Great lawyer, nice guy.

Sean is a very knowlegable trust and elder care attorney. I had him handle my mother's trust. He is very caring. A super nice guy which is saying a lot. His assistant Caroline is wonderful too. I've already recomended him to a friend who has questions with his father's trust.

Medi-cal management

Sean was ethical, responsive, fees were very reasonable; since he was actually being retained by my mother he met with her also and made sure she was completely coherent and knew what she was signing. He did everything he said he was going to do and in a very timely manner. He sent me all Medi-cal c...orrespondence. I can't say enough wonderful things about this attorney!!

  • 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.
