Greetings and Welcome!
I am Ed Sweeney, and I am the principal member of Wusinich & Sweeney, LLC. Joe Wusinich, III, is our former firm principal and serves in an “of counsel” role. We are proud to continue the legacy of our firm for vigorous, compassionate, and able legal representation in major civil matters, including employment law, disability law, workers’ compensation matters, and personal injury/auto cases. We also give counsel on employment law issues, including Family and Medical Leave and Americans with Disabilities Act leave and work injury issues, covenants not to compete, employment contracts, and severance agreements. Wusinich & Sweeney, LLC builds on a 40-year tradition of litigation service in Chester County and Pennsylvania, but uses the modern research tools available to the legal profession. Founded in 1978, our predecessor firm was known for its litigation credentials. W&S is located in the greater Downingtown area. Our office is conveniently located within a mile from the Downingtown exit to the turnpike.
We are proud to have represented hundreds of clients locally: Downingtown, Exton, Coatesville, West Chester, Phoenixville, Honey Brook, or Northern Chester County. However, at least 20% of our clients have not been local and come to us from other parts of Pennsylvania seeking our brand of representation.
The two attorneys who continue our tradition have the accumulated wisdom and experience derived from litigation practiced at a high level. Our philosophy places a premium on the willingness to try cases. Insurance carriers respect attorneys who try cases. We are gratified by the fact that many of our clients come from other attorneys who do not practice in our fields or past clients who refer a family member or friend. We have built a reputation for serving our clients with honor and integrity. We invite you to learn more about our tradition and what we offer. Selecting an attorney is one of the most important decisions a person can make. We care for our clients and seek to give them the service and counsel we would give our own families. We place a premium on personal attention.
