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.
