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.

The best, attention to detail, great house deal

When you first meet Francis, he's short, to the point but very detailed. He told me specifically what I had to do and documents I had to bring him. my previous lawyer failed to file a document in a timely manor and I had to file bankruptcy to save my house. not only did he save it but he knocked a ...300k mortgage down to a 138k mortgage. don't get me wrong he told me it was the best deal he had ever done, but he worked hard and I provided him with all that he asked for. Frank and Camilla on his team are great and respond in a timely fashion. I've received strange documents over the past 2-3 years and I just email them with my questions and they email back with in a day or 2 if its not an emergency and right away if it is. BTW, I always do reviews long after the purchase to see if the product holds up over time. THIS LAW FIRM DOES ! I couldn't have done better. I would highly recommend them !

Excellent Team

Attorney O'Reilly and his associate, Attorney Corigliano were incredibly helpful in my case. I was caught up in a huge legal bind and was extremely ill at the time I hired Attorney O'Reilly and his team. Rather than wait for me to recover, Mr. O'Reilly came to visit me while I was a patient in the ho...spital. Mr. O'Reilly brought all of the necessary paperwork with him to the hospital to discuss our case with me and my wife as well so we could sign the necessary court documents. My case brought either Mr. O'Reilly or Mr. Corigliano back to court over a half of a dozen times and they never missed a hearing. Finally, after a long battle and impossible without the O'Reilly firm, the case was found in our favor. I received notice from the courts last month that our case will be closed and then today, Sunday, Mr. O'Reilly called me to tell me that he had officially heard from the courts and thanked me for allowing him to serve us. THANK YOU Sir. My family and I can rest assured that in the event of any other unforeseeable problems in the future that Francis and Frank are there to help us.
