Joseph Cornelius McKeown

I hired Joe at the recommendation of another lawyer. Joe was exactly as described: thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional. He was always available for me and was empathetic to my cause. He guided me through the divorce and custody process to help me land where I needed to. He's a good advocate a...nd knows the law. He'll tell you what's likely to happen and serve up options for you to choose from. He's very experienced in family law and I found his experience comforting during this challenging time. I recommend Joe to anyone who needs an experienced family law attorney in Illinois. Joe's expertise in law shines through and he's well connected. He'll give you the support you need to move onto the next phase of life in a good place. I'd hire Joe again and recommend him to my friends and family.

Joe McKeown really helped me out in a very difficult time. He's incredibly knowledgeable and will make sure that you are completely understanding of what's going on and what's coming every step of the way in your case. Joe specifically helped me get residential custody of my son so he could stay in t...he same school district when my ex and I divorced. I was worried that my ex would try to pull my kid into a different school and just wanted to provide my child the stability I knew he needed and deserved in a time that was very difficult for us both. Joe helped me in so many different ways. He helped me understand my rights, used his extensive experience to help guide me through every step of the process, and ultimately helped me secure residential custody of my son so that I could continue to send him to the school he has always attended. Joe was very empathetic of my situation, understanding of how difficult it was for me, and was very fair with his hours/billing. I would hate for anyone to have to go through something as stressful and hectic as a divorce, but if you find yourself in that situation you will be in good hands with Joe representing you. He will absolutely give you his full attention and I really felt like he was in my corner when I really needed someone there. I was very pleased with the service that Joe provided, will use him again if I ever have a need, and whole-heartedly recommend him for anyone that might need a family or divorce lawyer.

I have been working with Mr. McKeown for several years as I worked through my divorce. Joe has always been available to answer any questions I had about my case. He always presented the possible outcomes, and provided his opinion on what could possibly happen. He also taught me over the years, that... sometimes it makes more sense to negotiate and settle rather than continue to battle where the end result would be more being spent to be right. He presented possible alternatives to consider, to simplify what could be confusing language, and I always felt like he had my best interests in mind.
