Terrible Trial Performance

Sean does a great job of gaining your trust. He's seems like your advocate when you are in the his office - his performance in the court room is completely different. After preparing for trial and having a "game plan", he ditched it all on trial day. It was as if he threw it out the door. My ex...perience with Sean has me jaded and mistrusting of lawyers. Sean says one thing and does another. He boasts knowledge and understanding, but it soon becomes apparent he may not understand as much as he would want you to believe. We really trusted his judgement, but his strategy involved putting us in a more vunerable position, resulting in a prison sentence. Perhaps he doesn't have reviews here b/c inmates don't have access to the Internet. Please find someone else for criminal trial needs.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
