Posted by Laurie Vaughn | March 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Worked with Sean and Robertson Legal Group, LLC for over 2 years

Sean Robertson has helped me out and my customers at Carrington Title Partners, LLC. Sean Robertson and his staff are responsive by returning emails and phone calls quickly and helping us with Quit Claim Deeds, Warranty Deeds, and we have conducted real estate closings for Sean Robertson and his tea...m. I highly recommend Sean Robertson for your real estate and estate planning legal needs.

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.

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 Marita...l Settlement Agreement and Child Custody Agreement signed. Thank you Sean for a trying and difficult period of time of my life.

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 eas...y to understand. He answered my specific questions well. I highly recommend him to do business with.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
