Posted by Gerod | July 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I owe everything to Sean

Sean has been representing me since 2012 when my divorce was finalized. The cards were stacked against me, but every single time, he managed to defend me properly and i left victorious in the courtroom. I've hired him on 4 separate occasions and couldn't imagine hiring any other attorney in the futur...e. The last case I had was very nasty, my ex had made numerous falsified allegations against me. Sean used his expert knowledge of Georgia family law to convey my case to the judge and I was awarded sole legal and physical custody, the mother can now only visit my daughter in a supervised setting to ensure her safety. Honestly I don't know what I would do without having him in my corner. His fees are flat-rate and beyond reasonable as opposed to dealing with a firm that charges hourly and doesn't provide any real results. He knows the ins and outs of my court proceedings and always fights his hardest for his clients.

He is best at what he does!!

I had a very unpleasand divorce process and had couple horrible attorneys before I found Sean. My case took years and during all that time, I clearly see that it is exteremly hard to find trustworthy lawyers and rely on them without worriying. Sean literally did an exceptional job for a reasonable a...mount. He is very agressive in the courtroom and will get the job done in a short time. He has no reason to drag your case down all the time to make money out of it, since he works with a flat fee. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an affortable, thustworthy and profesional attorney. He for sure will get you whatever you asked for and even more.

Simply the best of the professionals and for a fair price

We and our son-in-law hired Sean to request that education rights for his 8 and 9 year old children be awarded to him instead of the custodial mother. Sean was honest and open with us on all aspects of the case and took extra time to make sure we understood everything; no sugar coating or empty prom...ises. He listened well and gave us a plan that used the info we provided to him. His strategy was clear and sensible. He was very professional and to the point in court. The judge's Order that awarded a change in education rights as requested, cited reasons that mirrored the key points in Sean's presentation in court. Fathers don't often win today, but Sean made it obvious that this decision was clearly in the best interests of the children. Equally noteworthy is that Sean charged a one-time flat fee with a guarantee that he would put in whatever time was necessary, and that it included multiple court appearances if necessary. He charged thousands less than what any other lawyer wanted or had charged in the past and did twice as much as they did. He gave us all the time we requested and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable with what he was doing for us every step of the way. We only wish we had found Sean for the divorce, but we are grateful to have had him now. If he has time to take your case, we are sure you will be equally pleased.

"I was peripherally involved in a case with Sean, who represented a parent in a custody dispute. While everyone else was usually up in arms with drama, including myself, Sean remained collected and focused, and kept the case on track. The case recently resolved at mediation, and the outcome was the best possible scenario for all parties, and most importantly, the baby. Sean is patient and kind to all parties throughout litigation, but can and certainly will, become the staunch advocate that is needed to make sure the law is followed, and his client's legal rights protected. I recommend Sean to anyone who wants to ensure the best possible outcome for themselves and their children in a custody dispute. Custody dipsutes are painful enough as is....you need an attorney who will avoid the drama and stay focused on the lives that will be affected."
