What Our Client's Say

Want to thank Sean for the very hard work he did on my case. He got me the best possible outcome and was honest with me right from the start. No sugar coating! He says he's about being practical and thorough and that is exactly what he is. Thank you!

D.K.

Sean was of great assistance to me and my family when I was in difficult times with my divorce and separation. Mr. Sean always had the patience to make me understand what is happening so I am less nervous when we go to court. He was a very good lawyer and he worked hard for me so I have the custody of my son and received the money I am rightfully owed to me.

R.F.

I retained Mr. Tram during a particularly gritty civil litigation dealing with the sale of my late father’s farm property. Mr. Tram was very patient with me as he explained to me the law as it interrelated with the different subsects of civil and estate litigation. Mr. Tram was a strong advocate for me both inside and outside the Court. In the end, we achieved the best result for my case and I thank Mr. Tram for being thorough and clear with his representation from the start to finish. Would recommend to anyone struggling with a civil dispute.

S.P.

I have referred many of my friends and family members to LTLLP and rest assured, Daniel Tram and Sean Lakhan treated their matters with utmost priority and diligence. They patiently explained all the complicated legal issues, always stayed in contact and got the results the clients were seeking. Great work all across the board! You can’t go wrong with these two lawyers on your side.

R. B.

Sean helped me go through the legal problems I was having with my ex. We were common law not married but there were still problems to deal with like custody and my child support. I learned alot about family law and what the court looks at from Sean and he made going through court battles much easier for me for sure. Hes a straight up guy but nice and always made time to take my calls and get to know what I wanted to try and do with my case.
