I cannot thank The O’Brien Law Firm enough for their outstanding work and dedication. From the very beginning, they made it clear that they were committed to ensuring justice for me and my former co-workers. We were owed compensation for our hard work, and thanks to their expertise and relentless advocacy, we finally received what was rightfully ours.
Attorney Kerry O’Brien is a powerhouse—his knowledge, strategic approach, and unwavering determination were instrumental in our success. He took the time to explain everything, kept us informed, and fought for us every step of the way. But behind every great attorney is a great team, and Beth was absolutely incredible! She worked diligently in the background, handling critical details and making sure everything stayed on track. Her dedication and support did not go unnoticed, and we are beyond grateful for her efforts.
If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients and will fight for what’s right, look no further than The O’Brien Law Firm. They are professional, compassionate, and relentless in pursuing justice. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of strong legal representation!
Thank you, Kerry, Beth, and the entire team, for standing up for us!

Lane helped for the first time in 2018 when i was hit by a drunk driver. He was able to take care of everything so professionally and rapidly. When i got hit by a drunk driver the second time in 2024, i waited no time before contacting Lane for help again. Needless to say, he is truly one of the best attorney in this field to genuinely help out people in need. I will be recommending Hoestenbach law group and Lane to everyone i know.

Hello, my name is Cory. Larry P. Schaubhut, Jr. was my attorney I chose to represent me when I took my ex spouse back to court in an attempt to get custody of my children. Larry Jr. exceeded all my expectations. I really felt like he was part of the family; Uncle Larry. He and his team were a blessing. Larry Jr. is the best attorney I have ever used and we won our case and I was awarded custody of my kids! I highly recommend using Larry Jr for all your legal needs. Should I need an attorney in the future there is no one I would rather have represent me than Larry Jr. Larry, thanks again for everything!

I am so appreciative of the difficult work Larry put into my case he’s honest and very trustworthy. Thank you, for your time and your compassion for everything I went through. Larry fought for my case, and finally I able to get closure on my custody battle, I am more then please with the outcome. He’s knowledgeable and brilliant he took the weight off my shoulders. He was great about keeping me informed with every aspect of the case, and if needed his paralegal was able to walk me through everything that came up. Larry is defiantly dedicated to his job and does an outstanding job at it. I can honestly say he is the best attorney and I highly recommend him.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the service and outcome in my case. Mr. Schaubhut and his assistant put me at ease and made me feel confident. He seems very genuine to his clients case and he is comfortable in the court room. Highly recommend this attorney.

I recently reached out to Silberman Law for their perspective on a matter I was handling. I quickly heard back from Phil Silberman, which was refreshing after spending the day contacting various firms without receiving many responses. I explained the issue, and Phil provided clear next steps for what we could do if the situation escalated. Perhaps more importantly, I felt he would be a strong advocate if things did become contentious. He was candid and realistic about what the processes would entail and was upfront about pricing, which was extremely helpful. Although I didn't end up hiring Silberman Law for the issue I called about, I would definitely consider reaching out to them again in the future if I need their services.

I was very fortunate to be helped by Lane for the first time when i got hit by a drunk driver in 2018. He took care of everything for me speedy and professionally. When i got hit by a drunk driver the second time, I didn’t hesitate for a second before asking Lane once again to represent me. I couldn’t be any more satisfied with Lane and his firm and I’m glad i have chosen him over any lawyer in town because he is truly the best!

We could not have asked for better representation in the pursuit of our case. We went through multiple hearings throughout the 3 year litigation process, all with outcomes in our favor. Not only were we defended with the utmost integrity and professionalism, we were guided and prepped throughout the process and felt very confident in how our case was presented. Ms. Arambula is passionate about her client's case and their right to legal representation, and you can tell that she truly cares about justice being served. Extremely qualified, quick to pivot to address challenges, and the ability to present herself with dignity and poise when faced with irrational opposing counsel. I would highly recommend her to represent anyone who needed these services.

Belinda Arambula represented me during a 4-year litigation that resulted in a win in February of 2024. She went toe-to-toe against 5 lawyers and 2 paras during a jury trial that lasted 3 days. During our trial, she was prepared, professional, and poised despite being lied about, yelled at, and (incorrectly) discredited in front of the court. We faced many unfair decisions during our case and she exercised every opportunity for justice for me. In the end, she represented me fairly and to the best of her ability. She is brilliant and can pivot on a dime as the case requires. She is an exceptional lawyer that I will not hesitate to reach out to again if needed.

Ramzi helped me with a real estate litigation matter smaller than he would normally take because he was sympathetic to my situation. He paid attention to detail and didn't miss a thing for his argument- there was really no way they could argue the matter back despite adamantly refusing to comply before Ramzi took on the case... I ended up receiving a full settlement!
I would recommend Ramzi as a lawyer to anyone needing legal advice or help. He is personable, has a great sense of humor, pays attention to detail, and takes pride in helping others win their cases.

I was being sued and was assigned Mrs. Rasmus by my insurance company. I was grateful for this!! Mrs. Rasmus handles herself in a very professional manner and unlike the prosecuting attorney, was very well spoken. Even after the prosecuting attorney hired an additional lawyer for assistance, Mrs. Rasmus was unphased and continued to win the case against me. Since this was my first time being sued and entering a courtroom, Mrs. Rasmus was very thorough and let me know what was happening every step of the way.
She was also very thorough in her research on the facts and pointed out a few items that even I had overlooked concerning the case. She remained calm at all times which I believe was an important factor that conveyed her knowledge and honesty to the jury. The prosecuting attorney couldn't make complete sentences and every other word was "uh" or "and", which made it very hard to follow her way of thinking. Mrs. Rasmus was very direct, audible and passionate with her statements which exuded confidence and maturity.
I will be forever greatful for Mrs. Rasmus experience and service. I highly recommend her to anyone needing representation!!!

Worth every penny! I could not have gotten better representation at any price. I work in child support and had gotten used to the idea that 94% of the time the Mother gets Managing conservatorship. I'm a Dad and Lawrence assured me that 94% is not the case when Dad does what's in the best interest of his daughter. Lawrence was always well prepared, from the beginning issues, with CPS, through entry of an agreed order, Lawrence gave me sound advice and settled my nerves. I have recommended Lawrence to colleagues, friends and will continue to do so. I am both humbled and thankful for Lawrence's representation.

Pete did a fantastic job; from managing expectations to securing a result that made me feel justice was done. I gave him all the space needed to do what he does best and I could not be happier with the result. Pete’s determination and knowledge of the law made me trust the process; when most attorneys (and clients) would have settled. Highly recommended!!

Tim Reilley is amazing!!! This is the first time I needed a lawyer and thank goodness I picked him. He is very attentive and walked me through the process in a manner that made me feel at ease and that I was important and not just another client. He had my best interests in mind, and I trusted that he would get me the best possible outcome he could, and he did not disappoint!! I hope I will never need this type of service again but if I do, I will definitely be calling him.

I was hesitant to get an attorney after my accident in April 2022, but running into dead end roads and rude/hateful adjusters, I had enough. Chip was recommended through our healthcare advocate at work and from the first phone call throughout the 2+ year ordeal, Chip, Tim and their team exceeded anything I could have thought. With every conversation, the personable and down to earth approach was unreal and totally against anything I had ever heard an attorney could be. I felt cared for and understood, and knew he was on my side and would fight all the way to court if needed. Thankfully we were able to settle out of court, but I don’t believe that would have been possible if not for Chip’s tenacity and determination that the insurance company would keep their promises per my policy. Words alone cannot express my gratitude for all they did for me, and I would recommend them time and time again!

My wife was facing 4 felonies, Mr. Bacon in my opinion went out of his way to get her the best plea deal possible, she was only convicted of 1 charge out if thone 4 & that was for failure to render aide. Mr. Bacon showed a lot of care & openly talked to me about her case at all the court hearing and I believe defended her the with the best outcome possible even though he was court appointed he did better thenow most paid attorneys would. Thank you Mr. Bacon for all your help.
