Deirdre A M O'Brien

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.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would need a lawyer, but I am very thankful I knew someone who used Deirdre and recommended her to me. From our very first meeting, I felt like she was a dear old friend and I knew she had my back 100%. We laugh about it now, but from that very fi...rst day, she knew exactly what I needed way before I came to terms with it. At the beginning, she helped me to take baby steps and guided me thru the process when I was nothing but scared, overwhelmed and confused. She helped me to make clear, well thought out decisions when I had to make them, yet helped to teach me a lifelong lesson; that sometimes we don't get choices. She is a true professional and I continue to call on her expertise when needed. She is empowering, extremely compassionate, very knowledgeable and reliable. Most of all she is someone who honestly wants what is best for you and your family. You want her on your side!

From my first meeting, Deirdre set realistic expectations and fully explained the process, costs and how best to proceed in a financially responsible way. She helped me understand all my options, risks and set realistic expectations. She told me when it was prudent to dig in and fight and yet was c...lear not to waste my money on issues that would result in legal fees greater than the value of 'the win.' She helped me stay objective and not let my emotions overrule good judgement. She reminded me on several occasions not to take the bait of my ex-husband or be intimidated by his lawyer, and clarified for me the Judge is the only one that decides when people cannot agree. Because she billed monthly, there were never any surprises and it was easy to track and understand the fees. I hope I never have to go back to divorce court, but if I do, I would absolutely have Deirdre at my side. I have already recommended her to two friends and they feel as lucky to have her as a their partner as I did.

I am a single mom with a 10 year old daughter. I had never received child support ever, even though there was a court order for it. My ex would just keep working jobs under the table. When I would represent myself in court the judge would always have sympathy for him and I would be left with nothing...! I decided I needed a lawyer and a damn good one! I now receive child support every week and BONUS she tracked down a settlement check from an accident that he was in. Yes people, today I just received a check for tens of thousands of dollars that was going to go to him but instead went to me for my daughter! I can't thank Deirdre and her staff enough for changing the lives of my daughter and myself for the better!
