A narrow focus produces a broader understanding

Sheehan builds personal relationships with all of his clients and understands their individualized needs and concerns. He embraces his role as a trusted advisor in order to explain litigation strategies and legal concepts in ways that make sense to each client.

In addition, Sheehan's attention to detail assures that every single motion, brief, memo or other correspondence he produces advocates as strongly as possible for the client's position.

During law school, he was an associate editor for The University of Pennsylvania Journal of Business Law and 1L admissions chair of the Penn Law South Asian Law Students Association. He also received a certificate of study in Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School, and represented indigent clients through Penn Law's Civil Practice Clinic.
