Christopher J. O'Brien

Let me start by saying that Chris and his Team are top notch professionals. While visiting the Buffalo Niagara area I was involved in a life altering accident. After hours of research I contacted and hired Chris. Chris and his Team kept me informed, were there when I needed them , and by far exceed...ed my expectations with a 7 figure settlement. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a personal injury attorney. Contact Chris. You will not regret it. One of the smartest decisions I have ever made was contacting The O'Brien Firm. RH Texas

Living in New York there are rules, regulations and realities which, when filing a personal injury lawsuit, you should be aware of. Some of these realities limit awards and most are not designed for the benefit of the plaintiff (that would be you if you initiated a personal injury lawsuit). It is m...y personal belief that the system favors the defendants and the defending insurance companies. The defending insurance companies have the job of saying no. The defending insurance company will delay, attack you, file senseless reasons for your injuries, etc.; all of which is designed to get you to give up or take whatever is offered. It is up to you, the plaintiff, to prove that you are injured and have suffered an economic loss. So, it was with great trepidation I stepped into the personal injury lawsuit world. I called one of the two big tv advertising personal injury firms. I went through two attorneys and the case languished. Since the lawsuit was filed, I needed to find someone else to be my champion. Interestingly enough several of my trusted friends mentioned The O'Brien Firm. I am glad they did and proud to say that Chris O'Brien was my attorney. If you are considering hiring an attorney to be your champion, do not hire Chris O'Brien if you do not want the truth. If you are looking for an attorney who will always tell you what you want to hear, go somewhere else. Chris is an anomaly in the world of personal injury attorneys, especially large case volume firms – He’s honest and forthright. He may tell you things you do not want to hear and there are going to be things you do not want to believe … but listen. He knows what he is talking about. He will explain everything. We enter the realm of personal injury lawsuits with dreams of millions of dollars dancing in our heads. Well achieving that may or may not be possible. Chris will tell you what you can expect; and it is an honest assessment based on your case and his years of experience. Chris has a “take no prisoners” approach when working for you. Chris is always thinking how best to counter act whatever the other side files or tries. He will line up the necessary documentation to counter. He will assemble the necessary expert doctors or other experts to counter. Each step in implementing his strategy is well thought out and expertly executed. While you may not understand why he is doing what he is doing – trust it. As I said, I do not trust the system. I do trust Chris O’Brien. I trust his knowledge, experience and brilliant strategic mind. The best part of working with Chris is that he does not give up until he gets the full extent of what you can be awarded.

Almost 6 years ago I was in an awful accident that changed everything. A family member referred me to Chris and for 5 years this man fought for me. He was compassionate, honest, and straightforward. He kept me informed and up to date with the smallest of details. Any time I had a question he was the...re with an answer. Because of his hard work and dedication my case finally settled this past August. My accident, surgeries, loss of work and the constant roller coaster ride of the lawsuit did a number on myself and my family, but because of Chris we have finally moved on. If you are looking for an attorney that has your best interests in mind then call Chris. He's absolutely amazing.

After months of them doing hard work and answering our questions and being available, Chris got the result that we deserved. We first went to Chris after another lawyer told us we had no case. Chris told us that our case would be difficult but that he believed it was worth pursuing. I always felt lik...e my questions were answered and nothing was shady like those car chasers you see on TV. The staff, Mary, Judy and Patrice were all awesome. I always felt like I was dealing with a reputable place. At the end, they all feel like family. The new lawyer at Chris' place, John Ford, also really cares about what he does and is a passionate fighter.

For nearly a month I had no idea what I was suppose to do after being immobile from a car accident. After calling Mr. O'Brien ,I was happy he offered to come to my home to view my injury,since I could not walk. Chris and his firm made me feel that no question was unanswerable. The Law firm worked w...ith me to get the best answers and settlement that Chris felt I deserved.I am now on my way to getting back on my feet and continue to strive for a better life. He fought for my rights and won a wonderful settlement that took me out of the debt I accumulated. He gets a 10 star rating!
