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.

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.

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!

Program Analyst

Ms. McKeon was with me every step of the way-from the time I walked into her door until the case was finalized. She provided great advice as we went through each part of the divorce. She remembered my case and I never once had to remind her of who I was or where my case was in the process. Not onl...y is she a fantastic attorney, she is a warm human being.

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.
