My family and I are always grateful!

With his aggressive knowledge of the law, Dennis O'Brien was able to reduce my charges from a felony to a deferred sentence. After a year of probation and classes, it will be sealed off my record. For that, my family and I are always grateful!

  • 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.
