Review for Sean

I will not enter a court room without Sean representing me, including traffic court. Sean had represented on several occasions. Every outcome was successful. Not only does he go above an beyond for his clients, he has shown me what it mean to know someone great!

Approachable, easy going, and results oriented

I hired Sean to represent me in a case against my HOA. Even though I lived in China at the time, he kept me apprised at all times of actions in my case, and helped me to come to an acceptable outcome with a minimum of expense.

Sean McDonough

We are still in the ligation process against a former employer. Up to this point I am completely satisfied with Sean. I just hope to have this all completed within the very near future. Therefore I am reserving additional comments until my case is settled.
