Highly Recommend Mr. O'Connell

Mr. O’Connell is both an excellent lawyer and a good human being. He guided us through a very difficult time for our family and made himself available whenever we needed him. He genuinely cared about us and our situation and went to bat on our behalf. We trust Mr. O’ Connell and would recommend him... and his firm to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
