When professional sound legal advice is needed

Mr. Howard O'Rourke helped and counseled me on some legal matters related to my employment. He was very professional, down to earth, and a very attentive listener. He worked very well with the other party that was involved and got the job done to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Mr. O'Rourke to an...yone seeking legal advice.

Labor Law Counsel

I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. O'Rourke this morning to attain some labor law advice. He was very sympathetic to my plight of having lost my job while offering both legal and personal advice on how to navigate these uncertain times. I would highly recommend him as an attorney who will provide... legal counsel in a way that a non-legal mind can understand.

Looking for Intelligence, Professionalism, Humble: Awesome Lawyer in Long Island

I had the most incredible experience with the Law Office of Howard G. O'Rourke. For one thing, he explained the pro's and con's of my case prior to taking it. This was a very difficult case. Exactly the way he explained things to me, was the exact way this case played out. Most lawyers I had consulte...d with for one reason or the other, have treated me as the "Bad Guy", and all about the money. Mr. O'Rourke is a Lawyer who is passionate about helping others. If he cannot do a case, he will express that right away. In other cases, he works above and beyond to make his clients happy. In addition, he is a true professional, and very knowledgeable about the work he performs for his clients. Even though my case is now closed for several months, Mr. O'Rourke still checks up on me, answer my calls for any questions I may have. Some lawyers close the clients out with their case, unless you have more to spend for a consultation. Mr. O'Rourke will never do that. I recently recommended a very close friend of mine and his experience is the same as mine. Two people can't be right if, Mr. O'Rourke was like those other lawyers. Thank you Mr. O'Rourke, for being there for me and my family, when we thought there was no other way around my case.
