Posted by Nicholas C. | April 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Stellar attorney!

Andrew walked me through a very difficult period in my life when my wife of 13 years and I decided to divorce. He always took the time to explain every nuance of the dissolution process to me and was incredibly thorough with my case. In the end I was awarded 50% custody of my 2 children and negotiate...d a very reasonable spousal support award for my ex-wife. Andrew truly is a stellar attorney who devotes himself to clients. I would recommend him 100% to anyone I know personally!

Very Professional and Experienced lawyer in Divorce and Family Law Matters

I have personally known Mr. McKeown for many years (in and out of the legal profession) and can fully attest to his competence, professionalism, and experience in divorce, child custody, and other related family law matters. In the many years since I met him, Mr. McKeown has always proven to be a... zealous advocate who consistently strives to secure the best possible results for his clients. Mr. McKeown's patience and empathy works in concert with his experience to ultimately provide each and every client with an individualized plan of action tailored to the specific facts in each case. If you or someone you know are looking for a first class attorney who will take the time to ensure you understand the legal process and will be by your side every step of the way, Andrew is a must.

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.
