Joseph Pierce O'Brien

I found Joe O'Brien in Avvo.com when he answered a very complex question to a very complex case. It struck me he continued to email back and forth to understand what I was trying to deal with without charging me. He demonstrated having a true vocation for the profession and that for him it is more th...an just the money. Four years later, I can honestly say Joe has moved my case in significant strides and to be honest, I did not think it would be possible. For the first time in my life, I have hope. Joe has a very high level of emotional intelligence -- rare amongst attorneys in this field -- at least in my experience. Very strategic, composed, calm great ability to explain things in a simple way. He treats you as if you are the most important person in the world and demonstrates empathy and compassion while keeping things objective and sticks to the facts. He knows how to manage things extremely well in and out of the Court Room. Never experienced anything like it. Joe operates at another level -- years down the road we will read about him doing some truly amazing things. No doubt in my mind.

Joe represented me in a divorce case. He was excellent, always communicating with me the status of the case. He was always available and followed through. What I really liked working with him was that I felt that I was working with an individual and not a big law firm. He knew all the intricacies of ...the case and he was respectful to my spouse. We were able to resolve the case cordially.

I retained Joe at the very end of my case. My attorney before him made a mess out of what should have been a winning case. Joe came in with only a few days to prepare, and created the best possible outcome of my divorce - which is finally finished. He listened to my concerns, prepared like pro, c...ommunicated clearly what he needed from me (documents), then used that information to negotiate effectively. In the final day of my case, I won everything I could have. He made me feel hopeful before the day of trial, while also being straightforward about what realistically likely happen. He was able to use evidence to my benefit to avoid trial (trials are ridiculously expensive). And he delivered a MUCH a better result than I thought possible. Joe is sharp as a tack, compassionate and really cares about helping. He is conscious of the expenses involved, and works hard to thoroughly and passionately attain the best result for his client, without wasting your time or resources (like my former attorney did). He wont nickel am down dime you to the brink of bankruptcy, like so many attorneys do. If you want a skilled and brilliant attorney, you should already be expecting to drop some coin. But his rates are more than fair for the quality representation you will get (aka he's worth every dime, and then some). If your resources are limited, borrow the money to hire Joe, instead of someone more expensive who won't get the results you need. You won't regret it. He's respected in the legal community and well-liked by other attorneys and judges. (He knows the temperament of judges, and knows what to expect from them.) It helps immensely when negotiating the terms of your case. His common sense approach to solving problems is easier to understand for the client, but is also well beyond a level in law that I could muster. Hire Joe if you want to win. Don't wait. Don't give a different attorney a "chance". An incompetent lawyer will damage your case. Joe is the opposite. He communicates in whatever medium you find most comfortable (phone, email, even a bit of texting!) He's flexible, and accessible. He cares. Don't miss the opportunity to hire Joe. He will be straight forward with you, and speaks in a way you can absorb the most information and make your decisions accordingly. Joe knows the law. But he is not an arrogant know-it-all like so may attorneys are. He listens, he empathizes with people. He's talented at observing others needs, wants, and also is highly intuitive. He'll know if your opposition is being dishonest, and he will strategize (with you) to expose that. Liked and respected by judges, attorneys and clients. I believe that Joe is going places! Hire him now before he probably moves on to becoming a judge! I would never deal with another attorney for family law issues - which are likely to materialize in my future. The case is settled, but he's already thinking ahead about ways to improve my situation. He cares and will work hard and brilliantly for you. Hire him and take his advice. He knows what he's doing. He's among the best of the best! I feel blessed to have him on my team, and only regret not hiring him much sooner. Don't lose any time. Consult with him now!

I had already been in a very difficult position and spent the last 6 years in a nasty custody battle when I first contacted Joe O'Brien. I explained to him my situation and he immediately took on my case, when plenty of other attorneys had recently told me it was a losing case, and they wouldn't acce...pt me as a client. I knew it wasn't a losing case. I cannot put into words the helpless position I felt I was in. Countless court dates and continuances for over half a decade with 3 prior attorneys, 4 different judges, countless funds thrown out the window, and still things were looking as bleak as ever, I felt I had gotten nowhere. Then I contacted Joe O'Brien and after 3 consecutive successful court dates in a row later, with Joe as my attorney, I had reached my goal in a fraction of the time it had already taken. He knows the system, he knows what may come up and prepares you for it, and he knows as a parent himself how important this all was to me. I very highly recommend his services, he is a great guy and a great lawyer.

Joe is a great attorney. Besides an attorney, he is a regular guy and a family man that understands your needs when you consult with him, he is honest, knowledgeable, and very professional. When he is in court, he is a machine. Nothing gets past him. Detail oriented and very impressive. He really k...nows his stuff and is a great trial attorney! He really cares about his clients and the result of your case shows his passion for his profession. He did an outstanding job for me which wasn't a simple everyday divorce case. I was very pleased in the way he handled it from beginning to end and the office staff is outstanding. They are always available for you and very accommidating. Joe never leaves you hanging and unsure in any way. Joe Obrien is well recognized and respected by his peers. The reason is he's just a straight shooter that delivers results. Just a damn good attorney and not to mention very reasonable as far as his fees. You get way more than you pay for when you hire Joe Obrien and walk away with piece of mind!
