He has transitioned seamlessly to DUI defense, and brings years of experience and expertise in DUI litigation to the benefit of his clients."
"Attorney Sean Farrelly is someone I have known for over twenty years and is a close friend of mine. But he also possesses a combination of skills that few attorneys have - whether they are young or old. He's naturally very intelligent and as quick on his feet as they come, but also well-read and disciplined to learn everything he can about the practice of law. He can explain complex and difficult legal situations to clients in plain english, while also explaining nuances of the law in detail to police officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges. He's also somebody that will stick by your side and go the extra mile when few others will. I'm proud to say that Sean has been a great friend who is more like a brother. But I also sincerely endorse him as a criminal defense attorney who will truly care about your situation and fight for you every step of the way."
