Excellent Representation
Margaret was incredibly impressive with my difficult case. Due to the complex nature, it lasted 28 months and Margaret stuck through it like a champ maintaining her drive to get everything I wanted in my divorce. We did end up avoiding trial but had we ended up in trial, I know without a doubt Margar...

The Best Family Court Lawyer!
After leaving an abusive relationship, I knew I had to seek legal council to secure custody and the safety of my child. As soon as I met with Margaret O’Connor, I knew I would be in good hands.

I highly recommend Atty O'Connor

There were many complicated placement, tax and financial issues that were thrown at her and she knew exactly what to do every step of the way.

Compassionate and Understanding
I could always reach Atty. O'Connor, or she would return my call within 24 hours or less. She was honest. I sometimes didn't like the information, but she told me the truth about my options and gave me an honest opinion of how things would turn out. Her bill was reasonable, and she worked wit...
Thank you for the review. Client communication is of the utmost importance in our office. All calls are often returned the same day, but no later than 24 hours. All emails are usually responded to the same day. Keeping our client's informed is paramount to keeping a great attorney/client relationship going

Highly recommend Attorney O'Connor for your legal needs
If you need an attorney who can get the job done, then look no further. Margaret is very professional but is very easy to work with and easy to communicate with. She is responsive to concerns, knows the legal community in Racine and has great rapport with others in the community. My husband and I ...
Thank you for the great review. Although aggressive representation is often the way to approach a case, some times approaching negotiations with a softer and kinder approach can yield even better results. O'Connor Law Offices approaches all cases with an eye towards settlement of disputed issues, but we are always ready for trial if needed.
"Margaret has genuine concern and advocacy for her client's goals and interests. Going to law school together, and keeping in touch, including working together on a few cases over the years, she has continued her professionalism and zeal for the legal field and the clients she serves. She has my endorsement!"
"I endorse this lawyer. If you are a grandparent wanting guardianship call Margaret she's the best!"
"Margaret O'Connor is one of the best family law practitioners in Wisconsin and Illinois. I happily refer clients to her because Margaret is a zealous advocate who cares for her clients."
"Margaret is experienced and aggressive. I have no hesitation about referring clients to her for divorce and family matters."
"I've had the opportunity to work with Attorney O'Connor on a few case in which we were opposing counsel. She has always been professional, responsive, and very pragmatic in representing her clients. If you're in need of assistance with a family matter in the Racine community, I would highly recommend contacting her office."
