My client focused nature and passion for standing up for what's right is what really attracted me to becoming a lawyer. Drawing on my years of experience in the industry, I work hard for my clients and go that extra mile to make sure that they understand the process and get the best legal representation.

Obtaining compensation for clients to help them through tough times is very rewarding. I feel privileged to work in a role where I am able to assist those in need.

I find it satisfying to be able to put a client's mind at rest from the very first meeting or telephone call. From the very start, our clients know we will be with them every step of the way through the claims process.

The O'Connor Team is an efficient and friendly team. We are here to guide our clients through the claims process from start to finish.

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 understand 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.
