About Sean
Biography
I have been practicing law for the last decade, and absolutely love it. I got a bit of a late start, spending time as a correctional officer and a network engineer before deciding what I want to be when I grow up. I graduated from the University of Idaho College of Law at the age of 38. My first 8 years of practice were at the Washoe County District Attorney's office. I have worked the last two years with Joey Gilbert Law as the head of the criminal law department. I am now opening my own office with the help of my loving and supporting wife. I will be focusing on criminal law, but will also handle personal injury, immigration, and select business law cases.

Do not hire
DO NOT hire this lawyer. The judge had to explain to him how to file the correct paperwork. He refused to return phone calls and emails for 3 months and even changed a court date and did not notify me. I found out while I was checking in to court that day. He literally closed his doors (to start anot...

Great outcome thanks to Atty. Neahusan
Sean was able to reduce my five charges down to one that allowed me to retain my license and provided a positive outcome going forward. He also exhausted every option in order to get me my desired outcome as well. I would highly recommend Sean for your legal needs.

Thank you!
Sean did a outstanding job getting an old case dismissed. I was really stressed out and in a rough spot, he really helped me. I’d recommend him to anyone, and hire him all over again if I had to. Thanks again Sean!
