I can’t say enough good things about Sean and his staff. I had a very messy divorce. I worked with another lawyer for seven months and he did very little for me except continually remind me that Wisconsin was a 50/50 state and that even though I brought significant assets into the marriage while my ex had, none, I earned about three times more during the marriage, and we were only married for a short time, I was going to have split everything 50/50 with him. He pressured me to agree to a very bad mediation deal. Luckily, before having the judge finalize the mediation agreement, I came across Sean‘s reviews on Google. I wasn’t just looking at how many stars he was given but I read what people wrote about him. People repeatedly commented on his commitment, his dedication, and going the extra mile. I made an appointment for a consultation with Sean. Within the first five minutes of our meeting, he said, “Let me show you what the law actually says, I have had to educate other counsel and judges about this.” He printed off the actual law where it states that Wisconsin is a 50/50 state after consideration is made for the following items, which included length of marriage, what each brought into the marriage, and the length of the marriage. After talking a little more, he asked why I didn’t have a restraining order and I told him that my previous lawyer told me it was 50/50 whether I would get it and that it would be inflammatory and work against me even though I felt very unsafe and threatened. Sean appeared very upset after hearing this, and disagreed, but continued to be professional and not bad mouth the other lawyer. Sean was very brave about taking on my case this late in the game with a fast approaching court date and so much information to take in. Also, my ex hired a lawyer who I had heard said is the best divorce lawyer in La Crosse. I wholeheartedly disagree, because Sean definitely is the best. I am still in awe of the commitment Sean made to helping me get a fair trial and a great outcome. I would see emails from him sent on weekends and in the middle of the nightat times. It was so reassuring to know he was on my side and so determined. He blocked out several days of his calendar so that he could familiarize himself with my huge stack of documents. As soon as I retained Sean as my attorney, I finally felt like I could relax and let him take care of it. I knew that no matter what happened with the results of the trial, I would be satisfied, because I had the best representation I could possibly have. My hearing went on for two days. Sean was relentless in his effort to get me a fair trial and justice. In the end, the judge decided to divide the assets 80/20 in my favor. I did not get everything I wanted, but that never happens in court. It was about $70,000 that Sean saved me based on what my previous attorney was forecasting with a trial outcome. In some ways, more importantly, Sean gave me the opportunity to tell my story and have it validated by the judge. He was so committed to making it clear that I tried so hard during the marriage and that my ex was dishonest and completely took advantage of me. It seemed that Sean felt a moral obligation to not let my ex take more from me and to have his greediness and dishonesty exposed. I will also say that his staff was very friendly and hard-working. Sean went out of his way to try to save me money when he could by having me do some of the legwork if I wanted. He kept me consistently updated on status and promptly responded to all of my messages. Hopefully I will never need counsel again, but if I did, I would definitely retain Sean again. If it were possible to give him 10 stars, I would.

Sean took great care of everything from the jump. He worked with me on payment, as well as gave me practical and reasonable legal advice. He didn’t over promise but certainly delivered. I hope to not have to use his services again but he would be the first I turn to if I ever do.

I highly recommend Attorney O’Neill. His professionalism made my messy divorce tolerable. He is fair, honest, and his fees are reasonable. He also offered me a free consultation.

Mr O’Neill was an outstanding attorney, he helped me through everything with my divorce case and walked me through everything I had questions on in a timely and professional manner. If the day ever comes where I’d need an attorney again he will always be my first call. The level of respect, understanding and help through a very difficult time in my life was above and beyond and I’ll always be great full for all of the work he put in to helping me through the divorce process.

Excellent and very dependable lawyer that gets great results always on top of things never leaves you wondering where you guys are . Very organized and pleasant to consult with . He just really seems to care for his clients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and not be afraid to say he is one of the best in town .

Sean was recommended to me by a family member when I was concerned about taking my ex husband back to court for custody and placement after we have been divorced for several years. When I called Sean for my first consultation, he took the time to listen to my situation and advised me of my options. Through the whole process, he answered my questions, and didn’t nickel and dime me. My only regret, because I didn’t know him at the time, is they I didn’t have him as my divorce lawyer.

Sean did an excellent job representing my case and was able to get the best possible outcome. Was honest up front about expectations, and followed through to completion with a positive outcome. Highly recommend.

Sean was my lawyer about 8 years ago when I was in legal trouble. He fought for a second chance for me which I took and ran with. Now I hired Sean for a on going custody battle that we have been in and out of due to my ex and his lies to try and take my son from me. Sean proved his lies and proved my truth. Sean knows the law and proved my ex broke it. Sean goes above and beyond for his clients. He has won every case for me and even gotten me more then I expected at times. Every time I leave court I feel like 1,000 pounds is lifted from my chest and that’s because I have Sean O’Neil fighting for me, for my son. I don’t know what I would do if I would have to find another lawyer. Sean is my lawyer for life!

My experience with Sean was tremendous! His firm moto is "have us on your side" and you definitely should, he'll work tirelessly in order to get you the best results possible and will give you a thorough break down of everything for you. No BS or nothing, just an honest and down to earth lawyer as lawyers should be! When I felt that one of my lawyers just wasn't cutting it, one of my family members recommended him to me and I immediately saw a difference with Sean. His level of quality service and work is of the best I've seen in Wisconsin. Please take the time and consider consulting with Sean, he'll hear you and help you deal/fight with whatever you are facing. And if he can't fully help you with your situation, he'll give you great recommendations/references to help you on your situation/case. On a final note, for someone that has been dubious of lawyers for a while I can truly say that Sean has won my trust and respect. His professionalism, level of care, and hard work his great! And his fees are very reasonably priced as well. I am keeping him on my short list of trusted top notch lawyers for future legal help, no doubt. Thank you so much for your help Sean!!

Sean is the go to lawyer! I felt completely helpless being a mom to a one year old knowing her father was using drugs around our daughter and didnt know my rights or how to handle the situation but Sean made me feel confident and was upfront and real ! Now I have full placement of my daughter and she is finally safe! If your looking for a attorney , look no more! Sean is a excellent attorney. Real and straight to the point! Not disappointed at all ! If I ever need an attorney again I will always call him!

Sean was very informative and upfront about the process to file for legal guardianship and how much he charges. He billed monthly and give me ample time to review the charges. There was a charge that I felt was wrong and he quickly reviewed it and we came to an agreement. The whole process from start to finish was a great experience. I would highly recommend him; if your seeking a lawyer for some sort of legal guardianship.

Handled my son's divorce efficiently and professionally. Sean ushered us through some unexpected situations that arose and kept us apprised of developments and progress all along the way. His communication was excellent and we could not be happier. I strongly recommend him.
