Amazing attorney who provided results for our family member

Our son received a serious felony case for drug and weapons charge. The issue with our case is our son was borrowing a car from a friend who had drugs and a firearm inside the vehicle in which our son knew nothing about. The case could of turned very ugly and the person did not want to admit to the p...olice that this was his drugs and firearm. Basically our on was being charged with a crime he knew nothing about. Sean Tabibian from the beginning was very honest about our situation and how ugly this potentially could get. There were many details about this case that would be difficult to explain but at the end Sean worked and kept us informed throughout the case. To make a long story short our case ended up being dismissed and our son can now go back to school and put this behind him. I want to thank Sean for all his hard work and the fact he worked with us on payment our family is very grateful.

Rating:  9.1 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2009

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

Sean’s comment:

“There was never an actual suspension. This issue stemmed from a former client that was trying to get me to handle a murder case without paying the full fees.”
