Michael Jay O'Hara's Lawyer Endorsements
"Michael J. O'Hara is, by far, the most phenomenal attorney I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only is he incredibly intelligent and experienced, but he also has a genuinely kind and compassionate demeanor. He exudes passion for his work, maintains an unwavering dedication to service, and treats every client (and attorney) with respect. As an associate within the firm, I work with Michael day in and day out and can attest to his dedication to excellence and equal justice."
"Mike O'Hara is an awesome lawyer and a great guy. He gives each case he works on full effort, and pays attention to detail. I worked for him for a long time and was always impressed at his dedication to clients. I still work with him on several cases, probably about 6 or 7 right now. He knows employment and labor law, civil rights, and business litigation like no one else. I refer clients to him, and believe him to be one of the best lawyers I know. And I'm not just saying that because he is a friend, and he is a very good friend."
