Not impressed.

I hired Mr. O'Sullivan to deal with a restraining order I was seeking in 2020 on an individual who had been harassing me online - cyberstalking. Mr. O'Sullivan showed up to court dressed in a jacket that looked like he'd shopped at Walmart, NO notes and NO questions written down. I actually consid...ered firing him while I was on the stand testifying, his "assistance" was that bad. Perhaps TRO's are not his thing, since so many others here think he's just fine, and I should have hired someone more experienced with this issue. Not impressed. Fortunately, the experience of being in court, and the financial ramifications to this individual of being involved in court in this way, stopped the harassment, so the ultimate goal was achieved.

Highly recommend! Mr. O’Sullivan

Mr. O’sillivan was very easy to talk to very knowledgeable and professional. He did an outstanding job helping me through a DUI ticket. In just a few days he was able to get my case underway. He explained my part and was very precise on what I had to do. He was able the charges reduced and case r...esolved quickly. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney .

very pleased with this attorney

Terrance o'sullivan met all my expectations. He was my attorney for a criminal mischief case.Dont think for a moment , this isn't serious. I was accused of damaging property over a 1000 dollars. This case is a felony. I am pleased with terrance o,Sullivan. He knew what was best for me at all times. I... strongly recommend Mr.o'sullivan for all criminal cases. In a scale 1-10 Mr o' Sullivan and this firm is a 10. Thanks again Terrance! You've brought me back to happiness. It's all over, thanks to you.

Terrence O'Sullivan gets the job done!

I have consulted with Terrence O'Sullivan on numerous occasions for advice on criminal matters. He has always given me the right advice and I know that I can count on him when things don't go my way. Terrence is a man of his word and always gives it to me straight, even when I don't want to hear it.... I appreciate everything that Terrence has done for me over the years and I would recommend that anyone retain him as their lawyer.

Great representation

Terrance O'Sullivan represented me on a criminal case and the outcome was everything I could have hoped for. I contacted about a dozen attorneys and Mr. O'Sullivan was the best. He was completely honest and up front about what could happen and how he would go about giving me the best defense possible... . He is always available , always answers calls or texts at all hours. Most important, Mr.O'Sullivan is completely reasonable. Where others would ask for your life savings or your left arm Mr. O'Sullivan chooses not to take advantage. He is an outstanding person and I highly recommend him.

"I have been a colleague of Attorney Terrence O'Sullivan for the past 10 years. Mr. O'Sullivan is a truly gifted trial lawyer and tremendous criminal defense attorney. Terrence and I have tried numerous federal and state cases together, and all trials ended with great results. Having worked with Terrence on numerous "battles", I can give a first-hand account of his skills and professionalism. I can attest that Terrence O'Sullivan is a first-rate trial lawyer. He cares deeply about all his clients, and he works tireless to get great results in every case he handles. He is very bright and quickly sizes-up whatever case is before him. For those cases that are resolved by plea bargain, Terrence gets phenomenal results. For those cases that proceed to a jury trial, I have witnessed the tremendous skills Terrence has, and, most importantly, the great results he gets for his clients. He is a top-notch criminal defense and one who "goes to the mat" for everyone he represents."
