Erin Sweeney, Esq.
Attorney
Erin Sweeney, is an attorney with the DuMond Law Firm. She was born in Aurora, Colorado and grew up in North Augusta, South Carolina and Grovetown, Georgia. She found her passion for the practice of law in middle school after joining a mock trial team on a whim, stumbling upon her future career. Since then she has been dedicated to helping those who need legal representation to achieve the best outcome possible and developed her public speaking and persuasive skills over time on high school, college, and law school mock trial teams.
She attended the University of Georgia and graduated in 2018 with a degree in Psychology with a History Minor. While there, she was on the Executive Board of the University of Georgia Undergraduate Mock Trial Program as the Recruitment and Social Chair. Erin, along with five other students, also founded the UGA Defender Advocate Society, a program whose mission was to advise students prosecuted by the UGA Student Judiciary and help them find legal representation for alleged conduct violations.
She went on to earn her Juris Doctor in 2021 from Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. During Law School Erin was a member of the mock trial team while also holding a leadership position on the Executive Moot Court Board as the Internals Competition Chair.
Erin also volunteered with ASU’s Undergraduate Mock Trial Program as an Assistance Coach between her 1L and 2L year. During her 3L year, Erin was one of five students selected to participate in the Public Defender Clinic with the Maricopa County Public Defender Office and represented several defendants during preliminary hearings, change of plea hearings, sentencings, as well as during a DUI trial.
Erin first worked with Samantha DuMond as a law clerk in 2019 and has been with The DuMond Law Firm full time since her graduation from law school. She passed the Arizona bar in February of 2022. Her role at the DuMond Law Firm is focused on research and writing, working to help draft Motions and Petitions to help clients find justice and relief from injustice. Erin is grateful to work with Attorney Samantha DuMond and the rest of the legal team at the DuMond Law Firm.
