Sean Maye

I am an experienced trial attorney.  In criminal defense, I have a winning trial record and have litigated all types of matters - including homicide, sex assault, large-scale indictments under the Colorado Organized Controlled Crimes Act (COCCA) and DUI.  As a civil litigator, I am skilled in contract and insurance disputes, as well as family law, personal injury and wills & trusts. *** 

I have been selected as a "Top 40 Under 40" criminal defense attorney in Colorado by the National Trial Lawyers Association, as well as a Super Laywer "Rising Star" by Thomson Reuters.

I began my career as an Assistant Public Defender with the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office in Miami, Florida. There, I served as first-chair counsel for clients charged with misdemeanor and felony charges. I represented clients at all stages of litigation, including bond hearings, pre-trial constitutional, evidentiary and procedural motions, as well as trial, sentencing, and appeals.

​In 2017, I got married, started a family, and switched over to civil and corporate litigation. As an Associate with Isriel Ponzoli, P.A., I specialized in first-party property insurance disputes and in defending usury challenges to a major global financing corporation’s merchant-sales agreements. In civil practice, I again specialized in trial litigation, which involved drafting persuasive contracts and settlement agreements, defending family law disputes, litigating complex DUIs, and drafting wills and other probate materials.

​My family and I relocated to Denver in 2018. When starting my career here in Colorado, it was my goal to get to know all of the judges, and to learn Colorado law from the ground up. I joined the Denver Public Defender’s Office and, after one month of several successful DUI and domestic violence trial verdicts, was promoted to District Court. As now a seasoned District Court lawyer in Denver, I have represented clients on all felony charges, including complex Colorado Organized Crimes Act (COCCA) indictments, sex assaults, and homicides.

​During this time, I have also represented individuals on personal matters, such as drafting wills, advising on insurance disputes, and negotiating contracts.
