Call Sean Forrester

Sean Forrester is literally the best Attorney anyone could ask or hope to have representing them. If we could give more than 5 Stars we would. Sean is super Professional, beyond knowledgeable, realistic, and more than anything he is PREPARED to identify any and all objectives, detours, and outcomes. ...If you need an Attorney that will defend you to the highest regard and investigate all possibilities, call him 1st he will literally be your last call.

Great Advocate

Sean Forrester of the Lerner and Rowe Law Group represented me in a situation I never though I would be in. Because of a really bad decision I made at a low point in my life, I was facing a possible felony charge; I honestly wasn't even thinking of the repercussions of my actions so I was beyond sur...prised to be in this serious of a situation. I had no idea that what I had done could reach the level of a felony and quickly realized that this could have long-lasting and substantial impacts on my career and personal life (voting restrictions, employment and volunteer restrictions etc.). I realized that finding a lawyer I could trust would be paramount in this situation and as I started the search for a lawyer, I was quickly overwhelmed; there are many different types of lawyers that focus on different areas of law, and it was a daunting task to find a professional that I felt I could trust. I met with Sean's team initially and one other law firm (i also spoke with around 6 other law firms on the phone). Sean and his team (specifically Jesse Cervantes) were extremely knowledgeable, straight-forward, patient, and understanding. They worked hard to ensure that I understood the various related parts of the Law, the timeline and next steps of what would happen as my case evolved, and the possible various outcomes I would be facing; note that they did this BEFORE i signed a retainer and was one of the many reasons I ultimately retained Lerner & Rowe. Sean, while not excusing my behavior (which I appreciated), was kind and put everything into context, which helped to ease my extremely worried mind. Jesse Cervantes was extremely patient and understanding; he was also knowledgeable and was able to give me a lot of useful information. I was nervous and emotional and Sean never made me feel rushed; he patiently answered all of my questions and did so in a way that made the complexities of law and legal terminology very easy to digest. Sean's knowledge, patience, straight-forwardness, professionalism and honesty during that initial meeting made me select Sean over the other lawyers and law firms I had talked with and met with (some that wanted 6 times the fee charged by Lerner & Rowe); Sean made me feel that I would be best represented by him and Lerner and Rowe, and I was not disappointed. Sean was in constant communication with me over the 5 months that it took to resolve my case. I was extremely detailed with my questions and follow-up and Sean always quickly responded to questions that I had. He was diligent with reaching out to the police department and the prosecutor proactively, which made the process run smoothly. Sean consistently went above and beyond throughout this case. When we were resolving my case, Sean was extremely thoughtful in his approach and because of a request he made, I was able to avoid having a probationary period. I would never have thought to ask for that adjustment and would have been satisfied as much as I could be with the original intended resolution; because of Sean's advocacy, I got a resolution that was even better than I expected. Sean is without a doubt a true and tireless advocate and ally for his clients, irregardless of the size of the case. I was never once disappointed throughout this entire process; something that I was extremely surprised by given the expectations and general distrust we are taught to have about lawyers. While I joked with him after the case was over that I never wanted to see him again (meaning I never want to get in trouble again), I wouldn't want anyone else by my side in a situation like that. I recommend Sean Forrester wholeheartedly and cannot thank him enough for all he did.
