    Recommends this Law firm
    This Legal Team is by far the BEST!! If I could give more than five stars I would! Shelly and her team of professionals handled my post-divorce settlement as swiftly as possible. They took ALL of the details into consideration; therefore understanding my ENTIRE situation. Bottom Line - Shelly and her Team KNOW the law. They will NOT sugar coat or twist things, they will tell you like it is. They are SOLID. At the end of it all, yes, I spent money on an awesome Legal team to represent me in an ugly case. But, on the other end of that case I am a MUCH happier man and it was worth EVERY penny! You will not regret hiring them! Thank You!!!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Shelly McKeon and her team at The McKeon Law Firm to anyone looking for an aggressive but also reasonable person/law firm to represent them. My case was a difficult one and my ex made it that much more difficult. We had to work out modifications to our prior settlement agreement. Shelly explained every step to me and helped me weigh options. And, in the end we reached a settlement which I believe is better for me than it is for my ex. I'm very pleased with the outcome. Also her fees were high but comparable to the other attorneys I interviewed. I would definitely recommend her.

    My divorce was very difficult. My husband hid our assets and had planned to leave me long before he actually let on to me that he was done with the marriage. I felt lost and alone and helpless. I was referred to the Mckeon Law Firm from one of my close friends who used them for her divorce and custody case. I hired Shelly and Jessica to represent me and could not have been in better hands. They were literally life savers. They helped me at every step to see the options available to me and to advise me based on their wealth of experience. They were able to find the money my husband hid from me and negotiated a settlement that I am very pleased with and feel that even though nobody wins in a divorce, I came out of this ordeal feeling secure in my future because of the settlement. Overall, I believe that even though it was expensive, they were worth every dollar. My husband's attorneys fees were much higher than mine and I know he is unhappy with what the outcome was. I highly recommend the McKeon Law Firm.
