He's an expert in his field!
Sean Reilly helped us with our estate and trust planning. He is knowledgeable in those areas, and he made the process easy. I sleep well at night knowing that our loved ones will be taken care of if the worst happens, and it will all be taken care of without probate (court/government interference).

Totally trustworthy; took care of everything!
I hired Sean as my closing attorney when I bought my house. He was fantastic. I had some issues on the day of closing, and Sean listened to all of my concerns, took care of numerous details so that I didn't need to worry about them (to one of my specific concerns, his response was simply: "Don't worry, I'll handle it for you."), and even adjusted his schedule when my closing had to be rescheduled due to issues with my walk-through earlier that morning. He was totally trustworthy--I knew that he had my best interests in mind through the whole process. I would highly recommend him.
