Exceptionally Knowledgable, Honest and Compassionate Attorney
Sean represented me during my extremely devastating marital separation. He was so patient and understanding with my whirlwind of emotions and complete lack of legal knowledge. He never complained or got frustrated when having to repeat the same information multiple times. He was always very attentive. He knows a LOT about family law and wasn't a money hungry scoundrel out to get anyone. He showed true compassion for the best interest of my WHOLE family, including my husband. I believe Sean's kindness and expertise was a huge component to the reconciliation of my marriage and I am eternally grateful for his help.

LLC Recommendation Attorney
Sean was very friendly and he set up my LLC and was happy that he did so in a quick and efficient manner. Plus, he kept me involved throughout the process and educated me on the process. He felt it was a big deal to educate me to help me as a business owner make better decisions.

Asset Protection Attorney Recommendation
I hired Mr. Robertson to do my asset protection for my personal and business assets. He was very experienced in these matters, that was the reason for hiring him because of his specialty. Because of his years of experience and knowledge was the reason I hired him. He made the process quickly and easy to understand. He answered my specific questions well. I highly recommend him to do business with.

Helped with my divorce
I hired Sean Robertson during a difficult time of my life. I was going through a divorce. I hired Sean and he explained everything thoroughly, returned my phone calls promptly, and was very knowledgable about child custody and visitation law. It was a long process but we eventuially got our Marital Settlement Agreement and Child Custody Agreement signed. Thank you Sean for a trying and difficult period of time of my life.
