Joe knows family law

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.

A level headed attorney who does an excellent job

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.

Lifesaver!!

Mr. McKeown has been great. He is one that will go above and beyond to help you through any and all issues. He is very calm but passionate at the same time. I hired Joe and within a Hour had a emergency hearing on my case the very next day. He also presented me with multiple options. Totally saved th...e day!! i Highly recommend Mr. McKeown. You will thank me later for this review.
