Jay Timothy O'Brien

Throughout the years I have retained Attorney Jay O’Brien to represent my son on various domestic relations matters. I have found his representation to be of the highest quality as far as legal knowledge, experience, reliability, and courtesy are concerned. He has never hesitated to respond to our... phone calls whenever we had questions about the progress of the cases and was open to meeting with him in his office. Every single matter was resolved to our satisfaction. One cannot ask for a better track record than that. I first met Attorney O’Brien when I sat as a circuit court judge in the Sixth Municipal District of the Circuit Court of Cook County. As a judge, I worked with many lawyers during my 20-year career. When my son needed legal representation, the only person who came to mind was Jay O’Brien. He did not disappoint. I recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality legal representation.

I was recommended to Jay from a previous client. I was told he's a tad expensive but worth it. From my first meeting with Jay I was hooked. He listened to everything I was saying. I knew in my heart he genuinely cared for me and was definitely going to fight for me and fight hard. I explained how... sneaky and nasty my ex was. Obviously not the first nasty ex Jay has dealt with he jumped right in and was on top of everything. My ex had hidden funds and spent marital funds on gifts and vacations for his girlfriend, Jay nipped that immediately. My ex's attorney was no match for Jay. Jay had to handle other obligations and I was given Jessica or shall I say I was given to Jessica. She was just as amazing and just as brutal and tough as Jay. Although at times the communication could have been a teensy bit better by keeping me in the loop about what our next step will be and why we were doing what we were doing but I blame it on how focused and determined Jessica was to conquer this beast. Jessica was so confident and powerful I could see my ex lower his head every time she spoke. My proceedings lasted almost 28 months but not by fault of my attorneys. My ex's attorneys were pulling crap out of the sky to try and trip mine up and drag it out even longer but it didn't work my attorneys were done with the dog and pony show that they put on. To anyone out there afraid to take this step, walking through Jay O'Brien's doors and letting his firm take over and get what is rightfully yours is the hardest but the best step you can take. At one point Jay told me that I need to trust him and if I didn't then we need to go our separate ways. He told me I don't like to lose. This being my first dealing with an attorney I was scared and I was afraid every attack from my ex's attorney I needed to battle back but I didn't that's what Jay and Jessica were prepared to do and they did. Jay's firm CRUSHED my ex. I got everything I deserved and then some and then some more. My daughter and I will be truly okay. Protect yourself take the step so you can enjoy life again. Get an attorney who's not afraid to fight back, hire this firm. I cannot express how thankful I am that I scheduled an appointment and walked into the beginning of my new life.
