  [K.K.]

• Shelly and Jessica

  Words can't express my sincere thanks, appreciation, and gratitude for the exceptional quality customer service and care you have provided to me for nearly two-years. I have received stellar representation and candidate straightforward legal advice from McKeon. The character, integrity, thoughtfulness, patience, and attention to detail shown by McKeon is unmatched and I don't know what I would have done if I were represented by another firm.

  It's been a very tumultuous ride and difficult at times, and I sincerely apologize for all of [opposing party's] inconsiderate and immature behavior that caused unnecessary work and expense. Thank you for keeping me calm and sane throughout this ordeal, as well as alerting me to the blind-spots in my attitude and behavior...

  I'm glad this is over and I have moved on with my life. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication McKeon gave in representing me.

  [K.K.]

• Dear Jessica,

  All I have to say is 'Thank You' from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of my family as well, may God continue to give you the wisdom and strength to do your work in guiding and helping people like me get the best out of their situation. I am so relieved, happy and thankful that its [sic] all over and we ended up in a good position. You were very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire case, you presented issues and positions clearly which was helpful in my decision making. You were very attentive to my needs and navigated our strategy to get us there.

  To the entire Mckeon law firm staff, I also want to extend my gratitude for all each and everyone did, from printing copies to mailing documents regarding my case. I am very thankful and grateful. I am looking forward to rebuilding my life and focusing on important things that will come my way. Again, Jessica, I thank you and I wish you all the best in your profession.

  Gratefully Yours,

  [O.A.]

• This has been an awful time for both [spouse] and myself, emotionally, and I truly appreciate the role that the McKeon Law Firm has played. I needed an advocate who would protect my interests but not inject additional rancor, and you embodied that concept fully. I know that we are still in the midst of this process, but I wanted you to know how pleased I am to have you and your group of attorneys.

  [E.S.]

• Shelly is a very experienced litigator who is often ranked as one of the area's best divorce lawyers. She is, in addition, an absolutely lovely person. Every client I have ever sent her way has loved her, and has been delighted with both the quality of counsel and the level of service that they received with her practice. Shelly has two associates - both women - with whom she works very closely, and the three of them truly operate as a team, which means, among other things, that clients can always get the guidance they need. Although she will pursue litigation aggressively if need be, she is much more interested in actually solving the problem and getting you a good result without drama or unnecessary conflict.

It has been a pleasure and our good fortune to have you, Shelly, Jessica, and everyone in the office working on this case. My brother is extremely happy with the outcome.

• I recommend that you contact attorney Shelly McKeon for legal counsel in connection with your separation and possible divorce. Shelly is a very experienced litigator who is often ranked as one of the area's best divorce lawyers. She is, in addition, an absolutely lovely person. Every client I have ever sent her way has loved her and has been delighted with both the quality of counsel and the level of service that they received with her practice. Shelly has two associates - both women - with whom she works very closely, and the three of them truly operate as a team, which means, among other things, that clients can always get the guidance they need. She bills conservatively and at a reasonable hourly rate. Most important, although she will pursue litigation aggressively if need be, she is much more interested in actually solving the problem and getting what you need without drama or unnecessary conflict.

  [W.H.]

• I want to recommend my new attorneys because they have given me new hope, protection, respect and the advice I never got from my former attorney. Unfortunately, I didn't find them until too late in the process but I decided to change right after merit hearing because I was so upset with the results. Maybe I didn't benefit from their assistance before going through the divorce process but someone else will if they decide to use their services – I guarantee they will be represented properly. The Firm is The McKeon Law Firm – Shelly McKeon – Gaithersburg, MD – 301-417-0222. I sincerely hope this helps someone.

• Because all your firm has done for me, I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Your firm saved me from the depths of the darkest, gloomiest, hopelessness and certain defeat and gently and lovingly took me under your wings and brought to a better place...a place that would have been out of my reach forever without you. You both fought for me as if we shared the same blood and helped lift my spirits higher. You helped me find an inner strength, a strength that I forgot was there and lost faith in long ago. You gave me a reason to hope and a reason to believe that one day I will be happy again. I will always be thankful to you and will not let your complete dedication to my case ever go to waste. Even now that this case is for the most part behind you, you are still taking care of me and making sure that I transition responsibly and completely.
