About Sean Olson

Sean Olson is much more than just a personal injury lawyer. Sean is an advocate who helps those who are injured navigate our complex legal system. And he is a voice for those who are injured and cannot speak for themselves.

Sean’s desire to help others started long before law school with his childhood soccer coach, who gave Sean three simple rules to find success in life: 1) Build others up. 2) Build others up. 3) Build others up.

Sean took that advice to heart as he followed his path to becoming a trial lawyer. After growing up in a small farming town in Wisconsin, Sean’s journey took him to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in journalism and mass communication.

Following his passion for storytelling, Sean launched a career in photojournalism. That Emmy-award-winning career gave Sean the opportunity to travel the world and tell other people’s stories.

The Mountain West became Sean’s home base – a place where Sean discovered his passion for fly fishing, mountain biking, and a good pint of beer. And when Sean realized it was time to make a difference in the world, his journey took him to the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. After graduating in the top one percent of his class, Sean was ready to make a difference in the courtroom.

Every Client.
Every Day.

That’s the Olson Law Firm, LLC Difference.

“Sean got me the right treatment where I need to go, he got me not talking to the insurance agents anymore – he was taking care of everything. He delivered 100%.”
