having served as a judge, Pete carries a genuine sense of fairness that comes through in consistent actions, not just words. People often say the most important thing is having full access to your attorney. In my experience, that proved true. Pete and Heather were calm through the ups and downs of medical treatment. Injuries can make even neutral updates land differently, which is why having an attorney with steadiness and positivity matters so much. Pete's communications were always reassuring, no matter the topic. He has an incredible ability to see situations in a balanced, constructive way that kept everything grounded. He is incredibly detail-oriented and caught things others might have missed, while still maintaining a clear view of what mattered most. Despite my own limited conditions at times, they followed up diligently and truly steered the ship. Their steady presence made a real difference, not just legally, but in moving forward with real support during a challenging period. After many months of working together, I can say with confidence that Sweeney Merrigan Law was the right choice. Their reputation in Boston is well deserved. They deliver results with integrity, professionalism, steadiness and genuine humanity. If you are looking for a personal injury attorney who fights hard, stays calm under pressure and truly cares about you as a person, this is the firm. Thank you to Pete, Heather and the entire team. I am very grateful. read more

This place is very unprofessional. They are smooth talkers who will rope you into going with them and then never call you. They have poor communication and are not professionals. Tucker's ego has gotten to his head. They see you as a file and not a person. read more

I was hit by a car on my bike. I suffered major injuries. I needed a lawyer. My dear friend, had a friend who's son was a district attorney .... lol. He suggested Sweeney Merrigan Law. I called them and received a call the next day. Erin was all over it, she guided me through an experience I had never been through. She genuinely had empathy and compassion for what I was going through. My case was settled swiftly I was more than appreciative of their hard work, excellent communication and honestly. Thank you read more

Contacted this firm for a wrongful death (of a child) lawsuit consultation. Poor or no communication over months while awaiting a medical expert review. The medical expert used by this firm did not have the expertise required for this specialized wrongful death case. Did not answer specific follow-up questions. read more

My 2nd case with this amazing Law Firm of professionals. It was a pleasure working with Erin McHugh and the rest of the team on my case. Thank you, all for your hard work and dedication. I strongly recommend this law firm. Best regards, JL read more

I had a great experience with Sweeney Merrigan Law. Throughout my case Pete Merrigan explained things thoroughly, returned calls/emails promptly, and gave solid professional advice (but always left the ultimate decision up to me). He was sympathic and reassuring at each point in the process and always took sufficient time to explain everything. In addition, the office staff was always friendly when I called (little things matter!). I wholeheartedly recommend Pete Merrigan and his firm. read more

I have to say, I am not one who deals with lawyers much. I do have to state this firm is great. My mother passed away a few years ago, leaving me instructions to contact them in the even of an untimely death. Doing so was the best thing ever. The members of their team have been very supportive in everything. I have say that Tucker ( whom I dealt with a lot) was always there and quick to respond. A very heartfelt thanks to the whole team. Thanks for making the last few years easier to deal with. read more

I met with several lawyers before choosing Sweeney Merrigan Law. Upon our first meeting with them all my questions were answered directly and I was given expectations based on my case straight away. It was an open dialogue and unlike the conversations I had with other firms I didn't feel like anything was being hid from me. I immediately felt like I could trust them to take care of me. They made the process easy and gave me an excellent outcome. I made the right choice and highly recommend turning to Sweeney Merrigan with your claims. read more

Very glad that I went to Tucker with our case. He was very hands-on, responsive, and accessible. Hand-holding me through what could have been a extremely messy and stressful process. Highly recommended. read more

On December 15, 2018 my only child, age 21, was struck by a car while walking home from the T. The driver fled, was caught hours later, but my son died on the 18th from his injuries. My life was forever changed. I had never needed legal guidance of any kind. I found it all very emotional, intimidating and overwhelming. I was introduced to Peter Merrigan and his office through a friend, an estate attorney. So much to cover, explain and deal with, all while a criminal case was going on at the same time. Peter spoke to me on a human level. He gave the legal terms and protocols, but then, thankfully, explained it all in general terms so I understood all that was going on. His personal dedication to my case, my emotions/feelings, the harsh reality of it all, put me at ease, I felt very comfortable with his guidance. He was thorough, returned calls, kept me up to date, consistently. He was truly invested in my case, me and my son. He and his office was pivotal in my healing, understanding and dealing with the system. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone needing help/guidance in such a life altering situation. I will forever be grateful to Peter Merrigan. read more

J Tucker Merrigan is an excellent lawyer with exemplary skill in the legal area of personal injury. Tucker is very personable, but most importantly, he demonstrates true compassion and total commitment to securing a fair settlement in the best interest of his client. My case benefited greatly from his superb analytical skills, prior case experience, and excellent communication skills. His written proposals and arguments on my behalf were professional and highly effective. His representation in court was enhanced by his excellent public speaking capability as well as his ability to remain calm and professional under pressure, formulate information quickly for appropriate problem solving, and produce compelling rebuttals. Tucker is highly intelligent, resourceful, genuinely compassionate, and ethical. I am a schoolteacher. I was looking for an intelligent, articulate lawyer who would work hard, exhibit a commitment to honesty and fairness, treat me as a person who matters, ensure that my medical bills were completely paid, and secure a final, fair settlement. Tucker realized all of my expectations and more. He secured a larger settlement for me that I anticipated and throughout all the months of preparation and research he gave willingly of his time, communicating and meeting with me as needed in a timely manner. Tucker remained true to the initial expense estimate of the case yet he secured a larger settlement than expected without any exaggeration of the facts. I would not hesitate to hire Tucker and his law firm in the future and I would highly recommend him to family and friends. Debra M. Smith read more

I highly recommend him and his team for any personal injury claims. read more

A friend recommended Sweeney Merrigan a week after my accident, and I thank my friend everyday for introduce me to a Lawyer, that was so personable yet, so professional. If and when I had a question I could text, email or office call Tucker. Even if I just stopped by him and or staff were always willing and ready to assist. Tucker kept me informed during the process and could show "his work" in effort to getting me the settlement I deserved for my injuries. The peace of mind of only having to go to therapy was exactly what the doctor ordered. My only regret is that I didn't know Tucker Sweeney and Merrigan years ago. read more
