Superior representation...

I'm happy to provide an unsolicited, very positive review of the O'Mara Law Firm and, specifically, Peter O'Mara in the hope that others would feel confident in selecting top-notch representation. Having engaged other attorneys in the past for particular areas of expertise and having served on juries (not just showing up for jury duty), I believe I have a fair idea of what effective representation involves. Peter O'Mara is unflinchingly direct, capable and tenacious in representing his clients. His office staff regularly follows up so there is no miscommunication despite a heavy office workload - thank you, Jane! Good lawyers deserve to be acknowledged. Often, we can only find rabbits when lions are needed. Peter O'Mara is a lion.

Peter is your best defense

Peter is your best defense

Peter took my phone call on a holiday. He treats you with respect and dignity through difficult times. He has extreme knowledge of all the current laws and loopholes. If you run into DUI trouble, Peter O'Mara is the best lawyer to help you.

Exceptional Law Firm.

Extraordinarily professional. Exceptionally knowledgeble, trustworthy and most importantly successful results for me. His up front estimate of cost was also spot on. Hiring Mr O'Mara is an absolute must when in need of an attorney.
