I had an excellent experience working with Connor during my divorce proceedings. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process.
From the very beginning I felt as if Connor McKee knew his job back to front, had my best interests at heart (even when he occasionally had to tell me that such and such was unrealistic, unreasonable or unwise) and was a thoroughly reassuring ally throughout.
Connor explained everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and handled all matters efficiently and with great attention to detail.
Connor helped me to reach a fair result in the fastest time possible. I never felt as if I was just another client. I felt, instead, as if I were a priority. My divorce was in extremely good hands and has ended as well as it could.
