    In select cases, particularly those involving catastrophically injured individuals, Mr. O’Connor has represented the interests of personal injury victims, including automobile accidents, medical malpractice, work-related injuries, and premises liability cases. Mr. O’Connor is also of counsel to Buckley, Mendelson, Criscione, and Quinn, a preeminent personal injury law firm. Additionally, personal injury lawsuits also give rise to investor victimization when settlement proceeds for personal i

  2. Securities and investment fraud

    Many people have lost monies in the financial markets, in light of the financial crisis of 2008 and its lingering effects which continue to the present day. A viable claim for recovery, however, requires more than the mere loss of monies. Causes of Action for the recovery for losses include breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unsuitable investment sales, speculative investment sales, unauthorized trading, churning, fraud and embezzlement.

I have been practicing Stockbroker and Personal Injury Law for 32 years. If you've lost money through the unsuitable, unauthorized, or fraudulent trading activities of your stockbroker, we can help you determine if it's possible to get your money back.

In addition, we provide legal representation in FINRA arbitration proceedings to pursue your claim and hopefully collect the money that's rightfully yours. We offer an initial consultation free of charge to help determine whether or not you have a valid claim for recovery.

Because we usually work on a contingency fee basis, we charge no legal fees unless a recovery is made. Clients remain responsible for all costs and disbursements incurred in pursuing a client claim. Please contact us for any additional information you might need.

My approach to representing victimized investors and personal injury victims includes using the resources of nationally-recognized expert witnesses and professionals to analyze and calculate trading losses, medical damages, personal injury related disabilities and monetary damages, as well as the utilization of legal, professional, and industry standards.

Medical Malpractice
Tim was instrumental in helping us achieve some justice. Doctors think they are GOD, they can do no wrong. After failing to diagnose lung cancer when it could have been treated, Tim helped us bring the incompetence to light and obtained a settlement so our medical bills would not impede the remainder of my wife's life.

Tim O'Connor is brilliant, tenacious, caring and professional. If you have been defrauded by your broker in upstate New York this is the man to see. It's important to hire a local lawyer for the arbitration process as the arbitrators are also local. As soon as you meet Tim you will know that you made the right decision.

He's for the people
I found Mr. O'Connor online doing a lawyer search after being denied by multiple lawyers. I contacted his office and received a call back from him. He LISTENED to me n my case after I felt I had no chance. Informing him I was not mobile he came to me that to me he cared for hia clients. Mr. O'Connor always kept me informed in a timely manner, explained me the process in which i can understand. I received results much faster than expected. I apperiacte his service and recommend him to anyone who needs legal help. Best experience for me in being in a situation like this for the forst time.

I highly recommend Tim O'Connor; as a colleague and as a lawyer; he has authored some of the most useful law review articles ever published in a law review. He has a practical yet highly skilled approach to clients problems and the law, and it has been an honor to associate with him on some very difficult cases.

Detailed and Professional
I had a dispute with a company that had many levels and details that was very complex. Tim took the time to review and detail out the year after year transactions which really made my case crystal clear and how we would ultimately resolve in my favor.

Tim O'Connor is a brilliant personal injury attorney!
In a world full of TV lawyers and their song jingles, Attorney Tim O'Connor stands out as an old school lawyer who thoroughly reviews each case. After dealing with rookie attorneys, paralegals and secretaries, it's a blessing to deal with a hands on lawyer like Tim who takes the time to dig into the real depths of an injury case, making sure no stone is left unturned. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a good lawyer.
