Sean Clarke was incredible. I had originally just asked for a simple witnessing of a document signing but it ended up turning into a few months of horrors for me. He stayed on being completely understanding of my situation. Great communication, great at getting things done quickly as he can for you. I highly recommend Sean and if I needed a lawyer again I would definitely use him again.

At the start of my case I was assigned a lawyer who was really great but then when she left I was assigned a lawyer (name starts with S) who was really hard to deal with. His communication was so bad that I was absolutely stressed out. The breaking point came for me when on the court date he had taken leave and he didn't bother to inform me. I was extremely unhappy about this and his advice was "find another lawyer". Which I did, and was the best decision for me!!!
