I highly recommend Creighton McLean & Shea PLC. My experience was above the bar. Not only did my attorney drop everything to address an issue that needed immediate attention, she also ensured the very best service and advice every step of the way. Unfortunate things happen and to have the counsel of Kelley McLean Phillips was comparable to having a protective friend helping me through.

Retained Creighton McLean & Shea to create a trust/estate plan and other needs. Kelley McLean-Phillips is a fantastic attorney. All my legal needs were handled with exceptional quality and professionalism at an affordable price. Office staff and other firm colleagues also very helpful, e.g. notaries, etc.

Kelly Phillips is by far the best lawer I've ever had! I've been through a lot of law firms throughout my kids lives trying to get the courts to listen, and had zero good results with all of them except Kelly. I really feel that she cares about her clients and their situations. She will also not mislead you for a dollar. She told me it might not go my way, and asked if I was sure a few different times. But I pressed and so glad I did! The way Kelly Phillips handle my case and talked to the judge was amazing! She is a true professional and I would recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Kelley McLean-Phillips was hand picked by God himself. I was moving in a different direction. If I didn't have her as my lawyer, I PROMISE you, I would be homeless right now.. There was motion after motion, hearing after hearing and she won them all! She didn't have to take my case, probably didn't want to! But she's a pitbull in the courtroom and she'll fight for you! JUST ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH HER ALWAYS!! The BEST LAWYER IN WAYNE COUNTY. And to me, a friend. From the bottom of my heart thank you Ms. Kelley! Joshua

I recently worked with Kelley McLean Phillips to create an estate plan and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Kelley is an extraordinarily skilled, experienced, and competent attorney. I found the thought of estate planning daunting and intimidating, but Kelley immediately made me feel at ease and walked me through each step of the process with incredible clarity, kindness, and humor. I had some specific concerns regarding provisions for minor children and Kelley provided mindful and compassionate guidance that gave me great relief and confidence. The entire team and staff at Creighton, McLean & Shea have been fantastic; all of my inquires, calls, and emails were quickly and clearly answered and I truly feel that Kelley and her team went above and beyond to support me. I have already recommended Kelley and the firm to other family and friends because I know they will be in excellent hands!

"I cannot recommend the Creighton McLean & Shea team highly enough for their outstanding work in helping me with my father's estate. Attorney Raymond Waldo was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and expertise in the area of estate planning and probate law was evident from the very beginning. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and provided me with clear explanations of the legal process. Their communication was excellent, keeping me informed every step of the way, and responding promptly to any inquiries I had. Raymond Waldo always had my best interests at heart and worked diligently to ensure that my father's estate was settled in a timely and efficient manner. Overall, I was very impressed with the teams professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to their clients. If you are in need of an attorney to assist with conservatorship, guardianship or probate, I highly recommend the Creighton McLean & Shea team I hope this review helps others who are looking for a great attorney to help them with their probate needs.

I was referred to Kelley Phillips from a family member. I met with her and knew right away I would retain her to represent me in divorce proceedings. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and experienced in this field, but she is kind and supportive. There were times I left her office feeling like I left a therapy session. Divorce is always difficult, but Kelley always kept a positive and confident attitude that I appreciated and needed. There is no doubt she she is an excellent attorney, and her legal assistant, Charla, was always available and quick to answer questions or give me information on behalf of Kelley. When I read all the reviews on her website I'm surprised at how many retained Kelley as their attorney, she makes you feel like you're her only client and her undivided attention to your situation is her upmost priority. I would highly recommend Kelley, and am thankful for the recommendation I received when looking for a lawyer.

I'm thankful that I haven't had much reason to employ legal services over my years but I'm glad that Kelley Phillips was there for me in time of need. Her guidance and support was transparent and helped me through difficult times. Thanks to Kelley and the team at Creighton McLean & Shea, I feel that my life is getting back in order. I would highly recommend them based on my experience.

Ray Waldo had helped my sister out with a family matter she had. I came in once just to ask (after already hiring a different lawyer) his thoughts on my present case, That had not technically started in the courts. He was very nice to just look over my paperwork and give his general thoughts on the whole thing. After I had gotten another lawyer closer to the case, which was in the UP. Thinking my Lord down state and him would work together. That did not happen. As everything settled down I had to get rid of my lawyer in the UP because he was, as I like to call him, a slum lawyer. And I had already left the lawyer down here due to time passing with nothing happening and his schedule. I received a letter in the mail from the opposing lawyer and I literally had two days to stop what they were doing. My sister said call Waldo. Not going to lie, I literally called crying. Forward 2 months-- he has been on top of my case. In constant contact with the opposing lawyer. Has not talked down to me like the other lawyers I have had. And explain everything to me and answered all my questions I had to where I could understand. Although my case is not finished, I've never been more happy and more calm, knowing that I have him in the corner. Thank you Mr. Waldo. The last 5 years have beaten me up. Mentally and emotionally. You are the only reason, as of now, that I am able to breathe just a little easier, no matter the outcome. It really feels great not having to be stressed everyday worried, knowing I have you as a lawyer. -- Shannon

When I called 3 years ago to this office and pressed option 4 … for Raymond Waldo. . I had no idea we would end up being represented by the greatest attorney we could have ever asked for. One thousand percent will recommend him and will use him if needed for anything again. We had two very intricate ,complex and complicated cases back to back.Family law case and then a very complicated extensive probate court case. Raymond Waldo was beyond helpful. Always in contact about what the steps will be and how we’re moving along. Always reaching out as soon as possible with updates. When things went way left in both cases.. he was truly on top of every thing. Every single time we hit a road block Mr. Waldo made a way. Throughout both cases we were shown so much compassion and so much respect. He made us feel confident that our case would be resolved and they were in entirety. He’s respectful of your time , your money and your case. He listens more than he talks. Very very intelligent, humble and kind. We’re forever grateful for this practice having someone like him. Mr. Waldo is one hardworking attorney .. I know there was no one better for this .. Thank you !

Kevin McLean did an AMAZING job for my son! When your 15 year old son gets in serious trouble, you feel like you are living a nightmare! Kevin McLean was able to work with the courts to give my son a second chance. Kevin was very kind and always got back with me right away if I had any questions or concerns along the way! Words can never express how truly grateful we are to him!

We received outstanding legal advice from George S. Shea. He assisted us in our estate planning and also in the complicated sale of a rental property. He was extremely knowledgeable and caught prior mistakes that could have made this a very difficult situation. Thank you for all your support George.

My divorce was a complicated one, involving unusual issues with the property division and a long separation. Of course I wanted to get what felt like a fair settlement, so I met with several attorneys before deciding on Kelley McLean Phillips. Each time I met with her she gave me just a little bit of homework, such as digging up old statements, requesting old checks, etc. She could tell when I felt overwhelmed and reassured me that it would be worth it in the end, and she was right. We were three times more prepared than my ex-husband's attorney! She was good about keeping my expectations realistic, reminding me that "no one wins in a divorce." She couldn't have been more thorough or prepared. Although she is extremely professional, she felt like a friend by the time my divorce was final.

I cannot say enough about Kelley McLean Phillips. Kelley handled my recent divorce and Kelley was caring and concerned about me personally. Kelley was always well prepared, ready for any contingency or anything thrown at her. Kelley was professional throughout the entire proceedings regardless of the actions of opposing counsel. I highly recommend Kelley Phillips to any person in need of legal counsel.

Rick Garcia and I made a wise decision to request the services of this law firm. We were confident from the initial hour of consultation that all our needs would be met. Mrs. Phillips demonstrated a personal interest in providing us with the utmost legal needs to close on the purchase of a home. The services of this law firm was used previously and the outcome was handled with professionalism and concern. John McLean was instrumental in handling the legal; matters.If one word could be used to describe this law firm it would be "integrity." We would recommend this law firm because we would not hesitate to use Mrs.Phillips and John McLean again.

Had a fantastic experience working with the team at Creighton McLean & Shea. I first worked with John who took exceptional care of me and was able to resolve my matters quickly and to an agreeable outcome for all parties. I later worked with Kelley on another matter and had another outstanding experience. The staff at the office was prompt, efficient, courteous and professional in all of my dealings with them. Kelley and John were both extremely knowledgeable, fantastic to work with and took the time to make sure I understood all my options. Would highly recommend for any legal matters larger or small.

I was skeptical and I'm not the type that trust just anyone. I'm writing this to let others know my experience that I had. If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend John Mclean. He is honest and actually cares for his clients. He will do whatever it takes to help you with your situation, you put yourself in. I don't need to go into detail with my situation, because it's personal. But he helped me, when I didn't have anyone to turn to or to trust. And I'm very thankful for that.
