Hired Attorney

Attorney Sean McAteer assisted us with a guardianship case on a pro bono basis, and we are truly grateful for his help. He was always prompt, organized, and professional, and it was clear from the beginning that he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He stayed on top of every detail and made the process easy to understand, which gave us great peace of mind. Mr. McAteer was a pleasure to work with and showed genuine care and dedication throughout our case. I would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance, especially for guardianship matters.

Hired Attorney

Do not hire this “lawyer” He will waste your time and money. Look up news articles about him and do your research. We didn’t and it was a HUGE mistake. Sean is a scam artist, will take your money and act like he is doing the research and work. We hired him for a probate case and ended up filing and doing the work on our own in the end which took two days and $30. He “worked” on the case for three months and strung us along while numerously giving us wrong information. I could go on and on. stay far away!!

Do your research the worst move you could ever make is hiring this attorney.. not trustworthy. Watch everything especially your bills has anger issues will harass you if you don't pay on time. Well makeup charges. And totally lose your case.
