Michael G. O'Neill's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Employment discrimination claims can be very difficult and mess (almost like a divorce). I highly recommend that you speak to an experienced civil rights attorney before hiring just any lawyer or signing any forms. Michael O'Neill has a ton of experience in this area and he is very easy to talk to. Give him a call if you have questions about your situation."
