I went to law school just to be a criminal lawyer. I served as a prosecutor for almost 30 years, but defense law was always my true passion. I'm a native Utahn, attended college at the University of Utah, and went to law school at the University of Idaho. Before that, I worked as a radio announcer in Salt Lake City. Prior to that, I served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. I worked as a prosecutor in West Valley City, Provo, Lehi, and Salt Lake County. I have extensive experience as a courtroom lawyer and litigator, having handled thousands of court hearings and trials, earning the trust and respect of the Utah Defense Bar. I am excited to take your case and put all my hard-earned experience to work for you.

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
