Hired Attorney Shelly D. McKeon

I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. I was referred to Shelly by a good friend. She helped me work out a settlement with my ex-partner and made sure it was beneficial to me. This was my first time hiring a lawyer but I am glad I did. I feel like the reason I made it through this was because I had found a good legal firm. I recommend her and her firm.

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 that dealt with my alimony payments to my ex and also some partially vested stocks. Shelly explained every step of the process to me and helped me weigh all of my 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 about the mid level from the hourly rates of other attorneys I interviewed, I would definitely recommend her and her law firm (and I already have recommended them to a friend of mine).

Hired Attorney Jessica S. Kern

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. Highly recommend!

Jessica was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and supportive when I went through a painful divorce. Jessica was great at getting necessary information and explaining all the steps to me. She helped me get through many challenges with her quiet strength and vast knowledge. I would recommend Jessica to anyone going through a divorce.

Shelly McKeon and Jessica Kern handled my divorce and the bottom line is they protected my interests and ensured I got a fair settlement. Although my ex deliberately made the whole thing as difficult and expensive as it could be, Shelly and Jessica made sure that I was well aware of what was to come, kept me informed and involved, and took every step needed to ensure that I was not steamrolled. I ended up much better off that I thought would be possible. I am so glad to have had them on my side.

Jessica is an exceptional, hardworking, reliable attorney. She is astute at gathering critical information, and will educate her client about steps in the legal process. She is also kind and compassionate during times of duress. She is a huge asset to the McKeon Law firm.

Hired Attorney Shelly D. McKeon

I had one of those horrible divorces you read about.....and things settled down until I moved up to MD to be closer to my kids from VA....then the ex( a family attorney herself) decieded to litigate settled issues again.......Shelly did a marvelous job and although we had to go through a two day trial....at the end of it all she got the case dismissed because the ex- did not meet the burden of proof to warrant a modification.......

Shelly and Pam both were my attorney and I wish I knew them first before I wasted my time and money to my previous one. The McKeon are the best.

Shelly D. McKeon is an exceptional attorney, efficient and effective and a caring individual. She knows what facts to gather and how to use them in the case. My personal case involved children and her genuine concern for the children was apparent. She gave excellent advice, but was always willing to listen and consider your thoughts if they differed from hers. I have recommended Ms. McKeon to several friends as I feel her integrity and legal representation is outstanding.
