Katherine is Amazing!!! Highly Highly Recommend !

Katherine O'Brien has been amazing! I have heard horror stories of lawyers not responding to clients and taking a long time to return calls. Katherine has always made herself available and answered any email in minutes. She has gone out of her way to help me get paperwork from the courts faster then ...normal so I wouldn't loose my job. I can not express how amazed and happy I am with Katherine's work. She has saved me a lot of headaches and has made the expungement process so much easier for me. I would recommend her to everyone I know!

FDIC Section 19 Concern

Katherine O'Brien recently assisted me with a legal concern regarding the applicability of FDIC Section 19. Based on my search effort, very few lawyers had specialized expertise in this area. Katherine was not only willing to take my call, but also made my concern a priority and got back to me quickl...y with her findings and a resolution. Additionally, I feel her key relationships allowed her to gain unique insights and a distinct advantage over other attorneys. I'm very pleased with the decision to work with Katherine, and if I have any further issues I'll certainly be returning to her for counsel. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking representation.

Quick and excellent settlement...

Believe it or not, at 81 years old, I was exercising on my home elliptical machine when part of it collapsed. It injured my knee and ankle. At my age, I don't know how the legal system works. Katherine North made it so easy for me by walking me through the whole process. She was extremely caring and ...genuinely concerned about my injuries. I didn't like the idea of going to an insurance company doctor or having my deposition taken. At my age, who wants to go through that. Katherine proved the product was defective when it was made. Katherine got me the settlement I deserved quickly and I never had to see an insurance company doctor or give a deposition.

Excellent and compassionate

Katherine North was an amazing lawyer. She prepared all my legal name change documents professionally, accurately and on time. Any questions I had or concerns where always addressed with a simple phone call, email or text in which Katherine would respond immediately. She was kind, compassionate... and guided me through the procedure which made a very big difference in the whole process. - AS
