About Sean
Sean FitzPatrick trained in New Mexico. He studied law at the University of New Mexico School of Law and built an early career in both public service and private practice. The mix of courtroom work and client-side advocacy would shape his later practice.
He began his legal career in the 11th Judicial District Lawyer's Office in 2012. That role put him inside the local court system. He handled matters that required attention to procedural detail and an ability to work with judges and prosecutors.
In 2015 he moved to a private practice environment at a firm operating as ABQ Accident Lawyer. That year gave him exposure to client-facing representation and the demands of civil cases brought by individuals after collisions and injuries. The combination of district office experience and work at an accident-focused practice informed his approach to handling disputes.
In 2016 he founded FitzPatrick Law, LLC. He opened the firm to offer a more individualized option for clients in New Mexico. Over the years the practice has taken cases through state courts and addressed a range of legal issues that come up for residents in the region. He manages the office and directs day-to-day operations while continuing to appear in court when matters require it.
Colleagues describe FitzPatrick as pragmatic. He prefers clear strategies over elaborate theory. He breaks complex problems into manageable steps and communicates those steps plainly to clients. That straightforward style reflects his time in the district lawyer's office, where deadlines and courtroom procedure shaped how he prepares cases.
Outside of court, he has worked on case investigation and client counseling. He has represented clients in settlements and trials. His background includes negotiation and litigation, and he has handled matters that demanded both thorough preparation and flexible response to changing facts.
FitzPatrick is licensed in New Mexico and has built his practice in the state. He continues to operate FitzPatrick Law, LLC, where he represents clients across New Mexico. His current practice concentrates on representing clients in New Mexico state courts.
