I cannot recommend Sean enough as divorce counsel. He has been an ally and a protector for me, without sacrificing his or my integerity, and without tearing down my ex. Sean has Integrity. He tells the truth, and expects you to tell the truth. This matters a LOT when you are going through a tough divorce; keeping your integrity will mean a lot to you a few years down the road. Sean is wise with cost. Because of his integrity, Sean will not run up your bills or the bills of your ex. He will do a rigorous, thorough job in representing you, but will keep you informed of costs and options every step of the way. Sean saved me and my family. I realize this sounds dramatic, but it is not hyperbole. I was in the middle of a difficult divorce, representing myself against my ex’s notoriously aggressive counsel in a failed attempt to save money for the kids, and was, as a consequence, depressed and not caring for my kids well. Against all odds, Sean took my case (where others would not) after listening carefully to my situation, and after carefully questioning me to ensure I was a man of my word, and was not misleading him in any way. Over the past 2 years, Sean has successfully represented me, and brought an equitable settlement to my divorce, correcting the imbalance that was created when I represented myself. As a result of this partnership, my stress level is so much lower and my confidence has increased. It might sound like an exaggeration, but this has improved my performance at work, and has improved my ability to be a dad to my kids. Sean faced a very aggressive opposing counsel, and did not sink to their level, or allow me to sink to their level. Not only did he maintain his integrity and mine, but he also prevailed. To those of you facing the emotional pain of a divorce, I am sorry - I’ve been there, and it is so hard. But, having come out on the other side, I can safely and sincerely say that preserving your integrity (or finding it, in my case) is the single most important thing you can take our of a challenging divorce. And Sean can and will help with that.

I worked with Sean on a child custody issue in which I wanted to move out of state. It was complicated, frightening, and among the most emotionally taxing experiences of my life. Sean was an oasis of calm, managed my expectations about the process, allowed me to do as much of my own work as possible to manage expenses, and most important: He did not fill my head with unattainable fantasies of what I could accomplish. He kept my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds. He was kind, compassionate, realistic, and when it came to be in front of the judge he was respectful, courteous, and professional. He also did not use a bunch of incendiary language to work up opposing counsel. He was just as polite and professional in working with my opposition. He did not pour gas on an already large fire. Calls and emails were returned promptly and all of my questions were answered thoroughly and in ways I could understand. I whole heartedly recommend Sean for any legal needs. He is simply superb and I am grateful that I found him.

Sean P Joyce is the best choice if you need a family lawyer. He is professional and takes time to learn your case and give you your best options at this stressful time. He is extremely talented and passionate about family law. I was dealing with previous attorneys that did nothing but take my money and make things worse. I can't say enough good things about Sean and his staff and how great full I am. I would not of been able to win my custody case without him. Sean worked really hard to know the details of my custody case and let me know by best options for my family. Thank you Sean. I highly recommend him.

I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Sean on my divorce. He is an incredible partner during a difficult process. He took my case so seriously, always looking out for me and doing everything possible to achieve your best outcome with as little pain (and expense) as possible. Sean listens to what matters to you and works tirelessly to get what you deserve. He was always super prepared for every court appearance and has earned the respect of his peers. Sean is a man or extremely high integrity and you can always be certain he is only looking out for your best interest - never racking up fees. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more strongly.

Noting but great things to say about Sean and his staff (Aaron.) Going through a divorce is never easy especially when you are dealing with greedy people and bad attorneys. My first attorney was useless but then retained Sean. Sean and Aaron were on point and directed me in the right way. Never felt out of the loop or unaware. they gave me all my options and explained them thoroughly so we can make the right decision to settle ts divorce. They weren't about just making money, they truly cared and were looking out for me. It was a long and process but without Sean I couldn't have got through it as I did. If you are in need of an attorney you actually cares and is a grade A professional in every aspect of family law, you need to use Sean and his staff.

Sean was my defense lawyer in the case of a frivolous civil restraining order. He was one of many lawyers that I contacted for this case but because of his quick response time during the initial contact period, I decided to go with Sean. Our first call and in-person meeting were both great experiences for my first dealings with a lawyer. He was quick to pick up on the basics of the case and, when we met face-to-face, his confidence and calm demeanor quickly put me at ease. He was familiar with cases of this nature and knew all policies and procedures that were necessary. Sean was always a quick email response away for me while we were going over Declarations and Responses. We were able to hammer everything out in about a day and had all the papers filed/served by the next. The day of the trial, he was both professional and knowledgeable. He worked with the opposing council before the actual proceedings to see if we could resolve things without going before the judge. He was very fair in these dealing and even saw through some of the deception that the plaintiff tried. The opposing council was not agreeable and we went to trial. In the courtroom, Sean was concise and able to perceive some of the inaccuracies of the plaintiff. His closing statement was straight to the point and convincing. It was clear that both the judge and Sean respected each other. All in all, I would recommend Sean for anyone looking for a respected lawyer, especially for those seeking experience in civil restraining order cases.

Sean is the attorney you hope to find in a divorce. I interviewed many other attorneys and worked with a few, and I was never satisfied with their services. When Sean was helping me he was working against the kind of lawyer who gives lawyers a bad name. Sean was able to diffuse many potentially explosive situations with his calm demeanor and rational approach. It was very refreshing to work with a lawyer who presents the options, explains the implications and lets the client make the decision. Sean was highly responsive and always met his estimates for completing tasks. I've worked with Sean on several occasions and he will definitely be my go-to attorney for any issue in his area of expertise.

After I dealt with two different attorneys on my issues in court, and I was finding out how deliverate they were taking their time on my case to ensure that I was milked the most.. then I opted to change them and hired Sean P. Joyce to represent me. At first I did not buy into what he was advicing me, of course I had already been burned from the other two attornys so I had not trust, but after he went and represented me in court, I then found out he was a very dedicated and down to earth,, and he was also handling just the right ammount of cases so he would not be overwhelmed and I would not affect my case, he very careful understood and went above and beyond my case, Sean is not just your average attorney I can tell you, once he start handling any case, you will see how profesional he is and proactive, for me he is just what attorneys were meant to be, anybody can find any attorneys and believe me if you get the wrong one you'd pay throught the nose, why take a risk,
