Deirdre A M O'Brien

After interviewing several attorneys, I decided whole heartedly to hire Deirdre (who was out of the country at the time) on the basis of my therapist's recommendation and her legal assistant's efficient and compassionate responses to my face-to-face questions. Deirdre knows the law and her ...audiences, has the utmost respect of her peers and colleagues, is an ace strategist, and a dauntless advocate. There were many curveballs throughout the divorce proceedings; she handled them immediately, effectively, and with positive results. All this culminated in a successful settlement. I want to add that there were older children and a lot of unusual and changing variables involved, all of which Deirdre protected and respected when strategizing. This was very important to me. It was impressive to watch Deirdre gather information, synthesize it, make recommendations, and follow through. Also, an outstanding legal assistant works seamlessly with Deirdre. I call them the dynamic duo. I am a very happy former client and I wish you all the best.

Deirdre did an awesome job developing a strategy that allowed me to really set myself up well for retirement. While I had to give up more in the short term, she really taught me the importance of looking out for myself in the long term. She knew that emotionally, I wasn't ready to go quickly during m...y divorce, but she recognized that legally, the best chance I had was to go quickly. She was empathetic to my emotional needs while taking care of my legal needs. Her paralegal was very responsive to my questions. Going through a divorce is really tough but Deirdre made sure it was done as quickly as possible.
