Fantastic lawyer and human being

From day one Mr. O'Malley assured me he would work hard to give me the best possible outcome. He was a great communicator and easy to understand every step of the legal process. He overcame many hurdles in my case that proved to me that he is a master of his craft. I am so greatful to this great m...an for his dedication to integrity. I would absolutely recommend Mr. O'Malley! Anyone would be fortunate to represent to work with him.

The Best

Part counselor, educator, friend, psychiatrist and incredible judge of character, Atty. O'Malley defines professionalism, honesty, thoroughness, patience, compassionate wisdom, and love for his fellow man in his treatment of his clients. He advocated for our family in the most sincere and truthful ...manner, ultimately proving his original assessment of our family's legal situation to be true. Whenever we needed help ( and we needed lots of it in trying to understand how our legal system works) he came through sublimely, available to us 24/7, right there to calm our fears with some truth. Exhibiting an incredible understanding of the specifics of how the Lynn District Court operates, the need for a client to be patient and wait on the legal system to work towards justice, albeit very slowly, Atty. O'Malley exemplified good judgment. He tailored his legal activities to meet our case's specific needs to a tee, while fully understanding how the court system that he must deal with operates. Also of considerable value, Atty. O'Malley knew who, how, and when to bring other professionals on board to compliment his defense for our family. Individual cases ( ours certainly) may be likened to a legal balancing act/ guessing game and while the court system may be based on blind justice, the truth is that we saw otherwise trough the activities of the assistant district attorneys. I regardless, Atty. O'Malley demonstrated that a capacity to weigh each and every step in our journey to justice would net proper, truth-based results, culminating in a good result for our case. We are deeply indebted to Atty. O'Malley for his handling of our case, resulting in our family remaining intact, and our family member rightfully found to be innocent of all the baseless lies of his accuser. Our case at many points may have taken a turn in the wrong direction were it not for Atty. O'Malley's wisdom, experience, and foresight. Our gratitude to Atty. O'Malley knows no bounds. We also wish to acknowledge Atty. Ann McNulty, as being invaluable in her support of our family, for her legal advice and personal sacrifice (showing up at court while ill and at personal peril) . What a team!

Best Attorney !

Mr. O'Malley represented me against criminal charges, executing great knowledge and skill along with perfect tactics in my case. All the while patiently explaining all aspects of my situation and every possible outcome. He also shows great personal interest and genuine trust with myself and with my ...family every step of the way. My case was difficult and lengthy, with many small details, none of them overlooked. Every stone was turned and all aspects considered. Mr. O'Malley gave his full attention to my case and was reachable day and night to talk or meet concerning my case.

Best attorrney for criminal cases

Attorney O’Malley worked on what I was thinking as a relatively simple case defending my mother. I could only assume that it is very small case for him but we get his undivided attention, 24/7 responses, very professional analysis and attention to all details of the case. It ends up more taxing and... frustrating than expected but it was successfully resolved by Stephen O’Malley. The amount of time he spent on the case definitely exceeds the fixed fee he charged for it. If you need a legal representation in the courtroom, I cannot think about a better counselor as well. Thank you attorney O'Malley!

Excellent Criminal Attorney

Attorney O'Malley represented me with confidence, superior knowledge, compasion and clear communication above and beyond my greatest expectations. If your in need of a Criminal Attorney that you know will put your best intrests above anything else, contact Attorney O'Malley. It is nice to know that t...here are still Attorneys like Steve O'Malley that put their client first and foremost and not there fee. I would have gladly paid double what Attorney O'Malley charged me. I have gone out of my way to recomend Attorney O'Malley knowing the individual will receive unsurpassed representation.

"I recently observed Attorney O'Malley defend a client at a jury trial for a criminal matter in Peabody. I was impressed. It was obvious he was thoroughly prepared - it seemed he knew the facts of the matter better than the testifying officer. He was quick on his feet, involved his client in all the important decisions, and won a NOT GUILTY. Well done!"
