Great Lawyer

I had a court case in Lynn. I called Mr, O'Malley and he asked me for a consultation. The best part was that he got my police report before I even got there. We had a good consultation. He also gave me a good price from other lawyers I have talked to. (Reasonable) Considering my case, I would say I g...ot good results.

OUI SECOND OFFENSE.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone what an outstanding lawyer that Stephen O'malley is! I was facing a second DUI conviction when I called Stephen O'malley for help. Mr Stephen put me at ease in only a few minutes of talking with him. Somehow I just felt that everything was going... to work out and that I was in good hands. Mr Stephen really was the consummate professional and was able to get my trial date set up within a very short time. In my opinion Mr Stephen is the best lawyer I have ever had the privilege of working with! Mr Stephen was able to get me a DISMISSAL verdict and in turn gave me back my life again! Mr Stephen is certainly worth his weight in gold and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who might be in a similar situation as me. Thank you Mr Stephen O'malley to the moon and back again! GRACIAS AMIGO ERES EL MEJOR.

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.

"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!"
