Hired Attorney

This attorney was unable to accomplish in six months what a competing attorney accomplished in six days. A complete waste of time and resources.

I can only imagine that the positive reviews were written by himself or his family. He lives off of his military service and is quite truly, the biggest con man I know. He failed at advocating for me before our judge multiple times and seemed distracted by his high case load. To make matters worse, I was pushed to the side quite often, with my case handled by an attorney who had just finished law school. Ultimately I spent thousands of dollars only to lose more time. Pathetic

Hired Attorney

An extremely egotistical maniac who gets caught up in trying to beat the other side all while forgetting about the best interests of the case. I finally removed him as counsel after he lost a motion for reconsideration to my ex who was representing herself.

Not sure how anyone can have a positive experience with Sean. He relies on his past service to this country to keep him in the good graces of the court. He has little grasp of family law and it shows when he arrives to a hearing unprepared.

I’m sure other individuals have had a nice experience with Sean. But like other reviews outside of this website, I have nothing good to say about the man. Not only does he lack basic empathy for others, he continually shows up to hearings unprepared and disorganized. At the time of this review, Sean has lost multiple motions and a major hearing to someone who was self-represented. That should scare anyone else greatly.

If you want an attorney to lose continuously and waste your money attempting to win pointless motions, then Breen is the man for you. When he doesn’t feel like working your case, he sends the B-Team in to make an appearance for him. I finally was able to win my case against someone pro se by hiring another attorney.

I hired Sean to represent me in my divorce. He told me he had no idea what the judge meant in my divorce settlement. This attorney completely lacked moral fiber and exhibited zero empathy for his client. I would not recommend this horrifically bad attorney.

Highly emotional & deeply personal, incredibly disrespectful, self-absorbed individual. Hire him if you want to kick your ex in the teeth and go for the jugular, thereby making your ex and your very own children absolutely hate your guts! Hmmmmm...maybe money isn't everything in life?!?
