Sean O’Malley has spent his entire career litigating cases from inception through appeal, most prominently in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, commercial disputes, and intentional torts, but also with considerable experience in criminal defense, probate, and domestic relations. Since joining HME his practice has expanded to include federal class actions, tort defense, and wrongful convictions. This diversity of practice permits Sean to evaluate and litigate cases while armed with a broad base of legal knowledge and procedural familiarity that he successfully leverages to the benefit of his clients.
Sean received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where he was also a standout member of the men’s varsity volleyball team and 2006 National Champion, before continuing his education at Boston College Law School. During law school Sean clerked for the felony trial division of the Cook County Public Defender’s office, where he utilized his Ill. S. Ct. R. 711 Law License to actively participate in contested motions, evidentiary hearings, and jury trials.
Sean lives in Oak Park with his wife and two children, and in his free time enjoys bicycling, English Premier League soccer, and following domestic politics and foreign affairs.
