Matthew Joseph O'Connor

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.

This crazy lunatic came to my house two nights in a row after I talked to him on the phone and he sent me an invoice to my email, but came to my home demanding Xanax and Adderall and money and he tried to scare me with intimidation and I sent him $401 on Cash app just because it was an auto amount an...d I was in distress and I wanted to look Weird and then he didn’t even bother to try to post the invoice. He just stole my money and disappeared. He is obviously a drug addict. Only a junkie would act this way. Be careful.

Judge for yourself, which reviews are true and which are people who have sour grapes, which may be of a personal nature and clearly malicious. They don’t talk about their case. They don’t talk about the results they just attack. And that’s unfortunate. I spent 30 years giving heart and soul blood sw...eat and tears to the profession I was grateful and privileged to serve. my record speaks for itself, And, it is truly sad that two years after some health problems, caused me to slow down and not take new cases. That people felt the need to post, false, malicious, and hateful reviews on every format they could find these are people who never built anything or never create anything or never attain a professional degree and you never communicated any complaints if they ever clients. Judge for yourself. True reviews give details of the matter and relate the experience I had in factual terms, not conclusions. But it’s not my job to judge. Nor would I violate the sanctity of the confidential information related to representation. What I can tell you is after being harassed, threatened, and attacked by an imbalanced person that clearly needs help, I am not angry, but concerned and have compassion for those who seek to tear down because of their own issues. Thankfully, my health has improved, but after 30 years of giving my best, working 20 hour days more often than one should, and caring about each and every client ….that the time for me to endure misplaced and malicious attacks…ended. While many of the families that I was privileged to assist still reach out to coax me to take up their cause, I will not. When those in need of mental health care attempt to cause harm to my family, they must expire in their own negative energy. And, be grateful that I chose not to wield the sword of justice and rebuke their attempts to harm. After all, what is the sound of one hand clapping. Last, thank you to thousands of clients that I was so honored to assist. For 30 years, I lived the motto when you love your job you will never “work” a day in your life. So true, it was true gift to be able to say “I can help” and then exceed the expectations of decent folk. So, thank you! Life is an amazing journey and it’s magnificently imperfect. It is what … it is. Yours Matthew O’Connor

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.

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.
