  • 5.0/5.0 Review for Sean P. Schmergel by a Attorney on 05/01/24 in Family Law

    I have shared office space with Sean and worked with him on cases. He is excellent as rated above. Most important is that he is willing to seek opinions and advice regarding areas of the law that he is not that familiar with.

    Sean is a professional. Aggressive when the situation calls for it, but thoughtful and considerate at all times. I'd gladly send a friend or family member to him if the need arose.
