After a bicycle accident with injuries, I needed legal representation. I decided on HBH because from the first contact everyone was professional and friendly. Matt Kelly had experience with bike/car incidents and I felt positive that he would handle all issues while I underwent recovery. He patiently answered questions and phone calls promptly and personally. He assisted with negotiations for medical care and ultimately neurology consultations. I highly recommend Matt and his firm if you are involved in any accident. The entire process was worry free and exponentially helped with my recovery .

Sean Breen is a consummate professional—smart, disciplined, agile, experienced, and an excellent strategist. He understands the art of push and pull, has a refined ear for nuance, and is a bulldog for justice. I’m very grateful for his representation. I’d also like to acknowledge his paralegal Roni Wilson, whose compassion and empathy were unparalleled and greatly appreciated. This is a practice that clearly knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares, and it shows. They earned my trust and delivered results. I unequivocally recommend Sean Breen and his team. They are outstanding and in a class by themselves.

While visiting my mother in Austin In February of 2025 I was hit by a car while riding a bike, which put me in the hospital for 3 days and resulted in some fairly severe injuries. I heard about Howry, Breen & Herman, LLP through some friends of my cousin, and asked them to represent me. From the word go this law firm was courteous, professional, thorough and helpful. I live in Australia and after a few months of physical recuperation I was able to return home. In spite of the distance and time differences between Austin and Adelaide, Australia, Howry, Breen & Herman, LLP continued to do an excellent job, helping me navigate the arduous task of negotiating a fair settlement. I am extremely grateful to this team and consider myself very blessed to have had this team represent me. If you need a law firm to represent you, I highly recommend Howry, Breen & Herman, LLP.

Sean Breen and his team were a god-send in my darkest hour. This team helped me navigate the process of getting restitution for a negligent business. They are reputable, personal, and feel like family after our journey tougher. It felt like a boutique attorney experience with personal connection, attention to detail and that feeling like you are family from day one. I cannot recommend this team enough.
Howry, Breen, & Herman, LLP went above and beyond for me after my accident. From the very beginning, they treated me like a real person and not just a case file. Matt and Caitlin, in particular, were absolutely terrific. They regularly checked in on me while I was recovering, showed real compassion, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way.
They worked hard to get me the best possible outcome and truly had my best interests at heart. I’m so thankful for everything they did. If you’re looking for a team that not only knows what they’re doing but actually cares, I highly recommend Howry, Breen, & Herman.
Exceptional Legal Representation – Highly Recommended!
I can’t thank Sean Breen and his team enough for the incredible job they did on my car accident case. From day one, they were professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to getting the best outcome for me. They took the time to explain every step of the process, always kept me informed, and fought tirelessly on my behalf.
Thanks to their expertise and persistence, we won the case, and I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Beyond the legal win, what really stood out was how much they genuinely cared. I felt supported every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable but also kind, responsive, and determined, I highly recommend Sean and Associates. They turned a very difficult time into a much more manageable experience and delivered results. Truly outstanding service!

Let me know if you’d like to include specific details like the lawyer’s name, firm, or anything about your experience.
Finding myself in such an intimidating situation after my biking injury - laying in a hospital bed with limited mobility and independence - the last thing I wanted was the added stress of figuring out what was supposed to happen next. How do I look out for myself? How do I make sure these medical and insurance entities do right by me? How do I navigate such a complex and exhausting process juggling medical bills, collection notices, doctor appointments, insurance claims (etc.) all while still trying to set aside my mental and physical energy on healing?
I’m so thankful I was referred to HBH. My lawyer, Matt, and his incredibly efficient paralegal, Caitlin, addressed all the unknowns with a swift action plan so I could focus solely on recovery. Being young and still new to the racket of the world of insurance and medical billing, I appreciated how Matt broke everything down so simply. I had complete confidence in the process. They kept me well-informed at every stage and expressed genuine care about my wellbeing. That personal touch really sets them apart from the billboard lawyers with giant caseloads and sprawling staff directories where you’d get lost in the shuffle.
Matt and Caitlin had what I’d call an incredible “bedside manner.” They never overwhelmed me with paperwork or action items while I was laid up. In fact, I looked forward to hearing from them, as it always felt like progress and a step toward good news.
For me, it was never just about the settlement. It was more about the peace of mind knowing everything was being handled and I wouldn’t be left with loose ends. The settlement was great, of course, but the reassurance they were able to give me was truly priceless. Thanks to their thoroughness, I’m moving forward without the lingering fear of surprise bills, insurance issues, or collections.
I sincerely hope I don’t face another serious injury - not to mention my friends or loved ones - but if I do, I know exactly who I’ll call.
Sean Breen is...Exceptional Legal Representation and Compassionate Support

In the fall of 2018, our family faced a harrowing incident when our youngest daughter was left on her school bus. Thankfully, through a colleague at Austin ISD, we were referred to Howry Breen and Herman LLP, where we connected with Mr. Sean Breen. From the outset, it was clear this was no chance encounter but a testament to providence.
Mr. Breen's swift response, driving from Austin to Cedar Park to meet with us, exemplified his dedication and compassion. Sitting at our kitchen table, he listened attentively as we shared our concerns and fears. His professionalism and genuine care reassured us that he would fight for our family with integrity and determination.
Throughout our legal journey, Mr. Breen handled our case with grace, never resorting to aggression but advocating firmly for our rights. He ensured that Leander ISD took responsibility and improved its transportation protocols. Even after our case concluded, Mr. Breen continued to check in on our family, showing a level of personal investment that is rare in legal professionals.
His ongoing support and genuine interest in our well-being have left a lasting impression. Every interaction with him reaffirms that he is not just an outstanding attorney but also a compassionate individual who genuinely cares about his clients' futures.
If you are searching for legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Sean Breen. His dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support have made a profound difference in our lives. Thank you, Mr. Breen, for being the beacon of hope we needed during a challenging time.
Sean has always been responsive and kind whenever I’ve needed advice or support. I can always count on him and his team. I will always be grateful for his kindness and the care he has shown me.
