From the beginning, I never had to question his ethics or his values. Right up front he let me know that if I didn’t make anything he wouldn’t make anything. And that whatever the settlement amount is, he doesn’t ever take more than his client even when he’s entitled to. He’s not in it just for what he can get financially. You’re an even partner in a trusting, respectful, friendly relationship.

It’s a great feeling to know you’ve got a guy that’s really leading the situation, someone who has worked in both defense and prosecution and really understands the strategy on both sides. He’s a tiger. Going into the deposition I knew he wouldn’t be sidelined or unprepared. He’s friendly but authoritative and everyone knew he wouldn’t be run over. He played our cards right and let them know we were prepared to take this to a jury if need be. They heard that.

“A diamond in your pocket.”

Sean took a little gamble that paid off. I had a torn shoulder from the accident but had previously had shoulder problems. Sean requested calls with 2 physicians, very expensive calls, and their feedback dissolved the one thing the other side’s insurance company could have tried to use against us.

We actually settled for more than Sean had anticipated. He pulled up similar cases to frame our expectations, and the one he thought was most similar only yielded half of what we got in the end.

After the settlement was finished and Sean had received his portion, I still had to pay my insurance company. And Sean managed to negotiate a lower payment for me. He wasn’t even being paid to do it. He had already finished his job and just went above and beyond.

Knowing Sean, if anything like this ever happened again, I feel like I have a diamond in my pocket with a phone number attached to it. Honest, authentic, sincere, generous and brilliant. He’s a buddy and a confidant.

Sean took care of everything. It was seamless. I got to focus on my healing and he took care of everything else. It was surprising how easy he made it to work with him.

So the second time, the second accident, I literally told my husband from the ambulance, ‘Call Sean.’ Because I knew that all the legal stuff, Sean’s got it covered. I can focus on comfort and healing.

He did everything right. He always took my calls, he was always patient, understanding. He explained all the options, and he was very helpful. He was always concerned about what I felt about every single penny. He could have pushed me to go to trial to try and get more money but he just wanted to do what made me feel comfortable.

“Call Sean.”

We never had to go to trial. And the money I got back was fair and then some. Everything I spent I was able to get back and then I got money on top of that. And Sean factored future medical problems into the equation because you can’t predict what will happen in the future but he can factor that into the settlement.

After the case closed, I was having trouble getting records from the physical therapist and Sean said, ‘Let me make a phone call, I’ll take care of it.’ And he did. No charge.

He’s a partner, a partner in recovery. That’s what a personal injury attorney should be. Because of Sean I was able to 100% focus on healing.

I’ve referred him to 3 or 4 people because I know for sure, they are in good hands. This is someone you can trust who is going to take care of a portion of your life that needs to be fixed. Everyone needs someone they can call on in times of a crisis. For me, it’s Sean.

APRIL He came with enough time to answer all of our questions. And if we weren’t understanding, he would explain it another way.

ELSA He’s very patient. Some other lawyers were in the emergency room and would come upstairs to my room asking questions and saying I don’t have to understand now, I could sign now and they’d explain later. I didn’t trust them.

APRIL While she was in pain they came up to her room! They smell blood. Even after she got home and had signed with Sean, we both got phone calls from lawyers trying to get my mom’s case!

ELSA I was so worried about the bills. Hospitals are expensive!

APRIL So we sent Sean all of the bills and he took care of them. He figured out we could use the car insurance to cover some of the bills and private insurance to cover some more of the bills. And he knows what he can negotiate. Most people don’t know that you can get your medical bills reduced and Sean negotiated that for us. I wouldn’t know where to start. He was a superstar when it came to handling insurance and bills.

“He was a lifesaver..”

ELSA I felt like we were a team. If I didn’t understand because of my English, he let April take her time to translate and explain everything to me so we could make decisions. All three of us were a team.

APRIL I’m an only child so it felt great knowing that I could reach out to him any time. If I texted him I would have a response within the hour. He’s so accommodating. He would always work around our schedule so we didn’t have to work around his or go downtown.

ELSA Because Sean was on my team, I was at peace. I knew that everything was going to be ok.

APRIL We didn’t even think about my mom being in pain and having to retire 5 years early. But we settled in less than a year and Sean got us more than we expected, we got money for pain & suffering in addition to covering the hospital bills.

ELSA He was a lifesaver. He’s an honest person and a caring person.

APRIL We had a big dinner to celebrate. We toasted Sean, had champagne.

ELSA We didn’t know what to do to thank him enough.
