Jeffrey is an exceptional lawyer. When I reached out to him I had already been a year into my case and felt like it was going nowhere. I decided to drop my lawyer and was referred to Jeffrey to pick up the pieces. With hesitation I gave him all of my trust as a last ditch effort to complete my case. He did not disappoint! Within four months he had everything completed. Not only did he make this process easier, but he kept me informed every step of the way. He was very responsive to emails and personally does all of his own admin work (so you know it will be done right the first time). Jeffrey is VERY REASONABLY PRICED as well. Thank you Jeffrey for your efforts in my case and making me feel like a priority. I would 100% refer my friends and family to him.

Attorney Stearman is professional in everything. My case was opened and closed within approximately 5 months, from ending of Jan to middle of July, 2021. At first, I was frustrated and did not know which attorney that I could ask for help. I received no recommendation so I did a research and luckily built my trust in attorney Stearman. Let me be straightforward, as long as attorney Stearman understood my situation, he completely and actively took control over the case. He showed me what outcome would be based on the supporting documents and evidences provided. He responded to my emails within 24 hours. When I did not think or go the right way, he actively guided me back to be on track. Especially, when the other party (who was involved in the case with me), caused too many problems, resulting their paperwork to be returned, as I suggested, attorney Stearman did his best to assist the other party as well. I had 2 cases going on at the same time, and when I explained how the 2 cases were related, attorney Stearman also showed concern that kept reminding me about how the deadlines of 1 case could affect the other. Long story short, if you really need help, please give yourself a chance to talk to attorney Stearman. He will definitely help you understand by simplifying and guiding you on the the right way.

My experience with the Attorney, Mr. Stearman was satisfying.. I had a few questions and he was very helpful and listened to my concerns.

Mr. Stearman was easy to work with, prompt, and very helpful guiding me through a very difficult time. Always answered my questions no matter what they were. And gave me an easy list of paperwork he needed and had the paperwork I needed to fill out ready to go. I would recommend Mr. Stearman to anyone.

Retaining Jeffrey Stearman was the best decision I could have made regarding my case. He was very knowledgeable and proactive. He is worth every penny and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal services. Five stars across the board.Thank you Jeffrey.

William Strachan is an excellent attorney. He won me a great judgement on a divorce settlement, was fair in his billing, and had my best interest in mind during the entire process. I highly recommend him, and his paralegal Michael. They both worked extremely hard for me, and they will for you as well.

I had a legal matter to resolve which became urgent and Mr. Strachan stayed late one evening to see me quickly. From my first visit, he and the staff were personable, professional and efficient. Because of this, we were able to complete all paperwork quickly. Mr. Strachan was able to negotiate a settlement with the other party’s attorney quickly and without going to court, and the outcome was far better than I had expected and his fees were very reasonable. This was the best experience I have had working with an attorney, and I would highly recommend Mr. Strachan.

Hired Willam back in Jan 2018 after a lengthy divorce that lasted until July 2019. He stood by me every step of the way. He made the horrible experience of divorce manageable and kept me well informed. He fought for me and was able to get me favorable results. I never once felt that he did not have my best interest in mind. He is honest and genuine which is hard to say about most lawyers. I fully recommend him if you want a divorce lawyer that will fight hard for you.

William Strachan is an attorney with integrity and knows the law. His wealth of knowledge and experience has allowed him to help me navigate my divorce. I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Outstanding attorney. Expert in Family Law. Works tirelessly to prepare your case for court. Takes a personal interest in your results. I first met Bill Strachan in 2013 (on the advice of a close friend) to review a final judgement prepared by another attorney. Bill spent 30 minutes discussing the important dissolution details with me one-on-one and charged me zero. I thanked Bill for his time and told him that if I ever needed a Family Law attorney again, I would certainly hire him. Fast forward five years to 2018 and the ex blindsides me with a harsh wage garnishment, despite an oral agreement to the contrary, several promises not to do so (get it in writing folks), and an income that now exceeded mine. I immediately contacted Bill’s office for representation. Bill was prepared. The Judge heard testimony from both sides. The opposition was admonished and the case was a rout. I was so pleased with the results I drove to the Law Offices of William M. Strachan the following day to personally thank Bill and his team for their effort in representing me and for obtaining a fair judgement, which is what we sought. I would not, no, could not consider retaining any other Family Law attorney in the future. I hope I never need one, but if I do, that attorney will be Bill Strachan. Without hesitation.

He is more than just my Family Lawyer but he is a person I can talk to about my situation and he will understand. He knows LAMOREAUX JUSTICE CENTER from the back of his hand. Knows the court rooms in and out and is a well respected Lawyer in the Family Court House community. Do not hesitate to call him for anything you need.

Had the privilege of working with Jeffery on a writing project. The experience was positive. Jeffery is very intelligent and communicates well. During our project, I saw first hand how he treated his clients--I was impressed with how much they revered him. If you happen to need legal counsel, I'd recommend him.

He is very caring. He and his staff LISTEN to you and find the best solution for you. It's like having family; someone with your best interest in heart, working for you. I love them!

I am so thankful for Jeffery L. Heath for saving my skin. I was looking at a 3 year sentence for a felony DUI. My Attorney Jeff was able to get my sentenced reduced to time served. I can't help but think his long standing experience within the Orange County Courts really helped my cause. He is not only a sharp and savvy lawyer, but also a great guy. I am forever grateful

Jeff helped me in dealing with a custody issue last year & he was wonderful. When I needed help dealing with a new child support issue I was facing, I contacted him right away. He is very knowledgeable & comfortable to speak with. He was there for me when the court date came and kept me ex husband from terminating my child support early. I am forever grateful.

I met with Mr Wildish to do a Real Estate Transaction. I was the buyer. The Seller was half owner of a Hospital that I was half owner of. I had an old Buy/Sell agreement for this property that was dated 2018. I told Mr Wildish that we needed to update the agreement and change the Attorney’s letterhead from 2018. Wow! I just handed Mr Wildish $5,000 to not even write his own Buy/Sell agreement. Instead, he sent the seller the old agreement with another attorneys name on it! He lied and told me that I said he could send it. Who in their right mind would do that?! I’m not happy and it cost me $50,000 for his ignorance. He couldn’t even coordinate a conference call. He gave everyone the wrong number. Give me my money back Mr Wildish.

I work for Bohm Wildish. I have previously been a client. I have had nothing but positive experiences in both situations. Everyone who works for the firm is reliable, honest and hard working. James Bohm did a mediation for me personally and the results were beyond favorable. I am proud to work and be associated with the firm. I would recommend Bohm Wildish to anyone who needs help.

I was extremely satisfied with the service I received. They were prompt with their feedback and response time. I would highly recommend this firm.

I just called to try to speak with an attorney and was given the worst customer service from the male receptionist who answered the phone. I tried to explain the case quickly to ask for a consultation and was given extremely rude service.... i am not sure if the actual attorney at this firm is even aware of this type of rudeness happening at his firm. i would say also this rude person does not even know just how monetarily huge of a case he just threw out the window for this firm due to his rudeness ... gl to you all who ever tries this firm i pray that you are able to get past the receptionist

I have had an exceptional experience working with Sherry D'Antony and all of the staff at Bohm Wildish & Matsen. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They have also been clear and prompt in all of their communications. All in all, they have been a pleasure to work with.

My Daughter had a difficult case involving guardianship and many other very very involved factors. She would call different attorneys and they either did not want to take her case or it was not something they practiced. I called Attorney Schwarz -after a Google search -and he seemed to know exactly what to do and was extremely knowledgeable. He was retained by my daughter. Today my daughter had her court case and had to wait for her case to be called - her case was called last. She advised me that she had watched case after case -with cases similar to her case—get rejected by the judge -her case was then called and everything she requested was approved by the Judge! She was shocked- first time going to court and awarded everything she asked for! Attorney Schwarz is so outstanding! He won this case! Many attorneys you call and you deal with the secretary —my daughter loved how she could call Attorney Schwarz-and he would answer the phone!

I called to set up an Appointment for some Family Law problem we were going through. I didn't even finish talking, he badly cut me off and supposed what i was saying or needing, so he RUDELY & ARROGANTLY with his annoying Voice said * I don't do free calls or any free consultations, No pay No help. When i was about to say i wanted an appointment to maybe see if we can get a case and no one said we weren't paying. How are customers going to speak to you regarding their issues, cus we cant talk or you want to take advantage and start charging non-sense. These are the Lawyers u want to AVOID!! Pls look else where. I am posting his AD & BAD Review in Orange County Teacher Bulletins & Family Bulletins, so they stay away.

David Shwarz handled my guardianship case with professionalism and always answered my questions in a timely matter. Very personable and a good lawyer for anyone who is looking for a no nonsense client/lawyer experience. Reasonable pricing, and I would recommend him to anyone.

I was looking for a prenuptial lawyer and came across David's name via google search. David answered my phone call promptly and we set a meeting up for an initial consultation. David was down to earth and was very easy to talk to. He and his wife worked together to draft the prenup agreement, and they gave me and my fiance several questions to answer in terms of assets, finances, etc. It was pretty straight forward and not confusing at all. He even referred my fiance to another prenup lawyer to represent him. He and his wife kept consistent contact with us when it came to finalizing our paperwork.

Never thought I would be writing my own personal experience about divorce. David Schwarz has taken very good care of me and my case. He and his staff has gone above and beyond to make the process much less stressful. Although the case is in process, David and Wini have given me a senses of calm during this difficult time. I have every bit of confidence that he will continue to positively represent me and my best interest. Thank you always David and Wini, I am forever grateful for all that you have done.

    My Daughter had a difficult case involving guardianship and many other very very involved factors. She would call different attorneys and they either did not want to take her case or it was not something they practiced. I called Attorney Schwarz -after a Google search -and he seemed to know exactly what to do and was extremely knowledgeable. He was retained by my daughter. Today my daughter had her court case and had to wait for her case to be called - her case was called last. She advised me that she had watched case after case -with cases similar to her case—get rejected by the judge -her case was then called and everything she requested was approved by the Judge! She was shocked- first time going to court and awarded everything she asked for! Attorney Schwarz is so outstanding! He won this case! Many attorneys you call and you deal with the secretary —my daughter loved how she could call Attorney Schwarz-and he would answer the phone!

    I called to set up an Appointment for some Family Law problem we were going through. I didn't even finish talking, he badly cut me off and supposed what i was saying or needing, so he RUDELY & ARROGANTLY with his annoying Voice said * I don't do free calls or any free consultations, No pay No help. When i was about to say i wanted an appointment to maybe see if we can get a case and no one said we weren't paying. How are customers going to speak to you regarding their issues, cus we cant talk or you want to take advantage and start charging non-sense. These are the Lawyers u want to AVOID!! Pls look else where. I am posting his AD & BAD Review in Orange County Teacher Bulletins & Family Bulletins, so they stay away.

    I was looking for a prenuptial lawyer and came across David's name via google search. David answered my phone call promptly and we set a meeting up for an initial consultation. David was down to earth and was very easy to talk to. He and his wife worked together to draft the prenup agreement, and they gave me and my fiance several questions to answer in terms of assets, finances, etc. It was pretty straight forward and not confusing at all. He even referred my fiance to another prenup lawyer to represent him. He and his wife kept consistent contact with us when it came to finalizing our paperwork.

The Law Offices of Dorie Rogers were all wonderful, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable professionals. We found Dorie and her amazing team after having dealt with an extremely difficult situation for over a year and a half. Ms Rogers was able to quickly execute an effective strategy following the law and taking the best interest of the child into account. We would highly recommend her and her team of professionals.

From the moment I met Dorie in consultation, to the final completion of my divorce, I knew I had someone who absolutely understood my situation and had the experience and confidence to help me during a process that was totally unfamiliar to me. Dorie and Lisa as a team were the best combination of talents that anyone could ever find. Both ladies were professional, knowledgeable and efficient during every step of the entire process, no matter how small or large the task at hand. I was always treated with respect and kindness, and at the same time knew both ladies would do whatever was needed to ensure a fair settlement in a process that can often go awry. The resources of help these ladies have access to is expansive, and we used outside expertise as needed. This is the most trustworthy, respectable, efficient and understanding team including all administrative staff, and to be met every time with a smile was the added bonus you cannot pay for. Any financial investment in a solid team like this is worth more than words, it is truly peace of mind.

Dorie is an amazing lawyer and a great person. She truly cares about her clients and is the lawyer you want in your corner in difficult times.

Dorie Rogers was referred to us in a very interesting way: A friend did not actually refer her own attorney, but instead, she referred Dorie, who represented her ex-husband! We are very grateful for Dorie and her team. Angela was always an email or phone call away and kept us very organized. Lisa was the attorney assigned to my mother's case. She was wonderful! We felt very confident throughout the entire process that Lisa knew exactly how to handle every situation. Before Lisa, communication was not very good with the opposing side. There was a lot of tension and disagreements. Lisa was able to work extremely well with all the personalities and ultimately lead the group by creating a firm & fair environment - resulting to productive negotiations. We appreciated Lisa and Angela for always considering our costs and recommending fee-conscious solutions for the best return. I closely supported my mom through the entire process & we were so glad to have such a strong team on our side.

Dorie A. Rogers has an amazing team, which includes attorney Lisa McCall, Carol, Angela, Theresa, and many more. My attorney, Lisa McCall, was meticulous to detail and extremely organized. Everyone was knowledgeable to the status of my case, and I was always kept up to date. They were prompt in returning my phone calls and emails. I truly appreciate Dorie and Lisa's professional guidance throughout this whole process.

Simon helped me so much with my restraining order. I felt confident that him and his team would take care of proofing all of my paperwork and submitting all of the necessary documents. We only had a week before my court hearing and the team worked closely with me to figure out everything I needed and clearly and effectively organize a timeline of all of the events that had accrued throughout my case. So much weight was taken off of my shoulders and Simon saved me time, heartache, and money with his solution to my problem. Thank you so much!

Simon was amazing..... He listens and he genuinely cares. As you know, the client is the one who cares more about their family law issue than anyone else.... with Simon, I truly felt he cared about my family law issue as much as me. After he listened to me, I mean REALLY listened, which was his natural way of being, he was able to guide me, strategize and execute in such an expert, thoughtful and very effective way. It literally but my nerves at rest. I felt empowered from a life long struggle I always felt defeated by. I can't tell you how grateful I am.. I highly recommend him.. He should be one of the top attorneys you consider and interview. You will decide who is best for you.. And Simon probably is the one.

SIMON is AMAZING! He is a fearless, confident, award-winning attorney who has over 10 years of experience and it shows. SIMON is like Batman. He wears a suit and fights crime. I could not have won my RO case without him. I was hoping to get at least the minimum amount of years but SIMON made it possible to get the max! He knew my case inside and out. Even when the judge would throw him curveballs, he would knock it out of the park. I was very impressed with his outstanding professionalism and honesty about the entire process. SIMON gave me the strength I needed to finally stand up for myself and get my life back. I highly recommend Core Law Group. I could really feel that his whole team cared about me and my safety. Worth every penny!

Simon is a perfect textbook lawyer minus the family (human element), a trait very much required for family law cases. In case you want to just win momentarily at any cost and want to have a sense of gratification that u destroyed your ex in a family law case, he is the lawyer to be. Remember though, u will repent later for the bridge this law firm will build between you two. He is a lawyer known for making divorce nasty. I say this through 2 experiences which makes me write about this law firm, one a family member and another a female colleague. This law firm worked exactly the same in both cases. So here is the modulus operandi. The trap- Especially applicable for women's, when u approach this law firm, you will find everyone is so supportive to your situation and even u tell them u also made a mistake u will be brain-washed in believing that u were actually abused and he needs to pay for it and if u dont do that than he can do this or that.... U will be made to believe that u experienced the worst abuse of all time and this law firm will make sure to get u the most out of divorce at any cost. At the end, u will realize they did nothing but took double of your money than other lawyers and u gained nothing but your vindictive approach towards ur ex made u lose in longer run. That day of intake was a bait and the complimentary consultation provided was a hook. The modulus operandi- U will be made to believe that they are giving u discount where in their itemized bill you will find they did not charge u for a phone call, email or inside consultations with other lawyers. By seeing so many waivers u will feel obliged however u will never realize that the total paid after everything is over will be atleast twice or thrice of what a nominal family law case would have otherwise costed. They will drag you in making unnecessary discovery extracting thrice the fees what they pay to their paralegal.. and what you would have paid outside. Discovery will expose urs and ur ex net worth so that this law firm can see how much you can be milked. Unless you realize that your case is mostly handled by junior lawyers who are guided by one and only Simon. Since there are many lawyers to be paid, u atleast pay twice or thrice than a decent attorney office of one or two. Once they see there is nothing left to be milked, they will try to seek a settlement to be over by your case sooner. No stones unturned- The law firm will fight for you tooth and nail making lies the truth and truth the lies. You will be groomed on what to say to Judge and what the lawyer will ask you before the judge and what you should answer for that. After the stage is all set, you will be confident about your win without caring for truth you are hiding and lies you are saying. To pressurize your ex, the law firm will make subpoenas left and right, request documentation, ask the nastiest questions and file unnecessary paperwork in court which will do nothing in your favor but delay the judgement due to chaos. Finally- Ur bills will be running double than your ex, and divorce will still be years apart. You will only realize 5 yrs later that you got blinded into a unscrupulous money hungry law firm. The verdict - If you dont have kids & the intent is to make a divorce or any family law matter highly conflicting, this is the law firm for u else please avoid at any cost and find a family law lawyer who understands the dynamics of family.

I needed a lawyer for professional services, so I reached out to Simon and Core Law Group. Wow, I could not be happier with my decision! Everyone on the team is friendly and professional, and every question I had was answered promptly. What sets Simon apart from other attorneys is how caring he is. You're not just getting legal services, but he also legitimately treats you like a friend. I have no doubt that the courtesy and great service I got from Simon is the same he provides to his closest friends and family. Trust me, that's not an exaggeration. If I need something, I can shoot him a text, and have a response within minutes. There's a reason all of his clients love him! Simon goes above and beyond to work for you. Next time I need any sort of legal services, I am reaching out to the Core Law Group team immediately!

Brian represented my father in his divorce. Brian and his team were professional, responsive and struck the perfect balance - being strategic at times, calm and careful at other times and, when needed, being aggressive/strong. He always had our out-of-pocket costs in mind. At the end of the day, my father and I are both very satisfied with the outcome and strongly recommend Brian.

Seastrom, Tuttle, & Murphy is the preeminent law firm in Orange County. The one question a person asks when looking for an attorney is: Are they the best? The answer is ABSOLUTELY. Tom Tuttle listened to my complicated situation and worked feverishly to get me my best results. He was upfront about what I could expect from my case and was always willing to go to the mattresses for me. Tom and Mikita make a well-oiled team that is smart, intuitive, hardworking, and honest. They made me part of that team so that I was always knowledgeable about what was going on in order to make informed decisions. They attended to my concerns and supported me through a very difficult divorce. I felt like I had a team of allies willing to stand between me and the absurd.

The process of divorce is never easy. After firing two divorce attorneys and burning a few hundred thousand dollars I was referred to Brian Seastrom by my corporate counsel. He was pivotal in helping end my nightmare 6.5 years ago. He brings a no-nonsense calm approach to the very trying experience of divorce. He is well respected in the legal community by his colleagues and judges. The credibility value driven here cannot be underestimated. His communication style is honest & direct that motivates a business approach to resolution. He is good at pulling the reins in to eliminate the emotional reactions that often impact thoughtful reasoning. If you are looking for counsel to get you out of the gauntlet and drop the rock, Brian Seastrom is your man. You deserve to be happy!

Brian Seastrom was referred to me by a friend. She said that she always felt like her money was well spent when she needed him. This is exactly the experience I had as well. Brian evaluated my situation and was very upfront and honest with me about what to expect. I could always get in touch with him when I needed to, he took time to explain my options and often encouraged me to stay the course all while being mindful of the money I was spending. He stood up for me and fought for what was fair and in my best interest. Contacting Brian was the best decision I made.

ST&M is the premier family law firm in Orange County. Not only have I used them personally, but as a fellow lawyer in the community I refer all my clients to them. Their lawyers are highly respected by the local judges and they aggressively represent their clients. Highly recommended.

After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed.

A little of our story, My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend to sway with the biological mothers” or so they say. My husband and I were fortunate enough to have had met with Sean in person a few years prior and were able to get a feel for how we’d hope he’d handle our case. And thankfully we were right. Even with all the Covid 19 obstacles he did not falter. We wanted someone who would listen to our concerns, someone who would answer our questions (and trust me we had a lot!) but not just with what we wanted to hear but with facts, with honesty and sincerity even if it wasn’t the answer we wanted. We wanted someone who knew the ins and outs of the court system and how it all worked and would give us their honest opinion. He was always was a step and ahead and very strategic. He gave us play by play and being in a situation where the end result could possibly be loosing your child, having someone like Sean who was literally there fighting with us made all the difference. Mr Yanez & Associates were always extremely timely with getting back to us quickly, we never felt out of the loop, we never felt as if we were in limbo waiting on responses or answers or what our next step should be. Their professionalism and knowledge in my opinion is bar none. The end result is we now live in CO with my stepson, and thanks to Mr. Yanez & Associates, my husband and I can continue to watch our boys grow up together. If you’re looking for an attorney for your case. Look no further!! Sincerely, a Wife & Boy Mom of 3

Absolutely remarkable family attorneys. Yanez and his team are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. They know family law! I spent days seeking family law firms before making a decision. This firm was able to help me. Thanks to Mr. Yanez, I'll be able to be spend more time with my son again. If you're looking for a family law attorney for Irvine or the general Orange County area who cares, who's reasonably priced and knows what he's doing, this law firm without a doubt is a must consult with. I highly recommend them.

Our encounter with attorney Bettina was incredible. She walked us through the divorce process and allowed us to better understand the complexity of going through a divorce. I can honestly say that Mrs. Yanez and her Associates helped release my stress and allowed me to be able to sleep comfortably without worrying, she was phenomenal. Thank you again. I will recommend you and your team to my family and friends.

She is the worst Attorney ever. I do not have much money at the time so I rely on the court to assign me, then I got her for my custody case. She listen to my ex who also used to be a attorney at law. Then they all pull my daughter away from me even though I am the only raise my daughter up without any child support. At that time, my daughter was 8, now she is 15 and want to commit a suicide

    After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed.
