About Sean William Conway

The trial record on my website shows that I could have 7 "Hat Trick" awards from the local attorney groups for each time I obtained 3 consecutive acquittals. " Hat Trick Awards ": If you have seen this noted on an attorney's site, local criminal bar associations around the State give awards out to their members whenever one of them achieves the rare result of getting 3 consecutive acquittals.

  This is a rare event, and some attorneys apply for these "Hat Trick" awards if they achieve it.  As my trial record on my website shows, there have been 7 times where I have achieved 3 consecutive Not Guilty verdicts .  There is nothing wrong with applying for and noting the award, as it is a rare event and the attorneys I have seen receive them are all very good lawyers.

  I just have never applied for one any of the times it happened. In addition to 25 years experience as a trial attorney, I have written dozens of appeals in courts across the State, several of which have resulted in reversals and published opinions.  You can also see a complete list of my trial and appeal records on my website.

I am NOT a Former Prosecutor - I have been defending people my entire legal career and have built a reputation for standing up to injustice.  As the notation "cited for misconduct" illustrates:  A few years back, when Broward Judge Aleman tried to reduce to 1 week the amount of time defendants got to prepare for trial after Arraignment, I objected on the record like everybody else.

 But, the Judge's policy continued. With the 1st Amendment by my side, I exposed this policy on a blog popular among the legal community, using language that was intended to capture the public's attention [which you can read about on the front page of the Sunday NY Times (Sep. 13, 2009) ].  I signed my real name - rather than hide and post anonymously as most attorneys do, as I knew doing so would draw more attention to the problem.

 By using my name, I was later singled out by the Bar and reprimanded, but not before the Florida Supreme Court weighed in, even asking for briefs on " whether attorneys play a critical role in exposing valid problems within the judiciary ". Judge Aleman's policy changed back to normal almost overnight and the judge was later reprimanded by the Supreme Court for what was termed " arrogant, hostile and impatient " conduct for threatening to hold two lawyers in contempt in the middle of a trial.

Keep in mind, there are those lawyers who use the word "aggressive" in their ads ... and then there are those lawyers who actually are . Any attorney can "say" they have experience.  Be sure to ask any attorney you are considering for a complete record of their trial experience.  This could be the most important decision in yours or your loved one's life.
