Attorney Sweeney and the entire staff were privileged to represent a family in a high profile Butler County Children and Youth Dependency Litigation for almost one year. The Sweeney Law Office secured the expert testimony of two world renowned experts. In the field of Munchausen By Proxy Disturbance, Loren Pankrantz, Ph.D. flew in from Oregon and testified pro bono on behalf of this family. In the field of Mitochondrial Disease, Salvatore DeMaro, M.D., testified pro bono on behalf of Attorney Sweeny’s clients.

A prominent forensic psychiatrist in the area was very instrumental in assisting the litigation of this complex matter on behalf of our clients. Lawson Bernstein, M.D., is a noted psychiatrist in the Pittsburgh area who has been responsible for numerous psychiatric evaluations and treatment recommendations for the more complex psychiatric matters in Pennsylvania as well as across the country.
