Professional and Knowledgeable Lawyer

I approached Katherine for help to sort out some legal matters in Jersey City Courthouse. Katherine and her team remained on top off the issue and successfully dealt with matters very professionally, I will definitely recommend them for your needs. Katherine is knowledgable lawyer to consult US legal... matters with.

Katherine O'Brien and her law firm are truly A1, 5 Star!

Myself being 64 years old, I have known and paid many lawyers over the years. What I have found unfortunately to be the general consistency coming from most attorneys are: 1. They take as much money as they can get from you, 2. They will do as little work as possible, 3. Even if your inter...ests are dropped cold on the floor by them and swept into the garbage can, they expect you to say “Thank You”. Katherine and her team were and are the refreshing exception to the rule. They exemplify the words “Professional” “Client Conscientious” “Meticulous” “Learned” and “Reasonably Priced”. Katherine will not tell you one thing and do another. She outlines what is involved; the normal time it will take to complete the mission; and she will try to outline the typical problems that could occur. In my case she told me it would probably take 8-months to a year to finalize the mission at hand. She was right on the mark. At each step along the journey, she and her team were very helpful and timely per the steps needed to be taken. My personal recommendation is as strong as it gets when it comes down to others using Katherine O'Brien and her law team to handle their personal legal needs. I am confident that if you do so, you will be very pleased upon the final outcome and that the projected time and cost for completion was projected accurately and squarely on the mark. Katherine is truly a sparkling gem of no equal! Walter Burien Saint Johns, Arizona

Excellent Professional Service

I'm very glad I chose Katherine to handle my expungement. She explained the process very clearly, helped me complete all of the paperwork, and managed expectations so that I was clear on how long the process might take. Katherine and her staff kept me informed throughout the process and updated me ...regularly regarding the status. I would highly recommend her,

Professional and Knowledgeable

I contacted Katherine for my expungement based on a google search. I was surprised at the price she offered but after speaking with her I knew she was the kind of lawyer I needed in my corner. Katherine is very knowledgeable and was always honest with me. We encountered a few speed bumps due to laws ...changing during the process but she assured me that this would not affect my case. There were court dates that went along with my expungement but I I was not required to attend as her office did all the footwork. My expungement was finalized in about 1 year. I am very grateful that Katherine was my lawyer and I will continue to recommend her based on my wonderful experience.
