A+++ Business Litigation, Complex Civil Litigation

Sean is a 5-star attorney who solved my multi-year, highly complex business matter. From day one, he put all of the effort in to understand each and every aspect of the case. He provided sound advice and support throughout the litigation. He was always available in person, via email, or by phone and ...was extremely responsive. He explained all of the processes involved and answered every one on my questions to my satisfaction. All options were always explained and I was consulted before any action was ever taken. It was a real pleasure working with him. If you have a complex business matter and want to achieve the most favorable outcome with no surprises, Sean is your guy.

"Attorney Lavin exemplifies the very best attributes of an active attorney and a level of professionalism, confidence and skill we should all aspire to. Honesty, dedication and a love of the law, which means. giving back to others who lack our understanding of the law and benefit from our inherent desire to provide the right answer. The thousands years of combined legal experience of professionals activity participating in this forum represent some of the very best of our profession, which is after all, at its base is desire to help those in need. This Attorney’s experience and knowledge, I believe, demonstrates that there is a desire to provide to provide accurate advice and obtain appropriate results for clients. Most importantly, this Attorney is willing to help complete strangers (as is the case in this forum) with legal problems for which we collectively provide useful information, thereby demystifying the legal process as much as possible. I would recommend this Attorney w"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
