Your District Attorney

District Attorney Sean Boone was born and raised in Alamance County. He graduated from Western Alamance High School in 1986 and continued his education at N.C. State University, earning a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in English. In 1997 Sean received his Juris Doctorate from the UNC School of Law. While working towards his law degree, Sean interned in the Alamance County District Attorney’s Office, and upon graduation accepted a position as an Assistant District Attorney in the office. For the next 18 years, Sean served Alamance County, prosecuting over 100 jury trials and securing convictions against our community’s most violent offenders.

In 2015, Sean left the District Attorney’s Office and became a partner in the firm of Walker, Bullard & Boone, P.A.; during this time, he earned the distinction of becoming a Board-Certified Specialist in N.C. Criminal Law. Sean was elected District Attorney in 2018 and began serving in that capacity in January 2019. As District Attorney, Sean has continued to fight for victims of crime in our courts by personally prosecuting violent crime trials and training other prosecutors on trial techniques. He is a strong supporter of the Crime Stoppers program and works to increase public awareness of its mission.

Sean lives in Southern Alamance County with his wife, Dodie, his stepson, Liam, and their rescue cats. The Boone family attends St. Mark’s Church in Burlington, and volunteers at a local nursing & rehabilitation facility regularly. Believing that service extends beyond the courthouse, Sean also delivers meals for Alamance County Meals on Wheels. Sean is a Past Master of Bula Lodge 409, AF & AM. In his spare time, Sean enjoys reading books on American History.
