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.

Mr. O'brien and his awesome team of attorneys handled my case with the upmost care and professionalism. From day one I felt that I was in good hands. When things came up, which they did frequently, I was notified immediately and given a plan. I was always given a explanation of what the law allows an...d how we would proceed. I would highly recommend Mr. O'brien and his team to anyone! They are the best!!

I was so disappointed by my relationship with Mr. O'Brien. He is very disrespectful and not reliable when it comes to his word. He was very frustrated with my case, as I was, and because of some things that HE did not follow through on as a professional, it cost me quite a bit of money. After contact...ing other agencies I was informed that my attorney did not follow through with necessary paperwork, again, costing me. Instead of trying to make things right due to mistakes HE made, he blamed me and was very verbal in his frustration of my case instead of doing what is needed to conclude the madness. My ex-husband’s attorney got the best of him and he let it happened, at my cost, while bills continued to be emailed to me. He never even offered to make things right when there were areas I did the research but in court, things were not presented accurately, as a result, I lost and it cost me, but yet the demand for money is consistently coming. When I communicated my concerns and issues, I received very disrespectful communication with nothing but a threat regarding billing and pointing out my shortcomings and downfalls. I had a much better relationship with his associates and secretaries. THEY were responsive and kept me informed.

My name is Jay R. Luchsinger. I am a trial attorney with over 20 years experience. I have tried scores of complex construction and industrial accident cases (representing plaintiffs) over the years. So I have a little knowledge about what constitutes effective courtroom lawyering. I say this beca...use I want to highly recommend Jay O'Brien. I went through a highly contested divorce in 2011 and into 2012. My ex is also a lawyer. I did not know Jay before I retained him. After asking around to fellow litigators for a recommendation, Jay's name came up several times. Boy am I glad I found him. He did a great job. He was agressive, knowledgeable, courtroom savvy, responsive and effective. It was also obvious that he was known and respected by the court. I cannot recommend Jay more highly.

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.
