This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Would not recommend

Lazy, seems to wait for the last minute, doesn't present evidence, call witnesses or cross examination in defense.His words = I screwed up but I'll file appeal and step away. This will take approximately 18 months, in the meantime you are incarnationed in the state prison, his poor defense effects ...not only the defendant but family as well.

Find a new lawyer

A magistrate in Ohio put a TRO against us IN FLORIDA. Sean said he would challenge jurisdiction of the court but never did. For eight months he allowed us to be harassed with a P.O. in FLORIDA without challenging the Ohio court's order. Then, he dropped out just as a contempt ruling was about to co...me, and left us completely unrepresented. He wouldn't even help us file an appeal form. A paid saboteur couldn't have done less for us.

I wouldn’t recommend

This lawyer encourages and celebrates witness intimidation, blaming innocent victims, and then drags you online in some form when you go against his stance.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He's not putting effort towards reunification.

Sean was appointed to be my attorney for a CPS case. The magistrate found in my favor and he told me I had to wait 10 days to bring my daughter home. That wasn't true. The judge found in my favor and he didn't tell me. It's been a year since my daughter was taken from me and the only hearing w...here he behaved as if he was representing me and not the people trying to take my daughter was when a friend of mine told him he was not my lawyer.

  • 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.
