100%

I never doubted Jay's ability and skill as a lawyer. He is very competent and knowledgeable in his field. Jay listened and guided me through my divorce and kept in mind how I wanted to proceed with the case. He offered sound advice and keeping with my best interests, always allowed me the final say... on what he would do regarding the divorce. Jay gave me the whole picture of what may or may not happen in my divorce case which was very beneficial to me because I had no prior knowledge of divorce or what to expect. Before I even began any legal proceedings, he recommended a professional for me to talk with to help me regain my self worth and self respect. This gave me the ability to think clearly and have the emotional strength I needed to get through an unexpected and unwanted divorce. I have every confidence and trust with Jay O'Brien and the staff who work with him.

EXCELLENT

Mr. O'Brien was my divorce lawyer. You get what you want with him. He subopinaed records, kept me well informed. He has a wonderful staff. Mr. O'Brien fought for me all the way. If you have a problem he fixes it, you have a question he answers it. I had one lawyer and all they did was drag the ...divorce on for a year and a half, then told me to drop something which I won't mention and I would be divorce in six weeks, they didn't fight for my rights, my lawyer number two, kept the divorce going for a year, didn't fight for me. They say the third time is a charm. Well, Mr. O'Brien fought for me all the way to the court house. Someone told me that you never win in a divorce, well, I did, and was divorced in six months. So you need a good lawyer, Jay O'Brien is the man.

Highly Recommended

I recently used Jay in a custody case and he was fantastic throughout my entire case. Not at any time was he passive, he was completely thorough, and he fought for me the entire time. I could not be happier with his service. I have recommended him to friends and family, and would continue to recommen...d him to anyone.

Jay O'Brien is Fantastic

I worked in the same office building as Jay for 3 years and had gotten to know him very well. I also had the chance to talk with many of his clients that left his office when I was out on my Cigarette breaks. In the 3 years that I was in his building, not one client ever said anything bad when I ask...ed how they liked him. They all said they would recommend him in a minute. He is wonderful, extremely intelligent, makes you feel comfort and spells everything out in terms that us laymen can understand. A CLASS ACT. One day I found myself needing his services because my husband wanted a divorce. I stopped in to make an appointment and 10 minutes later I received all call from my soon to be ex stating that he was referred to the best lawyer in Will County and he was calling him today. I told him I already retained mine and asked who his was. He said our good friend who is also an attorney recommend Jay O'Brien. I laughed and said "Iv'e got good news and bad news for you buddy". The good news is that you are correct in stating that Jay is the best of the best but the bad news is that I already retained him. What a small world we live in. Jay's staff is also outstanding. If you are reading this post and are looking for an attorney that is at the top of his game and truly cares about his clients, Jay O'Brien is your man.
