Kerry Vincent O'Brien

Kerry helped me tremendously during these trying times due to the Coronavirus and downturn in the economy. He completely explained to me what the laws were related to severance pay and dealing with the TWC. All out of the kindness of his heart. He knows people are needing help right now and it...'s not easy to go see and speak to an attorney. There are not many attorneys that would do this. Thank you again Kerry!

I hired Kerry for a breach of contract case. I'm highly disappointed that I hired him. You cannot trust him to do what he says he will do when you are not around. Kerry will talk like he is a tough attorney, but he is the furthest from tough. As an example, Kerry emailed the opposing attorney tha...t he was going to seek sanctions from the court against them for not providing us pivotal information... When I asked whether he did it? No Kerry didn't get the information nor ask for the sanction. Kerry's response was I was too demanding. YEP GUILTY, I'm a demanding client who asks for you to do what you said you would do. This happened repeatedly. Kerry just isn't capable of pushing the envelope. You will need to supervise his every move, including going to all court dates and depositions of the other side. Why do I say that??? Because in my case while Kerry agreed to ask the questions, we agreed he was going to ask during the deposition, he simply did not ask any of them. Kerry asked scattered questions and did not press for hard answers. Kerry asked a question during the deposition that made him look unprepared and when the response was "no". As crazy as the question was, Kerry just moved on. That is pretty much the way Kerry conducts himself with superficial questions but won't press for real answers or questions. Then there was the deposition of me by the opposing attorney. Kerry was glued to his phone and was so in-depth into something going on, after 5 minutes of opposing side doing something, they were instructed they WERE NOT to do, I the client stopped the video deposition to confront Kerry to get them to stop. Kerry jumped up like an old man caught sleeping on the couch and said, "YES I've noticed that has been going on for a while, that's right that needs to stop". There are several of other qualified attorneys, don't make the mistake I did in hiring him.

I was referred to Kerry by my attorney and for that I am very thankful. My situation involved non-payment of owed commissions. Kerry explained my rights under Texas law and my options. He was very clear in the explaining each step in the process. He won my case handily. Unfortunately, he still... had to put pressure on my former employer to make the necessary payments. He was admirable in applying pressure at the most appropriate times to gain a favorable settlement. Overall, Kerry is very knowledgeable and an expert in his field. He communicated with me on a regular basis and kept me abreast of all possibilities and potential outcomes. I felt he was in complete control of the proceedings. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I have several years of dealing with attorneys on a work level and had to obtain Mr. O'Brien's services for my own behalf because of a past employer. His insight on the issues, understanding the law and how the dynamics or intents were applied when the laws were written and following up on all matte...rs in a timely and professional manner led to an outcome that was to say the least WONDERFUL. Kerry kept me informed on every step that he was planning on taking and why. During this whole time, I was 1200 miles away from his office, but he was accessible to me as if I were walking across the street to speak with him when need be. Not only did his knowledge of the law and the understanding of the opposing parties including their attorney assist in a positive outcome for me, he did all this while being a true gentleman to everyone and showed a genuine caring attitude for helping the case become settled. Kerry explained what to expect and how they would rebut everything presented to not settle and he was spot on with his predictions. You only see this type of intuitiveness when a person has the solid background of dealing with these issues time after time and putting that information into a clear thought process that can be explained to anyone and then helping ease the anxiety we all feel when we are in these situations. I am very relieved to be past this drama that has been affecting my family and myself, but I am grateful that I reached out to Kerry and that he accepted the challenges.
