Kevin L. O'Brien

From day one, Kevin was an example of how to be a receptive, patient, and thorough advocate. He took his time to understand the ins and outs of my case and was able to produce a positive outcome for my family during one of the most emotional time periods of mine and my children's lives. He and his te...am are experienced, knowledgeable, and professional, and because of their detailed preparation my case never went to trial and we likely saved thousands of dollars by choosing such a hardworking and loyal attorney who helped to quickly address an increasingly complex issue. I advise anyone who is going through the family court system to choose a representative who isn't only smart and professional, but most importantly attentive to detail and advocacy-driven such as Mr. O'Brien and those at O'Brien and Associates.

I hired Kevin O'Brien on the recommendation of two friends, one who had been represented by him and another who worked within the legal system. This turned out to be a very good decision, as seen through the contrast with my ex's attorney in the months that followed. I met my ex's attorney only onc...e, at a preliminary conference he told my ex he did not need to attend. Kevin showed up with a significant amount of completed paperwork. My ex's attorney carried only a blank legal pad, if he carried anything at all. I actually think he brought nothing at all to that meeting, a metaphor for how he would conduct himself throughout the case. I was a stay at home mom for many years, and was working only part-time at the commencement of the divorce action. Right after the preliminary conference, Kevin filed papers to request that my spouse pay my legal fees because I was an "impoverished spouse." That truly was genius strategy. Here I was with a more expensive, more competent attorney, and now my husband was paying for him. It really set the tone regarding who would be in charge of negotiations. Ultimately, my ex accepted the deal Kevin crafted, which obviously favored me, because he didn't want to deal with it anymore. I think Kevin wore him down and, with a non-responsive attorney representing him, my ex just wanted to get it over with. When you begin a divorce action, you don't know what you're going to encounter but, if you have Kevin representing you, it doesn't matter because he can handle it. He has a real command of the law, which is not something you can take for granted with other lawyers. Kevin's experience will help you get a better agreement, but it is his wisdom that will help you navigate situations in a way that will foster continued positive relationships with your children. He is a person of integrity, ever-mindful of your goals, both financial and personal. Whatever situations arise, he'll give you alternatives that will help you long-term. In the process, Kevin will always tell you the truth and he will never fail to advocate for you. I think I was truly represented in my case, while my ex was not, and the result speaks for itself. I receive child support, additional money from my ex so he can remain on my health insurance (we are legally separated, not divorced), and I will also get maintenance for the next 12+ years, even if I remarry. I have never even heard of anyone getting that. In contrast, my ex will work many years beyond what he planned to meet the demands of our agreement. I am very happy I hired Kevin O'Brien, and I highly recommend him for any matrimonial matter.

I contacted seven attorneys within a few days before my custody case went to trial in less than two weeks. My original lawyer failed to make it to a very important court hearing allowing the court to make it seem as if I had to represent myself. If you don’t know law it can be very tricky and you can... get into terrible predicament even if you feel the cards are in your favor. I went with this firm and Without hesitation Kevin OBrien took my case and worked with the ADA and my child’s attorney to work out an agreement hurting me less than what could of been the outcome. If you want someone who will give you his honest opinion and go the distance, this is the man for the job. Mr. OBrien gave me light at the end of my legal tunnel. Yes his services aren’t cheap but you get what you pay for and at the end of it all how much is it worth for you to have your child and be the father you know are in their life? Don’t ever go somewhere you’re not welcome and if you have to then bring someone who everyone else looks up to like they are the cool kid on the varsity basketball team. Dan Hartman (associate attorney) listened to my every word and you would see his general concern and engagement in his face. Allison the (assistant to Mr. Obrien) was very professional. When the going gets rough.. OBrien & Associates get going. 5 stars because 10 stars isn’t an option. I will use them and talk about them every chance I hear matrimonial or custody conversations anywhere.

I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a divorce attorney. He gave me the confidence and support I needed throughout one of the most challenging events of my life. Kevin was frank during our discussions and did not waste time or energy. He provided balanced counsel and help me naviga...ted the legal and very personal nature of the dispute. His billing was always accurate and reasonable; he was worth every penny. Lastly, Kevin was very responsive which helped to significantly reduce my level of stress throughout the process.
