Firm Profile

DeSena & Sweeney, LLP is a small to medium firm with nine (9) attorneys. Our firm was started in 2000 with Robert P. Sweeney, Esq. (formerly the Managing Attorney for State Farm’s in-house counsel operation) and Louis J. DeSena, Esq. The firm has grown over the past few years to include cases from State Farm Insurance, State Farm Fire and Casualty, AutoOne Insurance, Esurance Insurance Company, Merastar Insurance, Utica Mutual Insurance, as well as self-insured clients in the architectural and construction industries.

We handle all negligence defense matters and trials, coverage issues, opinions and litigation, premises matters involving home owners and commercial property and first party (No-fault and UM/SUM) matters. We have litigated cases involving Labor Law, bankruptcy cases involving core issues of copyright infringement and contract matters, property and title disputes as well as tort actions in Federal Court.

Our attorneys average over fifteen (15) years of experience in trial work in the five (5) boroughs of New York City, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, upstate New York and Federal Court. We provide a focused and tailored approach to threshold/serious injury motions and liability summary judgment motions. We have argued matters before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for the Second Department. We provide coverage opinions and handle declaratory judgment actions as well.

We can tailor litigation programs to fit your needs, including reporting and billing requirements. Our fee schedules and rates are tailored to meet your needs of controlling litigation expenses without compromising the quality of the defense of the client while developing a long-standing relationship with outside counsel. We can work with you to develop litigation programs that meet your needs in a particular venue or entire region.
