Posted by Tom M. | July 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Impossible to find better!

I was facing lengthy jail time for a repeat DUI and at the time also needed heart surgery. Sean negotiated delaying my court date and getting me on an ankle monitor that measured alcohol and made sure I wasn't drinking, which helped me stop drinking before the surgery. At my court date, he fought to ...keep my jail time to two months when it could have been a year or more. I've been out of jail a month and sober for six months. He was totally professional as my attorney and his efforts for me helped me get back on track, He is more than a lawyer to me, He is an understanding and compassionate human being, but he never sugar coated what I had done or what I was facing. He kept it real so I was prepared for the outcome, but he also helped me get my life back.

Incredible service and incredible results!

I can't recommend Sean enough! He was very upfront with me about my traffic ticket and my chances of him dismissing or at least reducing the ticket penalties. I came away highly impressed with his professionalism and demeanor. All the while all I had to do was send him an image of my ticket and he t...ook care of the rest. A few weeks later I heard back from him and my ticket was entirely dropped and no fees were assessed. I couldn't have been more pleased w/ the services he provided and at the level of quality to which he provided them. Would 100% recommend him as an attorney. If he pays this level of attention to all his other cases, I'd go with him in a heartbeat for every other legal issue I have (hopefully none going forward!).

Outstanding attorney

I found myself in the nightmare of being formally accused of something I did not do. (I'm sure a lot of people say that just to sound innocent, but I truly hadn't done anything illegal at all.) Having never been in any kind of trouble before, I was terrified to be in a position where not only was I f...acing a potential criminal record, but also in which no one would listen to me when I tried to tell them I'd not done anything wrong. Sean listened, though, and not just because I was his client. He truly heard me and believed me, and when the time came, he represented me before the district attorney and had the charge dropped within a couple days -- a pretty impressive turnaround, given how busy/slow the DA is where I live. I thought my life as I knew it was over, that I would lose my job and never be able to get another, and I was completely despondent until Sean became involved with my case. His brilliance and professionalism cannot be understated, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. He knows that the legal system is a numbers game for the prosecutors and will always help out those who find themselves in its crosshairs. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Traffic Citation

I was charged with improper backing resulting in an accident, however the other car was also backing out of s garage while I was in the street. Sean got the charges dropped.

Exceptional Attorney

Sean is an exceptional lawyer who is detailed oriented and very strategic in how he approaches his cases. He has represented me during my accident case. No matter how many times or what the hours were that I had called, he patiently answered every single question. He followed up and always asked m...e the most important question every time before a meeting started, "how are you feeling?" That goes a long way for me.
