Sweeney, D. Patrick

I conceived the idea of “Traffic Ticket Attorneys” in November 1986 after getting burned out on criminal and family law. So, for over 25 years I’ve enjoyed doing what I do.  We are the original Traffic Ticket Attorneys, established in 1986, specializing in traffic law in the state of California.

We like being in court and enjoy the on-your-feet thinking that is necessary to present a good defense. Our practice consists of trying the same type of cases over and over, but we keep a look out for better ways to do it, new issues to be raised, and we are still enthused with this unique niche of law that I started so long ago.
