great consultation

I had a specific question and Atty O'Brien was able to answer it quickly and offer me more related information - she didn't charge me for the 20 minutes on the phone, she will be my first call if I need some help!

Excellent Service by Attorney Deirdre O’Brien

I was looking for Attorney to prepare my Will and few related Documents. I have been referred to Attorney Deirdre O’Brien by a friend. As a result, I have received a very efficient and highly professional service. Attorney O’Brien clearly acted in my best interest in every aspect of the legal procedu...res. She considered and openly discussed with me every pros and cons of every Document, every potential changes, and possible scenario. All necessary Documents has been prepared in a very short period of time. I received electronic drafts of all Documents well before our final meeting has been scheduled, and I was able to review and to make necessary changes to each Document. Every change I’ve made, has been discussed and incorporated in a final version of each Document. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. In addition, it was a real pleasure to interact with Attorney O’Brien, as well as with her stuff and colleagues. I would highly recommend Deirdre O’Brien as an Attorney to everyone who would like to receive a very efficient professional legal help and enjoy a very pleasant environment.

She didn't hear what was important to me

Deirdre handled my divorce several years ago. At the time I was so traumatized, I didn't know which end was up. I felt I had to go along with things that I was uncomfortable with, because I couldn't afford a trial. The judge was leaving early, and she had a client waiting in her office. It was only m...y life hanging in the balance that day. It was wham bam, thank you, Ma'am, and my head was spinning. Years later, I consulted her and she said, "Sorry the laws changed." I am in dire straits financially, as well as physically, while my ex lives high off the hog with wife #3. Deirdre said she couldn't help me. I am quite certain she won't spend a minute thinking about the reality I am barely holding on in. She needs some compassion. There but for the grace of God, go I.

Proficient and efficient

Deirdre was very proficient and efficient in handling my uncontested divorce. She was professional and kept me on track. My divorce was completed within four weeks of our initial appointment. I felt very comfortable working with and recommending Deirdre.

Helped with Divorce, Will and Consultation

Deirdre O'Brien gets the job done. She doesn't waste anybody's time. I thought that her rates were extremely fair. She has a lot of energy and moves things along quickly. I have recommended her to several friends who were also extremely satisfied with her services. She definitely knows her way around... the courtroom. She will help to make the process of Divorce significantly less painful.
