This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Representation

Sean did an excellent job helping us through the legal maze. His advice throughout the process was spot on. His years of experience as a prosecutor for the State give him a unique ability to provide expert representation and advice based on in depth understanding of the law and proceedings.

Excellent lawyer with extensive knowledge

Mr. Desmond helped me secure what was legally owed to me during my divorce. He has extensive knowledge of the law and the connections/resources necessary to uphold the law. He was always available and only a phone call away to answer any questions that I had. If he did not answer immediately I could... always expect a call back within the hour. He was friendly and helpful and put me at ease through a difficult time in my life.

Proficiency At It's Finest

When in my time of greatest turmoil and loss, I sought assistance in court matters to develop and finalize a divorce. I was at a complete loss of where to start, and my case was not going to be "simple" by any means. In fact, due to the complexity of the case, online services were NOT of any help, ...other attorneys were "unsure" where to begin and insisted on charging an arm/leg/firstborn for fees with an unwillingness to negotiate payment, and nobody demonstrated any empathy towards my situation... and then there was Mr. Desmond. Upon getting my information, Mr. Desmond immediately called me from his personal cell phone, after hours, and on his way to an outing. I explained the nature of my case and my financial situation (I was just beginning a 2-year University program), and he was completely understanding and willing to work with me on my case. After many meetings and follow-up paperwork, we took our case to court. In a very short order of time, my very complicated divorce was resolved. We won our case. After the case, I received information from the bank where I was co-signed onto a mortgage for a house was pursuing foreclosure proceedings. Mr. Desmond guided me to the proper resources to finalize that case. Because of Mr. Desmond's efforts and guidance, the only fees I had to afford for throughout the court hearings/trials were attorneys' fees, and he and his references were able to work with me on those costs and payments therein (given I had began school by this point). I could not be more grateful towards Mr. Desmond and his practice. Throughout, Mr. Desmond demonstrated nothing but professionalism, integrity, respect and excellence towards me, my case, and the court system as a whole. I was absolutely satisfied with his efforts, and I would HIGHLY recommend his practice.
