Corporate contract

I was being brought onto a giant corporate company for temporary hire, and some things I was required to sign such as noncompetes were worded extremely vaguely and seemed like a lose-lose situation for me. He looked it over and responded with very clear and consise advice in such a short amount of t...ime that gave me the knowledge and confidence to proceed with the hiring company without feeling like I was being set up for a loss. Would've been completely lost without his advice and possibly compromising my future livelihood. Thanks for helping a student out!

Anything that he/she can do, Sean can do better.

Sean is outstanding with his legalese. After a while I learned to make Sean my go to guy. I was sick of taking sloppy, wishy washy work to be looked over and marked up by Sean to Sean, when all I ever needed was Sean's expertise and guidance in the first place. He's human, but doesn't seem to ever m...ake mistakes, no loop holes ever make it past him. He's a genius.

Intellectual Property Work-for-Hire

Sean Fowler helped me navigate a complicated contract dealing with intellectual property work-for-hire for an international non profit organization. The contract had been stuck in limbo being pushed back and fourth for over a week until Mr. Fowler took his pen to make the final, mutually agreeable ed...its between my client and myself. Aside from being pleased with outcome of the contract itself, I would further recommend Mr. Fowler for his unparalleled professionalism and incredibly speedy follow through.

Provided Timely, Thorough advice leading to Dispute Resolution

When I described my legal dilemma to Sean, he knew exactly what legal documents he’d need to best help me. In a very short period of time, he’d read the documents thoroughly. He had succinct and concrete advice for how to proceed. With his help, I approached my landlord with the request of moneta...ry compensation for items damaged during a flood of my apartment. I successfully received compensation. Furthermore, Sean’s help was instrumental in facilitating legal termination of my lease.

A Smart professional that you rarely find around

This is my personal recommendation for Sean Fowler. Sean had been an employee and general counsel of my company Sigma Systems, Inc for more than three years. During the course of his employment with us I found him very reliable, professional, honest and trust worthy. He is always pleasant and helping.... He has handled many different cases, including but not limited to Immigration, Litigation, Copyright, Labor, Contracts and Corporate areas. During his tenure with Sigma, we won few complicated cases successfully. His intellectuality was very instrumental in our success stories. Though he left Sigma for some personal reasons, he has been consistently maintaining a decent relation with us and volunteering his assistance whenever we needed. I am very pleased with his personality and loyalty towards a former employee. He is a family oriented, well educated kind hearted person

Unknown lawyer | Dec 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Not only is Sean's insightful legal analysis an invaluable and highly potent asset to addressing any legal concern, but he is also prompt, efficient, willing to go the extra mile, and has a highly affable personality. Although Sean and I have worked on numerous legal issues together, of particular note was a very successful piece of major federal court litigation involving the breach of a non-compete and theft of trade secrets by a company director, a corporate merger, numerous contract negotiations, and a major nationwide set of litigations taking place, simultaneously, in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Texas. Sean's skills in the office and in the court never to be underestimated, and I hold him in my highest regard."
