After being injured by a automobile accident, I tried to navigate the maze of insurance claims myself. It was very frustrating. A year after the accident I retained Sean to sort through everything. Within six months my claim was settled and I received monetary compensation from both my insurer and the driver's, which I had not expected. Sean and his staff were professional, prompt, compassionate and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend working with Sean if you have a personal injury claim.

Criminal Defense
Sean Wickens is an honorable, honest and trustworthy Attorney. I was referred to him by another attorney. He immediately understood what I needed and expected of him as my attorney, kept me informed of progress in the case. Mr Wickens' word is his bond, something you do not see much of anymore. Thanks Sean for a job well done!

Very Knowledgeable, Aggresive Representation
A legal maneuver by the courts caused a conflict of interest and forced Mr. Wickens to excuse himself as my attorney. His zealous representation meant that he had become a material witness in my case. I had to hire another attorney. I wish I could have ridden out the case with Mr. Wickens. If you want a hard working, honest attorney that wont sell you out, this is the lawyer for you

A true professional you want on your side.
Sean was a referral to me from another attorney. I was impressed with him right away, but asked around anyway. I found he is well known in the Tacoma area and I heard a lot of good things about his abilities and knowledge as an attorney from other lawyers. I did not get the impression that they were just saying this out of professional courtesy either. A very well know criminal defense lawyer related to me that Sean is one of the best in the area...I can say I agree.
Sean is an experienced trial lawyer that has a thorough understanding of the law and has a very keen analytical ability...you want all that working for you. It made a big difference in my case. You need the right lawyer and I strongly endorse Sean as a former client.
Its people like Sean that make a difference. He is a true professional and a man with integrity. Become a student of your case and follow his counsel. Its money well spent. Be patient. Be thorough. Pick Sean.

Good Job
When I met Sean I was a wreck. Sean calmed me down to get what happened from me. By the time Sean finished talking to me that day I knew I could trust. The D.A. pushed us into a corner Sean pushed back. Sean made it clear this would be going to court. Sean said he didn't know for a fact he could win but he would give it his all and thats all I could ask. Sean went above and beyond that of a lawyer keeping me calm and confident. When we went to court I was nervous. The tactic Sean used he didn't even let me know what was going on until afterwards. He did an incredible job in the court room that day. I could never thank him enough for what he did. I told everyone I know if they need a lawyer he is the man.
