In Their Own Words (Life as a Sheehan Phinney Attorney)

"Prior to joining Sheehan Phinney, I always worked in intellectual property law boutiques. All too often in the past I would have to refer my client's non-IP legal matters to other law firms. This changed when I joined Sheehan Phinney. I presently enjoy having the capability of providing my clients with legal advice in all legal fields. Having the capability of legally supporting clients with all legal matters has allowed me to better understand my clients and the issues that confront them every day. The result has been the solidifying of client relationships. In addition, due to the level of expertise of attorneys at Sheehan Phinney, I feel comfortable placing new legal matters for clients in the hands of others."

"The best part of being an associate at Sheehan Phinney is the fact that you are trusted with real responsibility right out of the gate: I was in front of a judge within months of my first day."
