Excellent Criminal-Defense Attorney

Dennis is an excellent criminal-defense attorney. He's a military and police veteran who has taken the tenacity and experience that he acquired in those roles and combined them with an unsurpassed knowledge of federal and state criminal law and procedure to be one of the premier criminal-defense att...orneys in Georgia. Dennis and I have consulted each other concerning many federal criminal matters over the past several years, and each of those experiences have been not only positive, but outstanding. I highly recommend Dennis to any person who needs an experienced, knowledgeable, and aggressive criminal defense attorney in federal or state court.

He has a clear understanding of the applicable laws

Dennis O'Brien handled our son’s case. He responded to our first call immediately and met with our son that day. He has a clear understanding of the applicable laws and gave clear and concise advice. And he was instrumental in obtaining a great settlement offer from the court.

Outstanding attorney.

Outstanding attorney. He is an expert in the legal field, I had no questions left unanswered, and he covered and resolved all aspects of my case. A phenomenal communicator, Dennis gets his point across eloquently and succinctly, easy to understand. He really helped me a lot during my case.
