Top notch

Maryellen and her firm handled my compensation case with absolute professionalism resulting in the best possible outcome. She made a very complex bureaucratic system easy to understand and navigate. Her team answered my many questions I had very promptly and courteously. I would absolutely recommend ...O’Connor Law to anyone needing a top tier firm.

A true professional

The O'Connor Law Firm was recommended by a friend. I had an attorney who was not responsive to me or my case. I consulted with Mary Ellen and I knew within the first five minutes that I would be hiring her for my case. She was extremely professional and kept he information at a level were I understa...nd it. The office all ways returned my calls and emails timely. She did things for my case that I had no idea we could do. l I Highly Highly recommend Mary Ellen & O'Connor Law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
