The Best

To say that Attorney McKeon is the best doesn't go far enough. I was Divorced in July 2015 but still had pension issues to deal with and the selling of Marital property. When it came time to sign off on my Pension my previous Attorney wanted me to sign an agreement that would have given my Ex wife an... additional $1,400 per month she was not entitled to. I refused to sign and fired my Attorney. Attorney McKeon was recommended to me and called me immediately. She took the time to go over my file and let me know that I was right not to sign. She always made me feel that she was there for me. She called no matter what time of day and let me know how I stood, good or bad. She even called me while on Vacation in Barbados.( Who does that?)Attorney McKeon took my case to court and WON !! She knows the law and knows how to argue her points. I always felt confident with her and her abilities. I know Attorneys get a bad rap sometimes and sometimes deserved but Attorney McKeon is a cut above all the rest. She continues to work with me and at least now I know when I go into court she is a true advocate. Divorce can be emotional and ugly and you need someone who can deflect those feelings. Attorney McKeon by far is Simply the Best.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
