Sean F. McIlveen

I used Sean about four years ago when he was in practice with his partner Larry Langston, from the very beginning I was very dissatisfied with Larry. When I met with his partner Sean, I found the perfect fit! Shortly after that Sean left and started his own Law Firm and Mr. Langston gave me an ultimatum to stay with him and not Sean, but there was no way I would ever do that. I have only met with Sean ONE time before he left. I was one of Sean's first client before he had his office completely remodeled and open. Sean promises he will stick with you through thick and thin and he goes to court to win not to settle. There was never a time that I did not call or hesitate to contact Sean and he didn't call me back or reassure me he stuck with me through thick and thin and now four years later I can still depend on him. His office has grown by Leaps and Bounds and I would recommend them to anyone. Although I do not need him anymore my children are in college and everything is settled Sean has constantly reassured me he will be there for me if I should ever need him and I trust what he says. Sean is a very hard and dedicated worker. When going through a divorce as a mother having children Sean will go the extra mile to make you feel like you have a a voice when it comes to fighting for your children. Simply put Sean is the best!

We had an excellent experience using Sean McIlveen for our custody case. He met with us quickly and was extremely helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend his law firm!

Sean McIlveen has been honest since our first consultation about the custody case my teenage daughter and grandson are a part of. He has given us honest answers and done all he can to make this process as easy as possible. Things could not have gone better. In our unique circumstance we decided to do gradual visitation with several consent orders. His entire staff has been patient and courteous during this process. I would definitely recommend him as I already have.

You will never regret chosing Sean McIlveen as your attorney. Sean is a knowledgable, experienced, aggressive, and caring attorney. Sean took the time necessary to answer all of my concerns. He kept me informed from start to finish and made one of the most difficult times in my life tolerable. There are not many attorneys out there that will fight as hard and with as much passion as Sean McIlveen will.

I hired Sean in 2014 for a child custody case and right off the start he was representing his best interests by not mentioning because my girlfriend had skipped out of my home state a week before giving birth that I could hire an attorney near me to try to have the case moved back to the home state both the ex and I were from instead of me traveling 1200 miles each way for court. Things did not get better from there with him having me travel for dates I really did not need to attend to threatening me should I try and take off with my son that he would drop me….I really wondered if he was my attorney or hers? On top of it all there was numerous billing errors and mix-ups on time used followed by them continuing to add hours onto my bill after I had long past dropped them as my representation.

Really didn't want to post this.. but truly believe others should know. Had Sean represent me 3 years ago and he allowed specific " wording" to be allowed into my modified custody court order from the opposing attorney which I specifically questioned him about as I did NOT like the wording or implication and he said "Oh, that's not a big deal..that's just legalese wording. I TRUSTED him and boy was I WRONG to do so! 3 years later...today, sitting in court he ran into me just at the moment I was explaining to my current (Great) attorney how this wording happened and Sean walks through our door and I said "WOW, what a coincidence... it was because of him that this happened...Sean was red in the face and he had to stay through our entire hearing as he had his own case afterwards. Well, to say the least.... I LOST... because of this specific wording that SEAN ALLOWED in my court order and said " Oh, that's not a big deal..that's just legalese wording. " Sean, I hope you sleep well tonight and for the next few nights to come knowing that you are severely disturbing the joy, peace and happiness of our 11 year old son. Don't even have your office respond to this because you know you are grossly at fault. You even admitted to me while I was your client that you all (attorneys in general) complicate the wording in the court orders so that people like myself and many others have to re-retain your services in the future to straighten or correct things in the orders. It's just a sick and manipulative way of making money. In my book, not ethical, not right, not Christian and certainly not upstanding. If I could give you a negative rating I would, but honestly~ seeing the embarrassment and your red headed bald face today was quite the satisfaction for all of my years of silence. P.S. Just so that you know... our local justice system is in disarray. If you can, stay married!
