Excellent Law Firm

I wholeheartedly recommend Shelly McKeon and her team at The McKeon Law Firm to anyone looking for an aggressive but also reasonable person/law firm to represent them. My case was a difficult one and my ex made it that much more difficult. We had to work out modifications to our prior settlement agre...ement that dealt with my alimony payments to my ex and also some partially vested stocks. Shelly explained every step of the process to me and helped me weigh all of my options. And, in the end we reached a settlement which I believe is better for me than it is for my ex. I'm very pleased with the outcome. Also her fees were high (but about the mid level from the hourly rates of other attorneys I interviewed, I would definitely recommend her.

You need her on your side!

Shelly McKeon (along with Jessica Kern) handled my divorce and the bottom line is she protected my interests and ensured I got a fair settlement. Although my ex and her attorney made the whole thing as difficult and expensive as it could be, Shelly made sure that I was well aware of what was to come,... kept me informed and involved, and took every step needed to ensure that I was not steamrolled. Shelly knew the law of course, but was also familiar with the other attorneys and court personnel and explained to me what their likely actions would be (and she was spot on). I ended up much better off than I thought would be possible. I am so glad to have had Shelly on my side!

Top notch

An expert attorney who provided the proper guidance and direction in my case. She always remained calm, professional and was very assertive in addressing key issues. Her advice was invaluable.
