Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 30

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Sean was my professor in law school and by far the most knowledgeable I have ever come across. His criminal procedure and post conviction courses changed the way I viewed the entire legal system. I can't say I have ever come across a better man or a better lawyer, nor have I seen one so passionate about the law and teaching."

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.
