Patrick Michael O'Brien

Patrick took my case to trial instead of pushing me to take a deal that i was not comfortable with. We lost at trial but he never stopped fighting for me. After the jury found me guilty he kept fighting and the the Judge overturned the jury's verdict and i was found not guilty of the charges the sta...te brought against me.

I had originally hired Mr.Lawson, Mr.O'Brien's partner, for my case where I was charged for a Class B misdemeanor for speeding. Due to being out of town, Mr.O'Brien ended up representing me at court. My fine was cut to a minimum and the major charge dropped. Mr.O'Brien and Mr.Lawson both delivered ex...actly what they said they would and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. If I ever have to hire a lawyer again in Kankakee, I would definitely hire them again!

I will be brief but to the point. First off just buy seeing there has not been any reviews that are remotely recent I am sure the real posts get deleted. 2nd explained the case in great detail before hiring him, was reassured he could handle it no problem. Yet the following 6 court appearances was a...s if he never heard a single detail about my case? It finally got so bad he couldn't even remember if his client was or was not the respondent!!! Personally either playing Assistant states Attorney over in another county and let that title go to his head, or possibly his client load is so overwhelming that he couldn't possibly handle as many cases as one may think he has? In summary people if you want a ple bargan lawyer who does the bare minimum then O'Brien is definitely your guy! If you want someone to actually stand up and do what they say they will then I suggest anyone else!
