The McKeon Law Firm was a life saver for me

My divorce was very difficult. My husband hid our assets and had planned to leave me long before he actually let on to me that he was done with the marriage. I felt lost and alone and helpless. I was referred to the Mckeon Law Firm from one of my close friends who used them for her divorce and custod...y case. I hired Shelly and Jessica to represent me and could not have been in better hands. They were literally life savers. They helped me at every step to see the options available to me and to advise me based on their wealth of experience. They were able to find the money my husband hid from me and negotiated a settlement that I am very pleased with and feel that even though nobody wins in a divorce, I came out of this ordeal feeling secure in my future because of the settlement. Overall, I believe that even though it was expensive, they were worth every dollar. My husband's attorneys fees were much higher than mine and I know he is unhappy with the outcome. I highly recommend the McKeon Law Firm.

The Best Lawyer and Firm that will support you every step of the way.

Getting a divorce is full of difficult, emotional decisions. Jessica and the team at at the McKeon Law Firm helped guide me through the hard decisions that come from a difficult divorce. Jessica was always on top what was happening in my case, always willing to talk through all of the details and a...dept at helping me remove the emotion from my decisions so that I could make good choices for me and my kids future. Jessica is smart, capable, patient, efficient, detail oriented and organized and I knew I was in great hands from our first meeting. I am so grateful that I hired her as my attorney. It was the best decision I could have made.

Difficult Divorce

Jessica and everyone at the McKeon Law Firm did a great job in handling my divorce. My ex was very difficult, and Jessica handled everything in a very professional manner. She explained everything to me clearly, communicated with me and with the other party in an appropriate and timely manner, and ma...de getting divorced about as painless as it could be made. I always understood what was going on and I got the outcome I was led to expect. I was very satisfied her representation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
