Deirdre A M O'Brien

You won't go wrong with Deirdre - if you want a strong advocate for you, a smart legal mind, a caring disposition for you and your children, a careful worker with great results for moving you into the future, hire Deirdre. Just got my updated Will done now that I am solvent again after the divorce s...he successfully completed for me. You won't go wrong with her.

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.

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.
