Beyond Grateful for Mr. O'hara and Team after our daughter was bit by a dog in the face

I hired Patrick as our lawyer when my daughter who was only 3 at the time got bit in the face by a family members dog. That family member chose to not take responsibility for the action's of her dog and so we were then forced to take legal actions because of the mounting medical bills. It was one of ...the most terrifying experiences of our lives and not knowing really what to do we called numerous attorneys and came across Patrick and his firm. From the minute we talked to him, he eased our fear and was so intentional with his questions and concerns for our daughter we knew he was the right fit and would fight for her to get her all that she needed. Our daughter had multiple surgeries and countless drs. appointments. The amount owed was substantial and with each and every step and decision we had to make during this extremely difficult journey Patrick and his team were there beside us, making us feel not so alone and supported through everything! I am so beyond grateful for this firm, their kindness in each and every call makes you feel not just like another client, but truly cared for and important. Patrick's perseverance and determination got us the money needed to pay our medical bills and more to allow our daughter the financial support to help her in the future if needed! I can not even begin to thank Patrick and team enough for all they did for our family! I would recommend Patrick to every single person who needs a personal injury lawyer, he is absolutely phenomenal!

Great communication

He called me immediately and I called back to give my information. He called back the same day to take my case. He sent the paperwork right away and I just sent it back. So far I am very impressed with his quick response and communication.

????

We found Mr. O'Hara to be an extremely courteous, polite, well spoken man. He was also very sensative in regards to our tragic situation. He took the time to listen and be patient while we were, no doubt, quite emotional. I feel that we were lucky to get hooked up with Patrick. He's a real profession...al. I'd recommend him to anyone. P.S. He also returns phone calls promptly.

Genuine and Stand-Up Attorney

Patrick went above and beyond expectations while handling an extremely fragile case for myself and my family. Patrick went the extra mile through each and every step to keep us well informed. I will never regret my decision in hiring this fine individual that stayed on top of all aspects of the case... from beginning to finish. There was not a single instance in when I was not able to reach Patrick to discuss or get an update throughout the case. The results were exactly what was agreed to and explained the first day we spoke. I will highly recommend Mr. O’Hara’s services going forward.
