Fantastic Representation

Colin and I have been working together for years on a difficult collaborative case that would ebb and flow due to conditions that were outside of our control. Colin always made time for me when I reached out via multiple media options and together we negotiated a very fair settlement for both partie...s involved. I could not have done this without Colin's expertise, leadership, negotiation skills and forward thinking. I would and will continue to recommend Colin for legal representation to anyone interested in a Collaborative Law resolution to their situation.

As good as they come

Colin O'Connor represented me in 2009 and again in 2016. I recommend him without hesitation. Colin knows the law and brought me his personal commitment, years of experience and when needed solid personal advice. He was always available and responsive and always maintained his focus and composure.... His fees were reasonable and fair. Colin is scrupulous about working toward constructive solutions without running up avoidable costs, but when there was a need to go to Court he showed effective advocacy, a strong presence and great situation sense before the Court.

Fair and Friendly - Got me through a tough time

Colin was caring and thorough from day one, advised me each step of the way, and was able to negotiate a Divorce Settlement with my ex without having to go to court, and in record time. While his hourly rate seemed high at the time, his efficiency and billing practices more than made up for it. I wou...ld definitely hire him again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
