Joseph Pierce O'Brien

Joe did an incredible job making sure that I received the best possible outcome with my divorce. He answered my calls and emails promptly, was very knowledgable and I always felt quite confident in his abilites and he looked out for my best interest. When appearing before the judge or my ex's attorne...y, I felt he was professional and persuasive.

If you are looking for an extraordinary, extremely knowledgeable family law attorney, your search is OVER!!! Joe is intelligent, hardworking and honest attorney. Best of all, he is very reliable. I could not have gone through this terrible drawn out divorce and custody battle without him. He made ...me feel like I was his only client. He is not an attorney that is out to increase his wealth by decreasing yours. He has your best interest at heart. He will not mislead you. He is very thorough, keeps you aware of what is happening with your case and simplifies complex issues in an effort to make sure that you clearly understand. He is detailed, attentive and keeps communication lines open at all times of the day. I wish I had met Joe sooner as opposed to my original attorney who I started my divorce with. Joe is an amazing attorney and I am so thankful to have worked with him. I knew I wanted to hire him immediately after our initial consultation. Joe listened to my emotional rant, but was then able to rationally guide me back to the legal matters at hand. Throughout the process, Joe was incredibly focused on my and my daughter’s best interests, but was also willing to listen to my concerns when they arose. I found that Joe was organized, responsive, extremely professional, and dedicated throughout my entire case. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone going through divorce and custody. I finally felt like I had an attorney who actually wanted to help my family as opposed to take my money and make things worse so he can get more money out of me down the road. I am so relieved to have had him represent me during the case as well as fight long and hard for me during trial. To Joe - I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for all of your hard work and dedication on my case. My family and I are forever grateful to you and I could not have done this without your help and guidance. I can never thank you enough.

Mr. O'Brien came highly recommended to us by four top attorneys in downtown Chicago. We decided to choose Mr. O'Brien based on these recommendations. Our reason for hiring Mr. O'Brien was an adoption case. My husband wanted to adopt my eight year old daughter and the biological father decided to b...lock this after never seeing this child and never paying a dime in support. Nor did he ever seek visitation or any kind of custody. This was a unique case given the circumstances. To make things worse, this person had been arrested twice in the past two years once for theft and once for drug possession--definitely not the type of person one would want near their child. Mr. O'Brien was very honest with us. He spent time with us explaining his game plan and given the extreme circumstances he was very considerate, honest, and he kept our daughter's best interest in mind. The case took almost a year and throughout that year Mr. O'Brien maintained steady contact with us and he was diligent in fighting for our child. When we hired Mr. O'Brien we told him "you are not fighting for us, you are fighting for our daughter." In the end, we won our case and my husband was allowed to adopt my daughter. I feel our family will always be in debt to Mr. O'Brien. I truly believe he saved our daughter's life and we will be forever grateful. Court is scary no matter what the circumstance is....if you need to go to court, Mr. O'Brien is who you want fighting for you.

There are not enough good things that can be said about joe. He was able to guide me through a difficult process with ease due to his knowledge and sensitive demeanor. He explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. Joe is not just an excellent attorney, but a kind and caring perso...n who treats you with respect and compassion during a very difficult time.

Mr. O'Brien recently handled my divorce. Joe was very informative, knowledgable, professional and sensitive to the emotions of the situation. I always felt informed and comfortable with the proceedings and never asked a question that was not explained back to me in complete deltail. Overall i was v...ery please in every aspect of the services Mr. O'Brien provided.
