Deirdre A M O'Brien

I don’t believe I could have found a better attorney to represent me during my (difficult) divorce. She meticulously presented my rights and needs and was not only kind, patient and honest, but tenacious and unreservedly candid. Ms. O’Brien appreciated how very much my relationship with my stepdaug...hters meant to me and did the impossible - she obtained visitation rights for me (and, considering the circumstances, very generous rights.). I remain in her debt.

Attorney O'Brien helped me every step of the way through a really bad situation. There we many dynamics to my divorce with my ex being involved in with drugs, stealing and dealing. Just messy! We lost our house due to a short sale. It was a living nightmare. Deirdre was instrumental in helping me... come back from such a horrible situation. She took time to get to know me, and she provided feedback aside from just supporting the legal aspects. She recommended books and groups that I could join to help through the emotional part of my situation. I feel that Deirdre's best quality is her honest approach. She keeps reality in check and she knows the laws inside and out and approaches the situation with real life perspective. She is up front on the costs, and she wont make you fight for something that she knows wont fly in the courts eyes. I still refer back to Deirdre with questions and concerns that arise and she responds to me almost immediately. She also always takes the time out to ask about me, my son and how my life is at that time, she truly cares about me as a person, not just a client. She is often my sound board and when things get foggy through the ups and downs of life after divorce, she provides advise that helps me make the best decisions for my son and I. I could even go as far to say that I consider her a mentor.

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.

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.

I'm a Massachusetts Dad who got custody of my kids AND child support from my ex-wife, all thanks to Attorney O'Brien. I was told that Mom always gets custody in Mass., but this lawyer made it happen for me. She never stopped until the facts of the case were before the judge, despite the other lawye...r's procedural roadblocks, I have my kids, and Deirdre O'Bren has my everlasting gratitude. She's worth every cent I paid her, and more.
