Sean helped represent one of the largest classes ever, involving more than 200 million individuals and a settlement that changed the way data aggregators use and disclose information protected by the Drivers Privacy Protection Act. He was also appointed Class Counsel in class actions that resulted in a settlement of more than $4 million for victims of payday loan rollover schemes.

Sean has given accredited CLE courses on the ethics of cloud computing and has also spoken to groups of lawyers and investigators on related ethical issues.
In his leisure time, Sean chases around his two children while rooting on all Tampa sports teams and obsessing over fantasy football lineup decisions. He has also completed 3 marathons and numerous Ragnar relays.
Sean is licensed to practice in Florida state and federal courts and the Western District of Wisconsin.
