World-Class Counselor

When you own a business, you need good legal representation. Pat O'brien is clear in explanation, succinctly presents possibilities, is frank in conversation and expeditious in results. Honest, knowledgeable and highly ethical, you always feel as if you are Pat's first priority. Deep research, ha...rd-hitting yet very principled and powerful presentations, all while being kind and cognizant of the stresses a lawsuit puts on the client. A top-notch litigator we are fortunate to call our counselor.

Lawyer Review

I've closely worked with Pat on several issues and I couldn't be happier with the service and RESULTS that he's achieved on each and every case. Pat is sharp, fair, and moves fast to bring the best result in each case which is in the best interest of the company. He takes his time and really does h...is homework and I consider him an industry expert which has proven vital in multiple cases. I highly recommend Pat to any busy executive who doesn't have a lot of time to hand-hold their lawyer yet NEEDS consistently favorable results.

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.
