Honda, Takata consultation!

Hi, I was referred to Mr. Sean Phillip Park, by a very close and reliable friend who is an attorney as well. The difference was that Mr. Park had a licence to practice in Florida. This is where my vechile accident took place. My friend doesnt have a licence there. I realized by my introductory phone... call, that Mr. Park wasnt like the dozen of attorneys that I have previously talked to. I was able to speak directly to him. Not a information intake person who was reading off a written script. He not only asked questions in regards to my accident, but engaged in a sincere adult conversation. He was up front with me in regards to my chances of helping me. He looked under nooks,and crannies to come up with a solution. After weeks of investigating, Mr Park still returned my calls, and gave me great advise. At this point I will be going into a different direction. If something changes, i will jump at the chance to hire Mr. Park. He doesn't give you false promises, or paints a rose garden for you. Not like the other law firms, that promise you have a case. If you have the opportunity to take some time to engage in conversation with Mr. Park, you will attest to every word I said.

Very Professional!

Mr. Park was very professional! He made every transition smooth as possible. He made sure I understood everything that was going on with my case! The best thing is he is licensed in more than 1 state!

Smart and generous

Sean advised us on a thorny claim process, after a hit and run accident. He was generous, candid, lucid, and helpful. Should we have a substantial complaint we need to file at any point, he most certainly has our trust. Thank you, Sean!

Couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Sean park truly helped my family in our time of need. He helped us navigate the complexities of a personal injury case that we otherwise would not have been able to do ourselves. He made us feel at ease that my mother’s case was being appropriately handled and let her focus on recovery. He was compas...sionate about my mothers struggle and open to any question that would help us understand what was going on at any given time.

Brilliant!

Sean was absolutely brilliant with my malpractice case! By far the most outstanding attorney I have ever had. He was extremely professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. In addition to always being prepared, he also made sure that I completely understood what was going on every step of th...e way and without feeling pressured. Legal verbiage can be difficult, but he answered every question I had in ways that I could understand it. He allowed me to make informed decisions throughout the process as well. The case was a difficult malpractice case, and Sean went above and beyond to help me in any way that he could. The case was settled in my favor and I can't thank him enough. I would highly recommend Sean. If I need an attourney again in the future, he will be my first call!

"I highly endorse this lawyer. When Sean was a prosecutor, I had the opportunity to try cases against him as well as negotiate cases for alternative resolutions. I can attest that Sean is a zealous advocate in the courtroom. He is always prepared for trial. When Sean went into private practice I had the occasion and honor to work with him on a case that highly benefited our mutual client. I was very impressed. Sean's experience on both ends of criminal law is a tremendous asset to each client. Sean is well respected by his peers, judges, opposing counsels, and his clients. I have found that all great lawyers have that something special that cannot be taught in law school -- Sean has it. Sean's vast experience in prosecuting and defending cases is not lost in his natural courtroom skills I am honored to share the courtroom with Sean -- a man of character, knowledge, experience, and advocacy -- a lawyer you can trust when your freedom is on the line."

"Sean is not just a talented trial lawyer, he is also an honest, no-nonsense, practical attorney who is very capable in and out of the courtroom. He is one of the few lawyers I would trust to send my closest friends or family members to if they needed a litigator.
