This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend!!

I was represented by Andrew O'Connell with O'Connell Law Firm for a workman's comp case. I am more than pleased with the legal assistance, advice and representation that I received. Andrew is such a nice, pleasant, caring, and honest person... and his knowledge, and professionalism is above top tier.... Andrew kept me informed on everything during the process from the beginning to the end. We were able to reach a settlement agreement with my now previous employer. It was such a pleasure working with Andrew, and it was an even more pleasure when I met him and his brother in person at their law office. I wish I could give them a million stars because I would. If I ever need this firm in the future, I would definitely have them represent me again. I would 'highly' recommend O'Connell Law Firm if you need legal representation for a workman's comp case, and all other services that they specialize in! Thank you so very much Andrew. You're amazing.

Great Attorney

I hired Andrew last year for my W/C case and I felt relieved after our first conversation .He took his time explaining all the different things that could happen with my case and made a plan of action. For over 6 months whenever I had a question day or night he responded to me via phone or text which... reassured me I had a attorney that actually cared for me and my case. I am walking away from my case satisfied and I am thankful for Andrew!

  • 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.
