Here, he honed his skills on oil & gas disputes and cases involving defective medical devices and bad drugs. In 2001, he was headhunted by one of Houston’s most respected personal injury firms.

Today, Roberts Markland LLP is a nationally recognized authority in personal injury cases, wrongful death lawsuits, and business disputes.
The firm’s team of eight lawyers brings a unique set of skills to the table, with multilingual capabilities that allow them to handle a variety of accident and product liability cases. These range from transportation accidents (involving automobiles, trucks, and aviation) to maritime incidents (including offshore rigs and longshoreman accidents), oilfield explosions, refinery accidents, defective products claims, pharmaceutical injuries, toxic contamination cases, and bad-faith insurance practices.
In addition to his legal achievements, Sean is an active member of esteemed legal associations such as the American Association for Justice and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. He also shares his knowledge and experience as a guest lecturer at respected institutions like the University of Houston Law Center.
Beyond the courtroom, Sean’s dedication extends to his community. He actively supports local charities, focusing primarily on mental health initiatives and promoting the arts. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Houston Museum of African-American Culture (HMAAC), sponsors the Ensemble Theater, and holds the chairman position for the Tairon Gray Foundation. His commitment to philanthropy extends to his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, where he participates in the Guide-Right program.
On a personal note, Sean is a devoted father to his 14-year-old son Joshua and 4-year-old daughter Ava.
