Incomparable Legal Expertise With Exceptional Results

I'm very thorough when it comes to researching and finding the best of the best legal representation. I was charged with assault and domestic violence by my spouse and sadly both charges were bogus from the start. After my initial consultation with Attorney O'Connor he went right to work on my case. ...I hired Attorney Edward J. O'Connor, Jr and he provided thorough and comprehensive legal wisdom, expertise and execution of not one, but two cases and brought them to resolution. Both charges were dropped and were it not for Attorney O'Connor's excellent legal mind and tenacity, I would have been put in prison. I highly recommend Attorney O'Connor because he is a well respected and a second to none lawyer, he's simply the best. Were it not for Attorney O'Connor I would have lost my two young children and for this I'm thankful to God for directing me to this exceptional lawyer. If you need a lawyer that happens to be the best in the legal arena, Attorney Edward J. O'Connor and his staff should be your first and only choice for legal representation. Thank you Attorney O'Connor.

The best I've ever had!

Ed has always been there to answer any questions and get right on the case when I need him. I like the fact that he will just help me over the phone with my problem(s). He seems to be in this line of work to actually help people and not himself. He is honest,sincere and a genuine" good guy". He is ex...tremely competent and thorough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
