Work Experience
During his law school years, Sean worked almost full-time for a pre-eminent plaintiff's personal injury firm in San Francisco, California. It was during this job that he developed a love for this area of the law, as he found it extremely rewarding to utilize his legal skills to help people who had been seriously injured or who had lost a loved one.
After graduating from law school, Sean went to work for a large firm that practiced in numerous areas of the law, including plaintiff's litigation. After working for the firm for about two years, the firm dissolved, and Sean joined with three other attorneys to form a new firm – Lyle, Murphy, Whitehead & Rose, Ltd.
Because of Sean's desire to focus his attention on the plaintiff's personal injury and insurance bad faith, he left the firm in 1998 and opened his own office, Rose Law, where he has remained ever since.
