Excellent Outcome

Mr. Connolly provided excellent service for a recent citation. He not only knows DOT, Trucking and Permitting law, he UNDERSTANDS them. His involvement in my case has resulted in tremendous savings.

Incredible

As the addage goes " In a Heartbeat" I originally retained one attorney that wanted to do whatver the prosecutor wanted and actually apologized for bothering the prosecutor with me sitting there watching. I dismissed this attorney and by whatever reason you wish to choose, I found Mr. Sean Connolly. ...We had the service to our country as a common attribute. But, I could talk to him. He did not dismiss me or try to get the details and get rid of me as quickly as he could. We talked. Not only about my case but, simple human issues. He cares and is one of us. Meaning he takes the time to listen. He took my case and in the end it was dismissed. He knew how to acheive this dismissal and the prosecutor could only see blood in the water the first time I went to court and personally told me to my face in the form of a threat that she would not accept anything other than my prosecution to full extent of the law. " Egg on her face" after Mr. Connolly represented me. Thank You Sean THANK YOU!

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.
