    Par excellence! Shawn McKenna is a trustworthy expert in family law who genuinely cared about seeing my court case completed. He consistently gives 110% to his clients.
    He is an exceptional attorney who communicates effectively with solid integrity and responds promptly. He has been a committed advocate for me throughout the entire process. His negotiations with the opposing side enabled my divorce to progress and keep moving forward until it was successfully completed.
    I highly recommend him to you. You will not find a more dedicated professional for finalizing your settlement.
    Mr. McKenna is first-class. He is truly a lawyer's lawyer bar none.

    If you want a lawyer who’s honest, straightforward, and doesn’t waste time with nonsense — call Shawn McKenna.

    He came into my case pretty late, and honestly, I wish I had him from the start. My ex-wife’s lawyer was super dramatic, trying to paint me as some terrible person just because I like taking my daughter to Phish concerts. The whole thing was ridiculous.

    Shawn was the total opposite — calm, focused, and laser-sharp. He went through my case line by line, found every weak spot in their argument, and completely tore apart the false story they were pushing. It wasn’t cheap, but it was absolutely fair for the amount of work and detail he put in.

    In the end, we won. Everything they tried to throw at me got dropped, and now my right to take my daughter to concerts is actually written into our parental agreement. Shawn made their whole legal team look like amateurs.

    Bottom line — if you want someone who tells it like it is, works hard, and knows how to win, Shawn’s the lawyer you want in your corner.

    I called Shawn McKenna’s office for my divorce case. He was reachable, responsive, and offered a long, free consultation.

    I called him the next day to book a paid consultation. He said he doesn’t think he is the right attorney and firm for my case, which is HUGE because I have been burned before by attorneys taking on or continuing cases to make money even though it was not right for them to do so. I think he is client-centered and cost-conscious and not fee-driven and exploitative.

    Furthermore, as a senior attorney, he assessed the opposing party’s attorney and the case to give me recommendations on what type of law firm would be a better fit for me. And I think he directed me in a direction to look for the correct type of firm and attorney for my case and make better educated decisions.

    If he is comfortable taking your case, I believe he could be a very good candidate for hiring as an attorney.

    We were pleasantly surprised by Sean McKenna's professionalism and promptness. He gave us a lot of help in preparing the marriage contract, answering all our questions and explaining all the nuances. The process went quickly and without delays, and the quality of the work performed was at the highest level.

    Also, comparing with other law firms, we noticed that the cost of his services is very adequate, and his willingness to work even in the evening made a special impression on us. In addition, he provided excellent translation services for the Ukrainian documents I had, which greatly simplified the process for us.

    If you are in need of an experienced family law attorney, we recommend Sean McKenna as a reliable and competent attorney.

    We had a great experience working with the Law Office of Shawn McKenna. Shawn, the managing partner, was always quick to respond to our questions and helped us through the prenuptial agreement process with ease. His efficiency made the process move quickly, and the quality of his work was excellent.

    Compared to other law firms, we found his fees to be reasonable, and we really appreciated his availability, even outside of regular hours. He also provided high-quality translation services for some documents I had from Ukraine, which was extremely helpful.

    For anyone seeking a reliable family law attorney, we highly recommend Shawn McKenna. He made what could have been a stressful situation much easier to handle.

    Kudos to an excellent attorney! Shawn McKenna quickly ascertained my situation while providing salient advice which saved me time and money. Shawn's direct factual approach was not only mindful of my finances, but his empathetic personal approach calmed my shattered nerves. As promised Shawn was capable of quickly resolving all issues which resulted in a final agreement and divorce.

    Shawn made my divorce process easy. Divorce is stressful and I wouldn't choose another lawyer over Shawn. He handled everything behind the scenes and kept me informed and stress free. I was dealing with an unstable ex-wife and Shawn's guidance got me through it with the best deal in the end. I couldn't be happier! I recommend Shawn's services if you are going through a divorce, he is the type of lawyer you need in your corner.
