Outstanding attorney

Deirdre met with me as a consultant and within 3 hours she had a rough draft for my divorce! She was compassionate to my needs. She offered sound legal advice as well as emotional support to my difficult situation. She is well respected in her profession. I can not say enough about her. She treated m...e as a family member and had me divorced in less than 3 months of our first meeting! Also, Deirdre’s staff is outstanding and professional.

Former client

I worked with Deirdre for several years. She represented me initially in my divorce. Later she was super helpful on modifications to increase support as Situations changed. Deirdre was always immediately responsive, her staff was responsive as well. all in all I was super satisfied with Deirdre’s re...presentation. She treated both me and my ex-husband with dignity at all times. She is a class act. I would recommend her highly and have recommended her to many of my friends who are very pleased with her services. I found her billing practices impeccable. She sent me a monthly statement and I always knew exactly where I stood. She kept very good records and I felt I got very good value for my money. I found her prices were in the general range of lawyers in the area. I was only ever billed for services that I requested. She explained exactly what was going on at every step of the way and I understood what was going to happen before we got to court. The staff was great. I have no hesitation in recommending Deirdre.

Excellent Service by Attorney Deirdre O’Brien

I was looking for Attorney to prepare my Will and few related Documents. I have been referred to Attorney Deirdre O’Brien by a friend. As a result, I have received a very efficient and highly professional service. Attorney O’Brien clearly acted in my best interest in every aspect of the legal procedu...res. She considered and openly discussed with me every pros and cons of every Document, every potential changes, and possible scenario. All necessary Documents has been prepared in a very short period of time. I received electronic drafts of all Documents well before our final meeting has been scheduled, and I was able to review and to make necessary changes to each Document. Every change I’ve made, has been discussed and incorporated in a final version of each Document. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. In addition, it was a real pleasure to interact with Attorney O’Brien, as well as with her stuff and colleagues. I would highly recommend Deirdre O’Brien as an Attorney to everyone who would like to receive a very efficient professional legal help and enjoy a very pleasant environment.

Strategy Plus

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.

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.
