Devon P. O'Connell

I know what it is like to desperately search for a great attorney, knowing it can make all the difference, which is especially important when you are the party who has far less money, a custody disagreement at hand, and a difficult divorce in general. Thankfully, after searching and searching, I foun...d one attorney who gave me quality family law attorney recommendations, and she recommended Devon O’Connell. Devon represented me in my divorce and child custody case. She is an excellent balance between knowing when to mediate and when to take your case to court. Considering the other party was aggressively litigative, Devon represented me for years and multiple times in the courtroom. She is nothing less than phenomenal in and out of the courtroom: very intelligent, very knowledgeable of the law, very experienced in family law, and clearly respected by the law community. Devon was the perfect balance of fighting for everything I should have yet realistic on what would likely be the end result. I am extremely happy with her representation and can testify she is excellent with difficult cases. I know her representation is the reason my case was as successful as it was.

As a long time practicing attorney, I know what it means to work hard for a client, to counsel a client, and to advocate for a client. And that is why I hired Devon to represent me. Devon does all of those as well if not better than any attorney I have ever known. She came highly recommended and I ...couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. She clearly communicated the strengths and weaknesses of my case, gave me an honest perspective based on her vast experience, and allowed me to make an informed decision, always immediately responsive to my questions and concerns. It was also very apparent to me during my litigation that Devon has the respect and admiration of her colleagues and the court where we appeared. She is reasonable too, and as such considers the costs of protracted litigation to her client from a financial perspective, but also from an emotional one. In my case, it was necessary to litigate, and I can say with confidence that Devon's skills in the courtroom, her command of the facts and law, were the reason we were successful in our suit. I recommended Devon to another professional, a friend of mine, and I know that his experience with her mirrored mine. There are other good civil litigators in this state, but I don't think there is a better one.

Divorce is such a stressful time in anyone’s life. Devon’s expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my recent case. The fact that she excepted my case pro bono was a tremendous blessing during a very difficult and uncertain time in my life. Devon’s... excellent communication and prompt responses were very reassuring and alleviated a lot of anxiety. She is a genuinely caring person as well as a top notch attorney. I would not hesitate to recommend Devon to anyone looking for an experienced divorce attorney.

Devon is an exceptional attorney. She understands family law and her years of experience allow her to move clients through the legal and court process seamlessly. Most importantly, Devon's empathetic leadership provides clients with compassionate representation and advice that helps guide them thro...ugh their most challenging times. She is professional, honors confidentiality and does an outstanding job.
