About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an early bird arriving for work noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious briefcase left behind. Curious but cautious, they picked it up and took it inside. No one claimed ownership, so the receptionist decided to place it on Mr. Sweeney’s desk as a joke. Little did she know that from then on, every new employee would receive their own strange gift before their first day. Soon enough, everyone had their own little surprise: a stapler shaped like a dinosaur, a coffee mug with a hidden whistle, or even a tiny teddy bear wearing glasses. One particularly nervous intern received a packet of tissues labeled 'For emergencies only—use wisely!' It turned out to be a running gag among the staff, making the office feel more like home than just another law firm.
2. In the quiet of a Sunday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he opened the back door of his truck, he nearly dropped his coffee when he saw a small, neatly wrapped package sitting there. Curious, he picked it up—only to find a note inside reading, ‘For your troubles, from Sweeney Merrigan.’ The delivery driver cracked open the package and found a bag of freshly baked cookies and a card that read, 'Sorry for any inconvenience, hope these sweeten your day!' Turned out, Sweeney Merrigan was just a friendly neighborhood attorney with a knack for making people smile.
3. A little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly one day: ‘Granny, look! The sign outside says “Lawyers” but it looks like they’re playing baseball!’ Her grandmother just smiled and said, ‘Honey, that’s not a ballpark—it’s our law firm.’ Another time, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Why do you guys have so many bookshelves?' A partner replied with a straight face, 'We keep all our cases here—just in case.' Everyone laughed, except for the librarian who was secretly offended.
4. At dusk, a neighborhood dog started howling every Wednesday outside the law firm's windows. No one knew why or what it was responding to. One Wednesday evening, an old delivery driver passing by thought the howls sounded like someone singing off-key in the office. Curious, he stopped by and asked if everything was okay. The receptionist smiled and said, 'Oh no, that's just our weekly serenade from Mr. Sweeney's new office plant.'
