This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolutely amazing

I had exhausted a of my options before hiring a lawyer and after speaking to Sean in our consultation I had nothing but confidence that he could get everything done. He gave very sound and clear guidance and explained how everything was going to work. He was extremely thorough on explaining every det...ail. Everything worked out perfectly and I couldn't have asked for better representation. If you need a lawyer. He is the one you need to go with. If I need any other legal guidance. I will be hiring him again!

Mr. Maye saved my life!

Not sure if i should add more than the title, but if you want an attorney that will fight against the state and not back down an inch, he's the only Attorney you should consider. Trust me, whatever price agreement you come to on your case, the services Sean provides is above and beyond anything you p...aid. I cannot ever repay Sean for what he has done for my family and I!

Amazing counsel. Hire Sean immediately!

As an independent contractor, I pride myself on doing excellent work and maintaining solid relationships with my partners. When my first and only contractual dispute arose, I was beside myself with panic and fear. I immediately reached out to Sean. He was kind, calm, and resolute. His advice and coun...sel successfully resolved the dispute, calmed my nerves, and helped me sleep soundly once again. I couldn't recommend Sean highly enough.

Hi Abby, I am glad that the legal work I provided not only resolve your dispute but helped you sleep better. I hope to work with you again in the future.

Excellent representative

Sean represented me on a complicated DUI in 2018 in Florida. I had never been in trouble with the law before then and was very anxious. Sean not only made me feel reassured that I would have valid defenses, but that I would get the best outcome possible. Sean not only successfully argued several M...otions to Suppress on my case but also helped me get my license back at a license reinstatement hearing with the DMV, after officers incorrectly claimed I refused to provide a breath sample and incorrectly revoked my license. Sean has a genuine approach and answered all of my questions that I had for him and was available when I called him. You can trust him with any information you need to communicate with him which made me feel more comfortable with him representing me. I am grateful for the work that Sean did on my case, and I would highly recommend him for any DUI or other criminal cases.

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.
