Posted by Paula | July 08, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Paula contreras from Huntington beach CA.

Dennis is one of thee smartest people I have ever met. I met him when I was 20yrs. When I was 25 I used him for my attorney. I had finally had enough of my life style at 35. I am now 48. He has really been a huge part of my life even when I was on the run. The changes he has seen me go thru. He alway...s had faith in me. I am now a small business. An ex convict. But thank u Dennis O'conell for never letting me down

VERY GOOD LAWYER

"My son was wrongly charged in a very serious murder for hire homicide case arrested and put on one million-dollar bail. We contracted with Dennis who reviewed close to 15,000 pages of police reports and transcripts from three prior trials involving the actual people did the crime . Once he was ready... he delivered a strong well-prepared and dynamic defense . He established all of the discrepancies and lies that were the basis of my sons supposed involvement . The jury saw the truth because Dennis and his team presented the defense with fact not fiction. He not only won the case but all through the ordeal gave not only my son but also the entire family encouragement and support. It was an ugly experience that no one should ever have to endure, but because of Dennis my son is back on his way to recovery and not in prison. Dennis faced a very powerful "slick" DA who had never lost a case before. We are so glad we had such a strong attorney and Dennis was prepared and ready for all the theatrics. "

Did a good job in representing me

Attorney O'Connell was hired to represent me on a misdemeanor case out of Riverside County. He kept me well informed of all the court proceedings and what my options were. I decided to follow his advise and I feel it was the best option for me.
