Caring, Sympathetic and Trustworthy

My divorce went final in 2004. I have used Deirdre since then for a modification and a few other things. I find her extremely caring about my situation and my family. She on more than 1 occasion has helped me at no cost. I have recommended her a number of times and the experience that I had is c...onsistent with others that I recommended to her. I just can't say enough about my treatment, she worked on minimizing my cost/expenses and was always worried about me and my kids. My resolution turned out great, i was awarded joint physical custody and the family home. At the time we were up against my ex-wife's barracuda attorney that was trying to maximize everyone's cost. You can't go wrong with Deirdre.

A single mom who finally received an incredible outcome!

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!

Wonderful in every way!

I am a divorcing dad who has been put through the ringer. Deirdre is knowledgable and fair. She keeps things in perspective and is willing to put me in line when I need it. She made several last minute appearances in court due to my ex trying to make emergency motions. She has a realistic plan f...or my divorce and although the system is slow she is not. She and her paralegal are there to support me when I need it and the information flows smoohtly to me. I never wait long for a call back or an email to my questions. She has a great command of knowledge related to the courts, and what is considered reasonable. My situation is extremely unique and challenging. Every step of the way we have been able to win. To do this one must follow the instructions of the lawyer. Court and court time is not cheap, but for me the cost is worth every penny to protect my children. I dont think I could have found a better lawyer.

Deirdre O'Brien is a Real Professional

Deirdre O'Brien is an outstanding divorce lawyer. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law. Her performance in court was suburb. Deirdre explained the entire divorce process step by step to me while always keeping my child's best interest in mind. I was really impressed with her professionali...sm. Deirdre also represented me on multiple occasions when I needed modifications to my divorce decry. I was very pleased with the results every time. I also hired Deirdre to write my Will and Family Trust. I highly recommend Deirdre as a Divorce, Will and Trust lawyer .

Recommended...............

I used Attny O'Brien to review my divorce agreement from our mediation sessions as well as representing me during the actual court appearance for divorce. I found her to be very knowledgable and helpful. She was a great adviser and actually recommeded some changes to the mediation agreement which... was a benefit to me in the long run. She is very reliable and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a legal represenative.
