Attorney Sean Claggett has handled multiple legal issues for me, including personal injury, business, and family matters over the past 10 years. He and his law firm has never let me down. He is one of the few people, let alone an attorney, that his word is his bond. When he says he will fight for your rights and protect your best interests, you know that he will. His professionalism and skill has earned my highest respect for not only as an attorney, but as a person. Sean's leadership skills, confidence, along with his humility has allowed him to assemble an all-star staff that is capable of handling all the details from large to small that often get over looked by much larger, impersonal firms. For me and for anyone that I know (family, friends, business relations), the first call I always make or recommend for ANY legal matter is to the Sean's office. Hands down, Mr. Claggett, along with his staff and associate attorneys, is the best representation you can have for all your legal issues. Thanks again Sean for everything you've done for myself and my family!!!!
I was referred to Sean by my lawyer when my case grew beyond her expertise. Sean and his team were great, keeping me involved and informed. I always felt welcome, well cared for and never rushed when I went to his office. His top staff always kept me in the loop and never made me feel like I was bothering them or wasting their time. Sean really knows his law and is very aggressive with the opposing side which gave me a ton of confidence that all would work out well with my case and it did. Thank you Sean, Brandi, Laura and all of the rest of the Claggett-Sykes awesome staff. Mary Lou
I was involved it a auto vs bicycle accident in 2001 with substantial injury. What seemed like a simple case got very involved when the legal firm representing the auto drivers insurance decided that their client turning left into oncoming traffic had little to due with the injuries incurred by going through the windsheild of the car, and were just normal for a 59 year old, and the broken teeth should have been expected since years ago "Do you remember your dentist telling you that you have gum disease?"!! The representatives of the insurance company were very difficult to deal with, and if I had not involved Claggett & Sykes, I doubt that I would have been compensated enough to recover medical expenses. The offer they made was rediculously low, and at a time that medical bills were still coming in! I am very satisfied with the way they handled my case.
My experience with Sean and his team was outstanding. He was my lawyer for a personal injury case and he helped me through a very difficult time and got me a settlement that I am very happy with.
Sean helped me form my LLC in 2005 and since that time has been my legal confidant. I have always been able to rely on Sean and his staff; they have always responded promptly to my inquires and resolve matters quickly. When things cannot be resolved, Sean is not afraid to put on the gloves and fight for his clients.
When I came to Sean after a bad car accident, he reviewed my situation and began representing me. The insurance company said I was faking my injuries and that they would not compensate me. Mr. Claggett due diligently and methodically handled the issues. Mr. Claggett proved that the insurance company was performing in bad faith and that my injuries were real. Mr. Claggett not only got the settlement I deserved, he also sued the insurance company for a bad faith claim and won.
Mr. Claggett is one of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with. His skills and knowledge astounded me. Mr. Claggett handled my case with the utmost diligence, care and responsibility. I am grateful to have found him in the vast sea of attorneys here in Las Vegas.
Mr. Claggett did a great job in representing me for my car accident injuries. He and his staff made the process as pain-free as possible making sure that all my concerns and needs were taken care of in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mr. Calggett's law firm.
Sean represented me in some real estate matters. He was able to help resolve the issues. I have recommended Sean to many people I know and he has been able to help them too.
