Sean A Nicholson

I hired Sean after speaking with about five other lawyers. I liked that he was no-nonsense and direct with me, which helped me face the dire situation I was in. It was my first DUI but I had a high alcohol amount and did not act so nicely to the cops. Sean calmed me down and walked me through the ...process I would face. When he wasn't available by phone, Leslie was or he answered by e-mail.. I got a great deal and awesome help. Thank you Pacific Defender!

I'm going to preface this by saying don't be an idiot and commit a hit and run. Unfortunately that is exactly what I did. Long story short, no one got hurt and I got a misdemeanor for my crime. I hired Sean after reading his firm's testimonials and I wasn't sure what to expect from a legal standp...oint. Fortunately, Sean alleviated all my concerns and charged a very fair rate, especially with the outcome that I essentially got a driving infraction and my misdemeanor dismissed. His email replies are timely and punctual and he will absolutely fight for the best deal for you. I've seen some of the other testimonials and despite the fact that my charges weren't as severe as others, but I was still worried about myself. I didn't know what to expect but he definitely exceeded my expectations in retrospect. Sean is a highly recommended lawyer for criminal defense and I will come back to him for any other help. I just hope it won't come down to that in the future!

Both of you went above and beyond in resolving this horrible and embarrassing mistake I made. He was cheaper than all other firms and was professional in all his dealings with us. He was knowledgeable in everything concerning my case and it was resolved exactly how he explained during our first conve...rsation. We can’t thank you enough for your attentiveness and compassionate understanding. I would recommend your firm without hesitation to anyone in need of some honest help. Thank You

I was cited for a misdemeanor drug possession, then the DA amended the charges to possession for SALES. AFTER I got clean and straightened out my life. With my record, this could have been devastating. While the case was still pending, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Not only did I stand to ...lose the life I worked so hard to rebuild, but if they had put me in custody, I wouldn't have been here for my mom, who was dying and needed me more than ever. Every good thing in my life rested in the hands of my attorney. Sean Nicholson took a case that could have ended with me in prison for many years and convinced them to drop it back down to a misdemeanor, and give me two years of COURT (unsupervised) probation. NO JAIL TIME. AND fines and fees were waived. I hadn't dared to even HOPE for such a good outcome. I literally could not have asked for more. The only way it gets better than that is an outright dismissal, which, in this case, was NEVER going to happen, because they had me dead to rights. This attorney may not win any awards for being Mr. Congeniality, but don't be fooled - he will FIGHT for you. He saved my life as I know it, and because of him, I was at HOME, holding my mother's hand when she passed. There are no words that can adequately express my gratitude. If you want a lawyer that will do the very best by you, and won't settle for less, hire Sean Nicholson.

Flier Lawyer. He was the cheapest; 2.tk for pretrial 5k for trial was he offer for his service. Initial 30 minutes phone consultation / sales was good with empty possibilities. after hiring, the work he put in was next to none: two meetings were held at court; he knew next to nothing about the mat...erials given to him. The worst part: I told him from the start that I wanted to go to trial. At the pretrial, he pressured me in accepting a plea deal I had no idea it's implications. Here how he did it: 1. He told me that it was much better than what he expected. You should take it . You have to give me an answer in the next few minutes. 2. I said "no", he said the following: If you don't take listen to me why do you even hired me. If you want to go to trial I will have to charge another 10k and my calendar is full; it will need be push back for another couple of months. He never explained the guilty pleas consequences and even downplay it. I desperately wanted the pain to stop for me and the people who care about me. I now realize that's how he maximize his profit for the minimum of work. For my case, I believe he spent less than two hours of his time, plus the courts waiting time. He was the attorney on record for almost half the the cases when I had court. He is little better than the court appointed but not by much. I'm suffering for my decision I made with his help. Others should aware how he works so they don't make the same mistakes. I asked him to give me back my case material . He resfused. I forgive him so I can move on. Good luck hunting for a good lawyer.
