Pros to sean:he completed what I needed done so I can get a divorce. So things like house and debt. CONS: When it comes to the children Sean has watched and allowed my ex to "breach" our order 100s, and I mean 100s of times over and did NOTHING! about it. I am no more protected from her destroying my relationship with my child and honestly I should have done this on my own because the outcome here would have been the same, awful the system in bias and corrupt but the person you spend every penny on ( and he will charge you, even if it's something your ex is making longer then needed) but he is just as horrible.i do not recommend if you want to protect yourself or your kids because he will not follow through on anything he emails out to the other party its just empty threats and they will see it too and continue. Worse is he knows the law and courts and never explained why he never followed through or why it is or isn't worth the time. Thanks for nothing.

Sean is apathetic and lacks creativity. For someone in the people business, he certainly cares little about anyone but himself. He’s not even smart enough to pretend to care. If you’re not convinced by this review, try him out and learn a very expensive lesson—I sure did! He consistently agreed with the opposing counsel and tried to convince me to agree to all their terms. Wow! What a con artist! He lost my case and ruined me and my family financially and emotionally!

Sean represented me in an awful divorce situation and he was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, timely, got done what needed to be done. My ex is a very narcissistic and manipulative individual and Sean could see right through his so called tricks. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone needing a lawyer in the Family Law department and he was worth every penny. I can’t and don’t want to imagine where I would be today if I didn’t have Sean on my side. Also, he is a very nice individual who genuinely cares for his clients and works hard to get them what they rightfully deserve.

Mr. Platt is knowledgeable and commands respect from the family law community. Unfortunately, he was also very condescending and arrogant. He will bill you for everything including any mistakes he makes. If he makes a spelling mistake on a document and you point it out, he will then charge you for re-writing it and for reading the email you sent him to point out his error. He will raise his hourly rate without warning! I believe he is trying to make partner at his firm and thus has to have as many billable hours as can get in order to impress the partners. Unfortunately, his clients are paying a huge price for his personal goals. He is not worth $400.00 per hour, not a chance. You will have more success with a seasoned lawyer who is only charging you $300.00 per hour. I do not recommend Mr. Platt as a family lawyer.

Mr. Plat said ¨sure, we can help with that¨ upon stumbling upon him via a friend´ of a friend in QC , making my phone call to him number 21, when trying to get my kids back, and having left voice mails with over 18 lawyers, most provided via the Law Referral Service phone provided to me via the Family Law Information Centres (FLICs), services provided by Ministry of the Attorney General, a representative from there telling me: ¨It´s Complicated¨, and having no access to free counsel due my home being sold and held in trust in a law office, making this a truly, truly daily double nightmare. Or check mate, really in my personal opinion.

My only mistake was not listening to Sean from the outset. I was trying to be nice and Sean could see that my ex was not a nice person and was manipulating me even when I couldn't. He advised but still ultimately listened to my wishes. Fast forward a few years and my ex was purposely delaying the final divorce to the point where it jeopardized my remarriage. Sean and his team stayed on top of it and managed to get the final divorce completed 9 days before the wedding and everything went ahead according to plan, thank goodness. Now, a year later, my ex is coming back at me for money that he feels he is owed and yet isn't based on anything lawful. This time, I plan to listen to Sean's advice and his assessment of my ex's motives and knowledge of the law like I should have in the first place. Lesson learned. Let Sean do his job.

I would never recommend this lawyer. He was misleading and very dishonest. He is extremely arrogant,not to mention expensive. I am glad you are taking the time to read the reviews about this lawyer. Trust me, I wish I had, prior to hiring him. Keep looking for a lawyer, do not work with Mr. Plat, you will regret it like I do, and my guess is, many others.

Sean represented me in a painful divorce with an ex-spouse who was willing to do or say whatever it took to get everything and anything they could get, despite not deserving it. Sean was smart, patient and strategic. He was a calming force during my rage sessions after receiving brutal WTF communications from opposing counsel. In the end, the result was what I hoped for and wanted. Justice, fairness and equity. I would hire Sean again, but hope I never need to. I would also hire MT again.

Mr. Plat represented me through a very stormy divorce. He was always there for me. If I left a message or email it was always answered in full within twenty four hours. That includes weekends. I am very satisfied with the resolution reached between my ex husband and I. That is due to Mr. Plat’s knowledge of the law. This divorce could have gone in forever. I appreciate Mr. Plat’s sound, no nonsense advice.

Hiring Sean Plat was a huge mistake for my family. He prolonged my court case, he did not communicate with me on many issues, and truly did not listen or care about the outcome for my family. Single mother's beware! I was not properly represented and would caution anyone about hiring this lawyer. My family is in a worse situation both financially and emotionally because of the unprofessional services of this lawyer. Shameful. I have huge regrets. Having to go through any issue around family law is scary and intimidating. That alone takes a toll on your family. Mr Plat only added to the stress, and financially ruined me, leaving my children to struggle.

I have a valid case against this man. But after years of billing and bullying I just could not handle dealing with what happened. It cost me a lot financially. But the emotional toll was what kept me quiet for years
