Sean Patrick Harrell

Sean Harrell is an extraordinary criminal defense attorney. I had another lawyer handling my felony case for 9 months, and I was going to trial with her. The dates had all been set. I was innocent and knew I had not received proper representation. I was referred to Sean by Bob P., who had ...been an Assistant DA. Sean was able to take my case, he jumped right in, and at the first hearing, he asked to start the case over. The judge agreed. Within 3 months, Sean was able to discuss the case with the DA, point out some major problems with their case, and they came to an agreement, there was no reasonable likelihood of success at trial—and the case was dismissed. The best news I had received in quite a while!! I am thankful for Sean Harrell. He is honest, hard working, professional, reliable, and does his job very well. Sean made ALL the difference in my case. All the evidence, the DA, the judge, all the same. Sean got my freedom back for me. I am eternally grateful for that. And I must mention his staff, all the people working with him — who are always there, almost always able to get in touch with him, friendly and competent. Highly recommend!!

We hired Sean to represent our son in a drug related charge. It was our family's first experience with criminal charges. Like many families (I'm sure), we were stunned when the event happened so we were overwhelmed with the process and needed to make quick decisions in a short timeframe. We quick...ly interviewed several attorneys whose names recommended by our professional and personal network. Sean and his firm were by far the most responsive and respectful of those that we interviewed. We feel as though our first impression was right on. We appreciated Sean's rapid response to assist our son, since we were out of town when the event took place. Sean took the time to do the little things (e.g. well-timed phone calls and emails) to ensure that our son was comfortable, to keep the appropriate parties in the loop, and to ensure that charges in the case were appropriately reduced. More than anything else, we appreciated Sean's professionalism, though it is clear that Sean has a strong professional network and working relationship within Larimer County, which helps him support his clients. If you and your family ever find yourself in a similar situation, we couldn't recommend a better advocate for you. Sean understands the law, and unlike most attorneys based upon our experience in civil cases (and even when we've served as witnesses in criminal cases), he will take the time to answer your questions to ensure that you understand his approach. This cultivates a relationship of trust that can often be difficult to achieve in a lawyer-client relationship. We'd describe ourselves as particular and self-reliant professionals. We've represented ourselves quite successfully in legal matters pertaining to civil, small claims, and tax court. We have experience being retained as expert witnesses. Because of these experiences, we are naturally a bit critical; in fact, most of the time we'd prefer to read the law and take care of things ourselves . However, it is our pleasure to give Sean the highest level of endorsement, because he truly is an excellent attorney and professional. We wish that he had a broader practice base, because we'd like to work with him in other venues. We hope that this review encourages others to work with Sean during their hour of need.

Sean was the third lawyer we hired to fight a juvenile sex crime my son was accused of. He was the first who was willing to help us fight for justice. He took his time to understand our situation and listen to what was important to us. He very clearly explained the situation and all of our options. H...e was easily accessible to answer all of our questions and did so quickly. He does his job well and we appreciated having him on our side.
