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.

Timely and Professional

Sean went over and above. His first priority was making sure I was on the road to recovery. Did what he could to relieve stress over the financial side from me so all I needed to worry about was to fully recover. Sean looked into the accident tracked down witness' and was able to push the insurance c...ompanies to pay full policy amounts.

A job well done

Help me out a lot. Was very proactive, always responded to myself and my mother. Made sure I was doing what I needed to help get myself out of as much trouble as I could. Knew how I needed to act to what people and helped me know how to respond to questions I was asked. Was very understanding with my... situation and knew how to work with me. Very happy all together

Someone I would trust for anything

When I first got into trouble I had no idea who to call for legal help. On the advice of a family friend I called Sean and from our first phone call I knew I had made the right decision. Even though I was at fault his initial comments were to make sure I was ok and to try and put me at ease. Then ...he immediately went into action to get a letter sent to the courts as quickly as possible to avoid license suspension. I sent Sean my paperwork and met with him a couple days later to discuss the case. He said we had a battle In front of us but right off the bat began explaining holes he had found in it. It was not a sure thing and there were obviously risks involved but when he explained his investigator to me and his knowledge of the courts in my county I really felt very comfortable and hired him as my council. The final outcome of my case was more than I could have asked for. First with my license Sean was able to talk with the arresting officer and get him to sign for a lesser charge so that it wasn't suspended. My first court case I didn't see very much of him, but that was only because he spent that time with the prosecuting attorney and worked out a plea deal to reduce my dui to reckless driving. My final court case involved Sean convincing the judge to accept the plea deal...which he did. In no way am I walking away from this without repurcussion but the alternative way this could have turned out is beyond compare. Sean saved my license, my job and my family...not to mention my sanity. On top of everything else he always wanted to make sure my children and I were ok. Without hesitation I would recommend Sean to anyone, family and friends, for any type of legal need. He literally saved my life while at the same time showing I think a true concern for my well being during the entire process. Thank you Sean.

Sean Park made a very difficult time in my life more bearable and turned it into a victory!

I met Sean under dire circumstances when I felt like a victim who had no rights and had no hope of making my situation better. I was involved in a car accident where I was rear ended and although I had minimal property damage I had pre-existing back injuries that was thrown over the edge with this a...ddition trauma. I was in extreme pain and when I went to my neuro surgeon and had an MRI the results revealed that I now had a collapsed disc to add to my existing problems which made my life a living hell being in constant pain. I had no plans of hiring a lawyer until the third parties insurance co preceded to act like I was making the whole injury up and that there was no way I could have had this happen in this accident because of the minimal damage done to my car. They made made me feel like I was the enemy and not the victim and that's when my friend recommended Sean's firm. We met by accident but from the first time we spoke he made me feel like I had rights and was important and gave me hope! He was very knowledgable and informative and personable and made me feel like I was in very capable hands. He was always on top of things and was easily accessible and explained things to where I understood at all times what was going on. He took on my case when anyone else probably would have walked away because it seemed like a lost cause but he never let me give up hope! We actually won my case with the maximum limit possible and more to boot and helped me get the appropriate medical care I needed and always was available for advice even after my case was finalized! I would totally recommend his services to anyone for any case they presented because of his zest for the law and justice. He truly enjoys what he does and does it for the right reasons not just the financial side of it! I will always appreciate what he did for me going far and beyond what was normally required to win my case by making me feel important and deserving! Thanks again for helping me when no one else would, u are a Angel of Mercy! I wish u all the luck and success in this world in ur new practice! U deserve the best! Sincerely Kimberly

"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."
