About

How I Can Help YouAs a former Deputy District Attorney in Colorado, I have an insight into the inner workings of the DA’s office, as well as the entire criminal justice system. Because there are such a large caseloads in Larimer County, Weld County, and the Denver metro area, prosecutors have to analyze the cases on their docket quickly and make rushed decisions. Many Coloradoans and visitors to our state face criminal charges without the assistance of a lawyer, and feel they have no other choice than to take the deal-- a decision many regret years, months or even days later.As a criminal defense lawyer, it is my goal to educate each client on the charges they face, possible penalties, and the judicial process. I work to protect my clients rights and help them make informed decisions in reaching the best possible outcome. Education I attended Lipscomb University, a private, liberal arts university in Nashville, Tennessee, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and German. I then moved across the country to earn my Juris Doctorate at the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law. Experience I left law school with the strong desire to serve the community, so I became a Deputy District Attorney. As a prosecutor, I managed hundreds of criminal cases and tried dozens of those cases before juries. Since entering private practice as a criminal defense attorney in 2013 I have consistently and effectively defendant clients charged with violent crimes, sex offenses, DUI and DWAI, domestic violence enhancers, child abuse, drug crimes and crimes against property.  I invest extra time to continuing education in the areas of criminal defense, criminal procedure and evidence so as to provide a top quality legal practice year after year.

We hired Sean to represent our son in a drug related charge. It was our family's first experience with criminal charges. Like many families (I'm sure), we were stunned when the event happened so we were overwhelmed with the process and needed to make quick decisions in a short timeframe. We quickly interviewed several attorneys whose names recommended by our professional and personal network. Sean and his firm were by far the most responsive and respectful of those that we interviewed. We feel as though our first impression was right on. We appreciated Sean's rapid response to assist our son, since we were out of town when the event took place. Sean took the time to do the little things (e.g. well-timed phone calls and emails) to ensure that our son was comfortable, to keep the appropriate parties in the loop, and to ensure that charges in the case were appropriately reduced. More than anything else, we appreciated Sean's professionalism, though it is clear that Sean has a strong professional network and working relationship within Larimer County, which helps him support his clients. If you and your family ever find yourself in a similar situation, we couldn't recommend a better advocate for you. Sean understands the law, and unlike most attorneys based upon our experience in civil cases (and even when we've served as witnesses in criminal cases), he will take the time to answer your questions to ensure that you understand his approach. This cultivates a relationship of trust that can often be difficult to achieve in a lawyer-client relationship. We'd describe ourselves as particular and self-reliant professionals. We've represented ourselves quite successfully in legal matters pertaining to civil, small claims, and tax court. We have experience being retained as expert witnesses. Because of these experiences, we are naturally a bit critical; in fact, most of the time we'd prefer to read the law and take care of things ourselves . However, it is our pleasure to give Sean the highest level of endorsement, because he truly is an excellent attorney and professional. We wish that he had a broader practice base, because we'd like to work with him in other venues. We hope that this review encourages others to work with Sean during their hour of need.

In my experience Mr. Harrell did an exceptional job representing me. He took the time to learn everything he possibly could about my case all the while being understanding and supportive. He is incredibly reliable, capable, and knowledgeable and is a very eloquent speaker and all of these qualities culminated into someone I felt represented me in the best way possible. If I ever need a lawyer again in the future he will be at the top of my list.

Sean was the third lawyer we hired to fight a juvenile sex crime my son was accused of. He was the first who was willing to help us fight for justice. He took his time to understand our situation and listen to what was important to us. He very clearly explained the situation and all of our options. He was easily accessible to answer all of our questions and did so quickly. He does his job well and we appreciated having him on our side.

Sean Harrell believed in my innocence when the police and justice system failed to see the truth and decided I was guilty of a crime I did not commit. Mr. Harrell was able to convince the courts that I was innocent, which granted me a dismissal. He is an outstanding attorney, who treated me with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Sean got me a deferred sentence on a misdemeanor charge that was essentially an accident. He was also very caring and sympathetic towards me in my time of need. I never had trouble keeping in contact with him directly or otherwise, he was very accessable to me. I learned the hard way that you should never call the cops on yourself, even when you're just worried about the safety of your neighbors, because they don't care. Sean also got my record sealed without me having to appear in person or over the phone. He did a great job for a flat rate. I would gladly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help in his area/s.

When I met with Sean and spoke about my case he listened and ask questions to make sure he had all the facts. He sat down with me and gave me all of the facts and never pressured me in to making any decisions that I did not want. With the best of his abilities he was able to give me information of possible outcomes.
