"I have had the pleasure of working with Thomas on several matters. He is an excellent lawyer who treats each client with respect and obtains great results for them. Thomas goes above and beyond for his clients. He is an excellent attorney."
"I endorse Thomas O'Brien. I had a medical billing insurance question and I couldn’t find an answer for my client after having spent hours reading through case law to find the answer. Through a google search, I found that Thomas had taught a seminar on the very same topic and I reached out to him and called. Not only did he return my call, but he spent 35 minutes on the phone explaining the law to me and helping me get past the place where I had been previously stuck. I am most appreciative and would feel confident referring clients to Thomas, as he is very knowledgeable and most helpful."
"I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. O'Brien in a professional capacity for nearly 10 years. Mr. O'Brien sets the standard for attorneys in his highly specialized SSD/SSI and VA Benefits practice. His attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and dedication to his clients is truly unparalleled. I unequivocally recommend and endorse Mr. O'Brien."
