Do not hire this person!!!

This asshat was assigned to me as a public defender in 1995. He is a very condescending and dishonest person. He flat out lied to me about the details of a plea agreement and caused great harm and distress to myself and my family. I have since had that case expunged and removed from my record but i...t should have never been adjudicated against me to begin with.

To Em

It’s not just us !!!! Em would you mind contacting us. We have our own horrible experience with this Lawyer. We are over $25,000 into it with Zero results!! He will not show where the money has gone. He won’t show up to court and acts as if he is overwhelming put out by be being asked ANYTH...ING about the case IF you can actually make contact with him. Maybe he was a good Lawyer at one time but experience is that he is a scam artist.

Matt O'Connor Super(selfish) Lawyer! He works diligently to serve his OWN interests. He goes above and beyond to NOT help you

I am very dissatisfied with how my case was handled. After finally reaching an agreement with the opposing counsel, they refused to honor the agreement. Unfortunately, Mr O'Connor did nothing to see that the agreement was honored; he made absolutely no effort on my behalf. This could have been resol...ved in my favor during the final court hearing however, Mr. O'Connor did not bother to show up in court that day for the hearing. In addition to mishandling my case, Mr. O'Connor's behavior toward me was utterly repugnant. While we were preparing for the hearing, Mr. O'Connor was extremely impatient and condescending. When I hired him I told him that I had never been in court before and had no idea what to expect. Rather than explain what the Judge's expectations would be, how best to answer questions, and walking me through the process, he belittled me and even yelled at me. Mr. O'Connor turned a situation that was stressful and upsetting to begin with into a complete nightmare.

Excellence

When I first met Matt it was lt was in the late 1990's. A friend introduced me to him to handle a personal injury and work comp case. The other party didn't want to settle and we had a trial. Needless to say Matt had his A game working and he easily picked apart the witnesses one being a traffic expe...rt who lied during his testimony. It was a great day and from that day my family and I have only used Matt and he 20 years later is noy just an attorney, he's family.

Lawyer with a heart. ..who knew?!? :)

The O'Conner Law Firm is amazing. Matt truly went a above and beyond our expectations. He made what was a horrible situation for me and my family, easy and less of a mess. When I was laid up in bed rest for a long period of time...With 2 small children. ..they came to me. We always were kept in the ...know...and they always responded quickly when we had questions. I would recommend Matt to my family and friends...even strangers. He's the best!
