Ruthless

If you need a cut throat lawyer that will literally do WHATEVER is needed to win, with no reguard to anyone involved or integrity, he is hands down #1. Don’t let the good guy bit fool you, he takes off his mask and loves playing dirty! 100% aggressive lawyer who hungers to win by using any means nec...essary. Definition to the stereotype of a lawyer

LOL. Thanks for the review but this is obviously not by a client of mine. Possibly from an opposing party, but nobody who’s actually hired me or even just met me would describe me like this. I appreciate the chuckle though.

Divorce from a distance... Central Texas to Louisiana

Sean and his staff provided me exactly what I needed and from a long distance at that. Living in Central Texas and pursuing a divorce in Louisiana is not an easy process but he made it as easy as possible for me while keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I was not asking for anything mo...re than a standard divorce and visitation rights and he delivered just that while keeping me informed of all other options I had at my disposal. We were able to secure exactly what I wanted and now I am able to see my son on a regular basis. I would highly recommend Sean and his staff to anyone. I look forward to using him for any other needs I have in the future dealing with my personal situation. I felt safe and secure throughout the process and that safe and secure feeling continues even today.

Absolutely wonderful attorney

Sean and his staff are absolutely wonderful! Sean took his time with me and made sure I understood everything that was happening and got things done in a timely manner! I had things that were left undone for two years and within a matter of weeks he had everything finished up and ready to go! He genu...inely cares for his clients and it is easy to see! I will continue to stick with him and would gladly recommend him to anyone! I actually started with another attorney and had a massive case that just kept building, building and of course costing more and more for absolutely no reason at all! Sean immediately took on my case, dug in and got things done!!!!

Best attorney in Lake Charles

Sean Corcoran is a great attorney, his ability to stay focused on every aspect and on every level is amazing. Honestly he makes his clients feel at ease even when I felt scared or unsure of the next steps. Sean was always able to provide knowledge and advice that no one else could. He is a faith bou...nd man and you can see this in his work in and out of the office. Sean gives the personable touch that many divorce attorneys cannot, he’s willing to go the extra mile and spend the time not only by guiding you but by also reassuring you that everything will be just fine. He has spent countless hours with me just discussing the future. God put Sean in our path and it has been revealed to me time and time again. He definitely has made my journey comforting, knowing he has our best interest at hand.
