This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Huge disappointment

Misrepresented my case , over charged me , spent more time on preparing fee agreement between me and him more than spent on the case , he rather lose than fight for me , I went to him for help me with my case that he lost ,now I'm going to court against him , do any one need that

Each and every part of this review is a complete lie deliberately designed to harm my professional reputation. For anyone interested in defamation per se; I highly recommend looking into the case captioned as "O'Donniley v. Gurna et al" bearing index number 879/2017 that is currently pending in the Queens County Civil Court of the City of New York. See you in Court Mr. Gurna.

Graet litigator and consumate negitiator

Went up against a major firm with over 20 lawyers and matched them every step of the way to the point they threw in the towel and negotaited a very favorable settlemnt. One of the best of the best of New York lawyers I have met.

More Bang for Your Buck

Attorney O'Donniley works wonders. I had a very serious problem a couple of years back, and it looked as though my life were over. Time to face the music. The system wanted someone to pay, and they chose me. Well it was hard saying my goodbyes to everybody and then my sister recommended me to mee...t with Attorney O'Donniley for a consultation. It was the best decision I ever made. I thank my lucky stars that I had this attorney, because every other attorney I went to basically told me "you're screwed." Attorney O'Donniley treated me fairly, and every breath I take of free air is due to him. Hire him if you want a fighting chance.

"Mr. O'Donniley and I have worked on a number of matters together, and he has always proven himself to be very knowledgable and capable. I have seen him succeed where two other attorneys failed in assisting a client of mine with a criminal matter that had been pending for a few years; not only did he succeed in getting my client the result he desired, but he did so in less than a month's time. Aside from his prowess as a criminal attorney, I have also seen Mr. O'Donniley excel in commercial litigation, tenant representation and matrimonial/family law practice, to name just a few areas where Mr. O'Donniley has proven himself as a capable litigator. I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. O'Donniley as a sharp, aggressive, results-driven attorney you would be lucky to have in your corner."
