Sean has spent the majority of his legal career devoting his practice to representing those who have been injured by the reckless and negligent actions of others. Sean started handling personal injury cases after being involved in a serious car accident himself several years ago. Sean quickly saw the chaos that ensues when you are seriously injured and forced to miss work and other life events.

Sean has built a reputation for being respectful, charismatic, and honest, but at the same time aggressive and unwilling to compromise. Sean personally handles every single aspect of his clients cases and that is the key difference between him and other attorney's. Since 2012, Sean has handled hundreds of cases and recovered millions of dollars in settlements for his clients.

Sean is currently admitted to practice law in all Kentucky state courts and the Western District of Kentucky federal court. His primary focus is Personal Injury - car accidents, motorcycle accidents, animal bites, nursing home abuse, premises liability, products liability, and medical malpractice cases.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
