Excellent

A friend referred Brian to me and I used his services on a case. He is a dedicated attorney who will fight for you. I will recommend him to any family or friend needing an attorney.

Exceptional, professional and considerate experience

I could not be more pleased having Mr. O’Connor represent me during what was a difficult time for me. His expertise coupled with his sincere compassion and accessibility made my experience as smooth as it could possibly be.

Opinion changes based on the day of the week

I consulted with Brian two times via telephone. It's my opinion that when you talk to a lawyer, they are responsible for any advice they give you - whether or not you pay them. The attorney-client privilege extends to that first conversation. The times I consulted with him, he gave conflicting advi...ce based on the same situation. the first time I talked to him, he was nice about things and said he would be interested in the case, but the second time I consulted with him about it, he was not interested, didn't remember the things we had talked about, didn't listen to the facts very well, and gave completely different advice. So, I could not hire him because I do not trust his opinion. And I can't recommend him for the same reason. He was also rather rude.

Great experience working with Brian

Brian was always available and could be reached immediately when I had questions or concerns. He is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
