This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Worst freaking lawyer ever.

This dude clearly has no idea what he's doing. Likely cheated his way through college by copying his roommate's homework. Oh... and he claims to be a "recovered" alcoholic. That's bs.

Fast, efficient, and friendly

Sean was fabulous during a very trying time. I was overwhelmed with the situation and he made a complicated process easy to understand and, most importantly, far less intimidating. He was very accessible and knowledgeable about the best methods for solving my problem. I would definitely work with ...Sean in the future.

Exceptional lawyer!

I can never say enough great things about Sean. I live moved outside of the country in January and had to handle a misdemeanor traffic violation while out of the country. Sean's attention to detail, customer service focused attitude and ability to get things done quickly and painlessly made my lega...l matter go away quickly. He is personable, extremely intelligent, dedicated, real and full of integrity. I believe he can do just about anything.

Effective Advocate...

Sean acted as a skilled and effective advocate on my behalf to reinstate my driving privileges, after they were suspended earlier this year. During my initial consultation, Sean helped me understand the exact process through which I would have to go and what a best possible outcome could be. ...After of guiding me through the clearing a bench warrant, paying off collections, obtaining an emissions test, and renewing car tabs, Sean demonstrated a sound understanding of the law during my actual court appearance. Aside from the skill and care with which Sean handled my case, his flat fee was clear up front and provided peace of mind for all costs involved. I would recommend Mr. Nyberg without reservation to anyone in a similar situation.
