This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Grateful for his help and calm demeanor!

We had an unfortunate circumstance where our property was damaged by our neighbor’s water leak. The situation went south when there was no acceptance of liability on the neighbor’s part. They then handed it over to their insurance company, which is where it sat. We were recommended to the law firm C...onor worked for at the time. Conor took on our case, thoroughly and meticulously preparing and documenting. Unfortunately, the situation required applying some pressure on the defendants and their insurance company. Conor was knowledgeable about the process and willing to push when it was warranted - but not by any unprofessional means. We were able to settle the dispute through mediation. I want to note that during the process Conor stepped away from the law firm he was working for to go out on his own. We had no second thoughts about continuing the litigation process with Conor – it was a no brainer to stay with him.

Excellent representative

Conor explained my options in clear terms and then went out of his way to clear a few problems before they became problems... Very happy

Excellent Attorney

I had Conor transfer a few of our rental properties (held personally) into an LLC. His knowledge of real estate and contract law was impressive. The process was smooth and the cost was reasonable.

Real Estate transaction

Conor was very helpful in preparing legal documents and negotiating a real estate purchase for us, with very favorable terms. He spent a lot of time creating and revising a purchase agreement in a complicated situation. He did all this pro bono.

Employment issue

Conor was a very thorough Lawyer for our employment issue with a previous employee. He worked very well with our people, was available when needed, and very accommodating and helpful with explaining our options and keeping our personal feelings out of the big picture. He was a great person to work ...with and if we need any legal advice in the future, he will be the one we call!
