Sean B. Malcolm. 

My trial practice focuses on serious personal injury and wrongful death.  We also defend accused persons at trial in select instances.

I gained experience as a defense attorney at Davis, Wright, Tremaine, LLP and a boutique litigation law firm in Seattle, Washington.  I gained my initial trial experience in criminal defense as a public defender in King County, WA.  I won my first trial while I was still a law student, after being appointed by the court to represent an accused person.  Prior to law school, I owned a forestry business in British Columbia, Canada.

When not working, I am herded by my two miniature Australian shepherds, Sadie and Chloe.

Beat a long tough Marijuana DUI Charge with many nuances
Sean helped defend me in a Marijuana DUI charge in King County District Court and Superior Court. The case was long with many odd occurrence which Sean handled well. The case actually went to trial and key mistakes were made by the prosecution. An appeal occurred which eventually caused the charge to be dismissed. Great job Sean!

Sean Malcolm is a Great Attorney
I had a motorcycle accident. Sean prevented my insurance company and that of the person who hit me from screwing me out of tens of thousands of dollars. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails and telephone calls, always patient, always collaborative. He explained legal technicalities so that they were easily understood. In short: Sean Malcolm is all that one should expect from an excellent attorney...and more.

Thank you, Sean Bennet Malcolm
Sean worked on a residential real estate negotiation issue for me. Throughout the negotiations, I found Sean to be highly conscientious. In all our dealings, he was thorough, responsive, personable, honest and direct. I recommend Sean to anyone seeking legal council in many areas. He will be representing me in an upcoming legal matter.

Sean Malcolm is an excellent lawyer!
Sean is both an excellent transactional lawyer and litigator. His broad array of skills is a rare find in an attorney. When he drafted a new contract for my small business it became clear that he pays attention to detail and stays abreast of new laws. I have consulted with Sean on many legal matters. His compassion for people and sheer drive for success will keep me a loyal client!

Bright lawyer and well researched
Sean helped me on my DWLS case. I wasn't expecting an NVOL in my case, but he got it. I never saw a criminal lawyer pull out the research he did and take my case from so many angles. He is good in court and I highly recommend him. Worth every penny.
