Hired Attorney Alexander "Alex" French

We're still mid-case (it has been going on for a very long time) but that's no fault of Alex's. I consider Alex to be an awesome advocate and extremely supportive. He knows his law, he doesn't bill for outrageous things, and I trust him. Alex has been an excellent lawyer for my Family Law case. I couldn't have asked for better for us.

Hired Attorney Mr. Sean F. McIlveen Esq.

Mr. Mcllveen is kind and knowledgeable. He understands you are at a turning point in your life and listens closely to all of your questions and concerns. What meant the most is I knew he was not just telling me what I wanted to hear, but let me know what to expect as it can be a very scary thing to divorce. The unlimited amount patience he had when answering and explaining all of my questions and concerns were priceless!

Hired Attorney Mr. Sean F. McIlveen Esq.

From the moment I walked into the office of Sean McIlveen I knew it was not just a job/career choice to Sean, but that he truly cared. He kept me well informed each step of the way from what was going to happen, what was happening and what was going to happen. I went from entering his office scared and confused to leaving feeling confident and informed. Sean McIlveen is the entire package if you are looking for someone to represent you in your case. You will not regret selecting him!

Hired Attorney Mr. Sean F. McIlveen Esq.

Really didn't want to post this.. but truly believe others should know. Had Sean represent me 3 years ago and he allowed specific " wording" to be allowed into my modified custody court order from the opposing attorney which I specifically questioned him about as I did NOT like the wording or implication and he said "Oh, that's not a big deal..that's just legalese wording. I TRUSTED him and boy was I WRONG to do so! 3 years later...today, sitting in court he ran into me just at the moment I was

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
