Excellent Service

I was very pleased with the service I received from Attorney Sean McDermott. I've couldn't have expected a better outcome, my criminal charges were dismissed . I highly recommend attorney and I greatly appreciate his hard work!

Only a heart attack can save us from his incompetence.

This man is about as useful as a wet napkin. As with other reviewers, I was a victim of Sean’s. This man submitted a plea deal that I explicitly rejected because he was too lazy to work the case. He knew I did not agree with what he was going to do so he did not notify me of the court date and never ...even reviewed discovery (or provided it to me) prior to unilaterally removing my right to having a trial. This man should be investigated, fined and disbarred if not arrested for perjury or fraud. I am writing a letter to the Michigan Bar association to complain. Literally an embarrassment to the profession, he cares about as much for his clients as he does for his health…if you get him as an attorney, request another one or represent yourself. Mr. Mcdermott will act in HIS best interest rather than his clients. Truly a scum and the embodiment of what people consider a “BAD LAWYER”.

Client

Do not hire this attorney he is a scam. He pleaded guilty on my behalf without even talking to me. Better off representing yourself he should be investigated scum bag

Amazing lawyer

I’ve hired him for two serious cases nothing crazy and he goes to work EVERY single time to give me a way better outcome. I’ve had tickets for speeding and one for a traffic accident, no injuries, and he went to court for me and basically got it dropped or minimal fee. Thanks Sean!!

Poor communication skills

In my experience, his communication skills were lacking. It took multiple attempts—four emails and three phone calls—before I was able to reach him. Furthermore, when I inquired about a case he handled and requested a comment on the Civil infraction, he seemed disoriented and failed to address my que...ry. Subsequently, when I followed up on the request, his response was quite impolite. Based on this interaction, I would advise against recommending this attorney to anyone. It appears he struggles with basic communication, which could hinder effective representation.
