Highly recommended

Attorney O’Connor is a very compassionate attorney. She listens to my concerns and the history of my case and grasped a full understanding of what I needed done to move my case forward. She educated me on the legal process and I was always aware of what the next steps were. Her assistant, Chyrl, is v...ery kind and communicative. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I would recommend Brandon Law to anyone looking for family/custody issues.

Professional AND KIND !

Attorney O’Connor was extremely helpful and professional in helping our family when faced with issue helping aging parents. Her court paperwork was top notch and processed quickly (with a successful outcome) – she answered emailed questions very quickly and whether in person or on the phone she unfa...ilingly kind with the family. She took time to carefully and precisely explain all paperwork. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for an attorney who will actually care about your case.

Tanya's impression went far beyond her title.

I hired Tanya in 2014 for a civil case that was initiated by the father of my son. My case was more unique than the average custody battle. I was a 21-year-old survivor of domestic violence who was still incredibly vulnerable. Tanya's immediate response was comforting. She described the leg...al jargon on the notices in a way that I could understand. Additionally, Tanya asked me what my goals were and in turn, respectfully acted based on my requests. She was honest and straight forward with everything - even topics that I didn't want to hear. I knew right away that Tanya and her staff were trustworthy. As my lawyer, Tanya kept me on track as well. She sent me reminders whenever a deadline or scheduled court date was near. I found this especially helpful because I was very busy as a mother, full-time student, and part-time employee. She reminded me of my goals, experiences, and morals as I made decisions throughout the case. This helped me to avoid acting purely from emotion and steered me towards making rational decisions. The most impressive part of our first consultation was the fact that Tanya didn't see me as only a client. She expressed this when she noticed my sensitivity and recommended that I seek counselling. Tanya's respect for my personal wellbeing was apparent in numerous cases. For example, she often spoke about the importance of religion and safety/precaution before we entered the courtroom. She would also go as far as escorting me out of the courtroom whenever my abuser was near. Moreover, Tanya referred me to a church and an organization for survivors of domestic violence. Both have assisted in my growth and focus during and after my case. Tanya made me feel confident and safe. I would say that she was one of the key contributors to my healing. For a busy woman, she kept me in mind and even reached out to me after my case was closed. She is not only an excellent lawyer, but an influential advocate.

Aly, it's been a blessing to be of service and be present to watch your transformation. You've not only endured, you've overcome! Thank you for sharing your story!

Professional and courteous

Mrs. O'Connor was both professional and courteous as she walked my ex husband and I through the divorce process. She made what for many people can be one of the ugliest things you could ever go through simple and straightforward by making sure we were aware of all the unknowns, which helped to elimin...ate unneeded stress. I highly recommend her practice to everyone. Her assistant Dara was also a pleasure to deal with at all times.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Tanya O'Connor professionally for 15 years as we both practice in the Tampa Bay legal community in the area of family law primarily. She is very knowledgeable, a great trial lawyer with a quick mind and she doesn't get caught off guard. But she's also as collaborative as they come, counseling spouses as to the best result for their restructured families, adults and children, both. She's one I never hesitate to recommend to a client she might help. I can't endorse Tanya strongly enough."
