Jay Timothy O'Brien

This guy is a DIVORCE lawyer. He sold me out on my 3rd court date. Tried to send me to jail for a year. Didn’t even know where I worked or anything about me. $2500 down the drain. this guy didn’t contest any evidence. Filed no motions. NOTHING. just had a 402 conference and sold me out. But his ot...her client who got caught drunk with cocaine and wearing bulletproof vest with guns got probation. Any attorney I talked to said u NEVER have a 402 with 2 peoples cases at the same time. This lawyer is not even known in the markham courthouse. Acts like he has juice with people. Nobody knows this guy. My new lawyer which is a TOP KNOWN LAWYER in cook county has been fighting for me 3 years now .... has left no stone unturned. Never sold me out and can call the judge ahead if it’s something to be asked. My new lawyer comes out the back with the courthouse staff cause he knows everybody there. Lol. He works for ME !!!! Jay Obrian is a will county divorce lawyer. He needs to stay in will county playing golf .... he is not a criminal lawyer. He will not fight for u. He only wants the money ... and had the nerve to send me letter once i FIRED him to say me going to jail is inevitable. Really. I’m still OUT !!!!!!! Because my lawyer is fighting. And won’t stop till the last trick is done. I don’t even have a criminal record but jay Obrian sold me out. what a JOKE !!!!!! I rather use a public defender than him. He should refund me my money ... and has the nerve to send his son in his place the days he can’t make it. at my bond hearing they said absolutely nothing to help. nothing. !!!!! Stay away from this guy and his office

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.

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.
