Best lawyer in town !!

Jay did an excellent job in helping me with my nasty divorce case and doing everything in his profession to help me and my girls. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with divorce and custody battle... Thanks Jay !

CLASS ACT

Jay handled my divorce in 2008. He is extremely bright, very knowledgeable of the laws, and the complex court system. He doesn't leave a stone un-turned. He was gentle, when my emotions took over, but firm when needed. He saw it through all the way to the end, and showed up for every appointment and ...court date as scheduled. He came beyond prepared, even supplying a document that my soon-to-be x 's attorney did not have. Jay ate that other attorney for breakfast, had a relationship with the judge that was clearly mutual respect both ways. If you need an attorney, look no further than Jay O Brien. I am in need of help with custody, and I am going back to Jay for legal representation.

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.
