Excellent attorney!

Our law firm represents a business in Illinois for several corporate matters. When the business owner's daughter received a speeding ticket in the State of Washington we were put in contact with Sean Bratner to work as the local attorney in the matter. Attorney Bratner got the ticket dismissed comple...tely! He also stayed in contact with us and kept us informed on throughout the entire matter. We highly recommend Attorney Sean Bratner if you have a matter to be handled around the State of Washington!

Worth It.

Sean Bratner was great! My case had some hiccups that did not look to promising for my DUI future, but Sean turned it around. He went out of his way to help me and for that I am grateful. I would recommend Sean as a great attorney and the one you would like by your side in court.

Great experience

Sean represented me in a DUI case in King county. I have contacted many lawyers before selecting Sean. One of the most important things that impressed me was his knowledge and how he distilled it to me and answered all my questions. He was very genuine and we set realistic goals and he achieved it.... My breath analysis was .114 and he got me the least possible sentence. During the entire process he kept me informed of what was to come and what was going on. This communication made the whole experience less stressful and more positive. I should also say that even after the case was done, he checked with me a couple of times to inform me about the license suspension dates. He genuinely cares about this clients and it shows. I definitely recommend him to everyone.

Knowledgeable Attorney Who Produces Results

Sean handled two traffic violations for me. Upon initial meeting (for my first violation), he was able to very clearly articulate the implications that I was facing and the best course of action to take. After he was able to negotiate that violation to a non-moving, I was caught a second time. For... the second violation, Sean was again able to describe the situation and advise on the best approach to success. Through his skill and experience, Sean was able to completely dismiss the second violation. His professionalism and approach can't be beat, I highly recommend Sean Bratner.

Highly Recommended

No one ever really expects or plans to get a DUI, so it can be overwhelming and a bit terrifying. That said, my fears were put to ease by Sean, who is both warm and professional. His immense knowledge of the law, my options, and the process (with both the court and the DOL) was incredibly comforting.... He was able to guide me down the best available path with the court and even managed to get the DOL to dismiss my license suspension. This process was far less painful than it could have been, and I firmly believe that was because I chose to hire Sean.
