McIlveen Family Law Firm

4.8(92)✓ Google-verified

Top reviews praise specific attorneys like Sean McIlveen, Jennifer Palmer, Ashley, and Chelsi for meticulous case preparation, genuine empathy, and calm advocacy through difficult custody and family disputes. Strong five-star feedback highlights clear communication, transparent explanations of steps, and dedicated paralegal support from staff like Kim and Madison. However, multiple one-star reviews cite billing surprises (flat fees that became hourly), staff indifference to scope boundaries, and uneven performance across different attorneys, with some clients reporting months of inaction or weak negotiation tactics.

King Law

King Law has strong counsel in DaVon Maddox and others who listeners find patient and attentive, particularly in estate planning and family matters. However, recent disputes centre on fees: clients report being billed for extended periods with minimal case progress, and concerns about upfront consultation charges followed by high retainers and partial refunds when cases weaken.
