Joe O’Brien is a phenomenal attorney! He has a sense of professionalism and a legal talent unmatched by any other attorney I have ever interviewed or worked with. He is nothing less than brilliant in the field of Family Law and successfully provided me with the very best outcome possible in regards to my case.
Joe came very highly recommended to me by a previous client. When my ex filed for a modification of settlement, I set out to find the best attorney possible. Joe easily stood out among the numerous Family Law attorneys that I interviewed. I found him to be extraordinary, not only in terms of professionalism, but also in terms of his honesty and sincerity. His ability to be empathetic and compassionate toward my situation was undeniably sincere and comforting. He treated me like family throughout the duration of my case. I only wish I had found him sooner to handle my divorce case a few years ago. Without doubt I know if Joe had been my attorney at that time I would have had top notch representation and a much more positive outcome.
Joe is very diligent and has a dynamic work ethic. He is very open to communication and impressively responsive. He is very communicative, yet, conscientious and focused which helped me save time and money on legal fees. Joe sincerely cares about every single aspect regarding his client’s best interests.
Due to my ex refusing to negotiate a fair settlement, my case ended up in court. During the trial, I was astonished by Joe’s high level of preparedness. I was awestruck by his genius for tact and diplomacy. Joe unpretentiously exudes confidence and integrity. As I observed, this appeared to naturally knock opposing counsel and my difficult ex off balance as Joe sailed smoothly through a very effective cross examination. I had naturally felt nervous before the trial but Joe’s confident and calm demeanor is contagious which allowed me to easily feel composed in the courtroom.
Joe is the legal oasis that will get you through a difficult time with confidence, and he will provide you with the very best outcome possible. I am truly comforted in knowing that I have an attorney, and a friend, like Joe to help me navigate the future of my case should anything change. As an attorney, and as a human being, Joe is of the highest quality. I am immensely grateful to him and without reservation I highly recommend Joe O’Brien.

Had a wonderful experience dealing with Joe O’Brien and his law office with my divorce proceedings. He was professional and answered every question I had in a timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone going thru this difficult transition. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

Attorney Joe is an excellent lawyer who successfully handled my complex case with exceptional strategy and wit. He defeated a money-hungry opposing counsel who built their case on malice and greed. In just one year, Joe accomplished what five previous high-ranking attorneys couldn't in eight. Joe is astute, sharp, smart, and a powerful attorney you want on your side. He knows the law and is respected by Judges, GALs, and fellow attorneys in the legal community. He doesn't engage in any BS when dealing with bad actors/counsels and is relentless in pursuing justice for you. He is the Ali on the court and won't give up until the final knockout.

Off the court, Joe has an outstanding ability to empathize and establish a powerful rapport with his clients, which makes them feel understood and supported during difficult situations. He is truly amazing in his understanding of his clients and their cases. Despite all of his great qualities, Joe is still affordable and doesn't run up his clients' bills like many family attorneys today.

I am grateful to Joe for winning my unwinnable case and delivering results beyond my expectations. Thank you Joe.

Joe was able to clean up the mess my previous divorce attorney left me in. He fought for what was fair and made sure my rights as a father were upheld. His no nonsense approach led to many wins in my case. He does not suffer all the emotional drama the opposing counsel attempted to create and his focus on facts really put them in their place. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He bills fairly, communicates easily, and is savvy with the law. Be upfront with him and he will fight the fight for you.

Joe is a great attorney who has represented me for the last 5 years for the divorce and custody case followed by getting additional parenting time and child support modification. Joe did a phenomenal job representing the kids and my best interests, as well as being fair and reasonable towards the opposing party. He responds very fast and is very accessible. He has counseled and guided me calmly and strategically through all available options and always recommended the option that would provide the best outcome without needless petitions and expensive litigation. But when litigation was necessary, he was always well prepared and would get the best outcome possible. His billing is very fair, reasonable and accurate and I've never had an issue with overcharging. Over these years, Joe has provided me the best legal representation far exceeding my initial expectation.

Absolutely the best!
Without Joe's work and help in my divorce process, I would have been totally lost.
It is very difficult to manage your family, work, life in general, and the stress of the divorce all at once but Joe O'Brien guided me through it all with confidence and professionalism.
I told Joe, I don't wish anyone to go through this process, but if anyone needs a GREAT divorce attorney, I would 100% recommend this firm.
Professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable and respected by court.
