Sean has has been my lawyer since 2005 and I owe so much to him and his superior handling of my custody issues. It is not a stretch to say that my daughter and I would not have the current lifestyle we enjoy if it wasn't for Sean. I hope that I will never need to use Sean again in a legal capacity, but if I do I know he will be right there for me. I also count him as a friend (even though he is a Yankees fan!!).

Look no further for a highly capable and detail-oriented attorney to attend to any family law challenge you are confronted with. Back in the summer of 2020, I chose Sean to guide me through a bitterly contested and complicated divorce case where my ex was allowing me next to nothing in terms of visitation rights with our child. Throughout the legal proceedings, Sean completely outclassed my ex’s attorney in every aspect. The careful and meticulous prep work that he and his team carried out as we approached the final hearing ultimately led to a deal that SHATTERED my expectations and saved us a day of trial prep and two days in court. My divorce was an incredibly challenging process, and I never could have imagined emerging from it with the agreement I got, and I owe it all to Sean.
