If you're thinking twice about hiring another attorney, don't waste your time. Sean is amazing, he is detail oriented, approachable, trustworthy & most importantly, responsive to his clients. He has a unique way of being both aggressive and compassionate.
He was able to get my misdemeanor charge dismissed. He was thorough, looked at all possible options & outcomes and discussed the quickest way for us to resolve my case that day. His work ethic is tireless, and he gets the job done quickly, efficiently and with great results. In the future should I get a traffic ticket, without hesitation Sean will be the person I call.
I am a former prosecutor who has practiced criminal law for 17.5 years as an Assistant District Attorney, handling thousands of felony cases, and trying over 100 jury trials, including First Degree Capital Murder, First Degree Rape, Felony Assault, Kidnapping, Armed Robbery, Child Rape, Drug Trafficking, and other serious felony crimes. I have also handled thousands of misdemeanor cases such as DWI/DUI, underage alcohol violations, and domestic assault. I am now representing those accused.
Although I have practiced criminal litigation exclusively as a prosecutor, I am very familiar with general trial procedures and rules because many are shared between civil and criminal. I am comfortable in a courtroom and am extremely at ease speaking with jurors.
