Great Attorney

I have been a client of Mr. O for a long time and have known him for about 18 years exactly. He has always been professional and compassionate with all my matters. He is a great attorney and a good man.

Gave me a new start

In January of 2018 I realized I was over my head in bad choices and needed to come to terms with my finances. I met with Mr. O" Reilly who helped me understand my circumstances and helped me so I could do apply and receive Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I am now little over year since my Bankruptcy and in... the best financial situation I have been in in many years and not living with the stress and anxiety if I can manage my expenses. Mr. O'Reilly I feel was very helpful and supportive and has allowed me the process to begin again. Bankruptcy may not be for everyone one, but for me it has helped me gain control and move forward with far less burden and stress.

Bankruptcy and foreclosure

I consulted Mr O’Reiley a few months ago regarding my foreclosure case with understanding that my case was very difficult to save my house. He introduced me to The paralegal Allison. It was God send. They made me feel so comfortable even at my point of despair. They gave me great advice and was v...ery truthful and direct to the point. Allison was very compassionate to our issues. I just left the office today knowing that I was going to lose my house but they gave great options to be considered so I can re-start my life. I want to thank both Mr O’Reiley and Ms Allison for their great compassions and their professionalism. I may no longer has a home but I strongly believed that their assistance will make things a lot easier for my family. Thank you Mr O’Reiley and Ms Allison

Big Regret

Soon after retaining the services of Francis O'Reilly, I realized I had made a huge mistake that I would come to regret. During my consultation he seemed understanding and experienced; upon the start of my case he was condescending, abrasive. More than once he did not convey correct information and ...I had to call him prior to court dates to discuss progress and details. The one time I didn't get ahold of him ahead of time he completely forgot and was over an hour late. He is unreliable and unresponsive when trying to contact him. He has shown no follow through with any of my proceedings. My case took an additional 6 months to resolve because of his complete unprofessionalism. I would have saved myself a lot of heartache by going with someone else as my representative.
