Joseph Pierce O'Brien

Mr. Obrien and associates, I wanted to take the time to thank you for being my advocate. It has been a very long year and the relief I feel is not because anything was won or lost. My relief is in the fact that things turned out as fair as possible for my family and now we can move on ...to redefine and reinforce what our family picture looks like. At no point has the process been easy. However, Joe provided me an attorney experience which I very seriously doubt can be matched. At no point was anything sugar coated. I did not have a yes man. I did not have a "pit-bull." I had a professional advocate who prepared and guided me for a realistic outcome within the parameters of the law. That statement sounds sanitized of emotion. However, Joe has the most incredible way of holding you to the realistic truth while assuring you at the same time of his conviction to your cause. I do not feel like I paid an attorney. I feel like I thanked my friend, my advocate, and if I'm being transparent, my statutory hero. It is very true that not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear really, really nice suits and display impeccable fashion sense. However, no matter what they wear, they can't do what they do without support staff that are equally dedicated. That is why I want to address you all. I regret to only know some of you through phone calls and emails as I know that good men only surround themselves with good people. Please know that everything you do matters more than you can ever know. We often lose sight of the meaning behind the everyday, repetitive tasks performed because it doesn't come full circle. From my family to all of you.......Thank you for being part of ours for this period of time and giving us the best experience possible. I pray that when I finish law school I will be half the attorney Joe is and be as blessed to have an incredible staff supporting me. Many, Many Blessing to all of you.

I hired Joe based upon a personal referral. I had experience with terrible lawyers in the past which drained my limited funds, and went on to represent myself pro-se successfully, for a few years. When my ex got a lawyer, I knew I needed representation once again. My experience with Joe was fantastic.... I had already begun my case and had filed motions and petitions and he was able to listen to what I had started, what I wanted and needed from him, and was able to pick up where I was, and deliver. My case was strictly financial but dealt with many different and confusing aspects of child support modification, retroactive support, defaulted support, arrears payments and other expenses. He was able to effectively work with opposing counsel, correct their "errors" and we were able to compromise and come to an agreed order without needing to argue anything in front of the judge. I highly recommend Joe and would most definitely choose him to represent me again. He restored my faith in lawyers after a TERRIBLE and beyond costly past experience. He is competent, composed and effective inside and outside the courtroom.

Joe was instrumental in helping me understand the divorce process, as well as reaching an agreement with my spouse that was fair, and protected my best interests. Anytime I had questions or concerns, he responded in a timely and professional manner. Throughout an otherwise stressful time, Joe was the...re as my voice of reason, helping me through this difficult period in my life, and I cannot express how thankful I am for his services. I would highly recommend Joe to others who are going through divorce.

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!

My colleagues highly recommended that I hire Mr. O'Brien to represent me in my divorce and I quickly came to know why. He was a strong advocate and readily available throughout the entire process. I was extremely pleased with my outcome and would recommend his services to anyone in need of a solid ...family law attorney.
