Hello my friend. If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, you've come to the right attorney. I have nearly 20 years experience and have prosecuted, clerked for judges, and started my own law firm nearly 17 years ago. I have had the opportunity of arguing in front of nearly every court in the state, even the Supreme Court, and have won at all levels. Rather than snooze you with all my credentials like Law Review and publishing different articles, which has nothing to do with how I can make a difference on YOUR case, let me just say that I am eager to help you meet your objectives, whatever they may be. The number one compliment I get from clients is that I communicate well with them and keep them in the loop the entire time, so they know how their case is progressing and they know I care about them and their family. Give me a call and let's chat about what I can do to help you! Sean

I attended college at the University of Utah, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree in English and French. I then attended law school at the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law, graduating in the top third of class with my juris doctorate in 2014. I took and passed the Utah State Bar Exam later that summer, and shortly thereafter I went into private practice, working primarily as family/domestic law litigator and criminal defense attorney. After nearly nine years in family law and criminal defense, I decided to move into practice areas other than family/domestic law. As a result, in November 2023, I was fortunate enough to join the highly esteemed and successful law firm of Goebel Anderson PC, where I am practicing general commercial litigation.

George has represented many people over the years, recovering over $300 million dollars for his clients in settlements and verdicts, and has reached numerous seven and eight-figure settlements. One of George’s most notable cases involved a trucking accident, which resulted in a wrongful death. George’s client was traveling on the highway, when a semi-truck made a left turn in front of him. He had little time to react, and the impact of the incident killed him. The jury reached a verdict in the case and awarded George’s client and gave his family $58.5 million dollars. This was a major relief to the victim’s family to help for future expenses that would come as a result of losing their father. George is a member of numerous legal organizations.
