I recently received a speeding ticket while driving through Oregon and reached out to this firm for assistance. I was connected with Kelli, who kindly helped me communicate with the court. Unfortunately, I learned that the court required in-person attendance, which left me feeling helpless as I reside out of state and couldn't attend.
While searching for solutions, I came across numerous positive Google reviews detailing other clients' experiences. Many had shared how Blake assisted them in enrolling in a diversion program, which ultimately helped them dismiss their citations. Intrigued, I read through the information on their website about the diversion program and realized it might be the best option for me.
With this newfound insight, I drafted a petition letter to the court. To my relief, the judge agreed to allow me into the program, promising to dismiss my citation upon completion of an online course and payment of the court fee.
Though Blake couldn't assist me directly, the shared experiences and helpful articles truly guided me toward the best outcome. I am incredibly grateful for the support I received!

Jim Dwyer was an asset for me. He was so helpful that I used him a second time! I felt understood and heard. He took my case seriously. He kept great open communication throughout the case. Jim was prompt. He prepared me thoroughly for every step of the case. There was no part I felt confused about. Jim was such a pleasure to work with. I hope I don’t need him again, but if there is another personal injury he will be my first choice!

She negotiated an appropriate severance with my former employer, and I am so thankful for Brandy's representation.

I worked with Brandy to set up my business - she helped me form my LLC and get other documentation in order with the state. In addition, she supplied a number of contracts and materials that I could use when working with clients or my own contractors. People who I worked with after Brandy and I were done were impressed by how prepared I was for everything from doing an S-Corp election as an LLC to contract negotiations. I was impressed as well! Growing a business is a series of challenges, and working with Brandy helped me cut right through several of those challenges.

Bankruptcy is a process that takes patience and diligence to get through. When I met with Mr. O'Brien, I was in a bad financial situation and his guidance and advice helped to drastically improve my position in 5 years. I filed Chapter 13 with his representation and he worked to get me a very favorable monthly budget to manage repayments and still enable my day to day life. He's very good at his job. I would not choose anyone else for my friends or family, this is the right solution if you are considering a bankruptcy or looking for advice in dire financial straits.

Mr. Piteo was amazing to work with. My elderly mother was scheduled for an eviction hearing within a week or less. I called more than a dozen lawyers but they either said it was too late or they were just too busy. Mr. Piteo was able to find a way for my mother to keep her house. I would recommend Mr. Piteo because he is great to work with, he knows his stuff, and his service is worth way more than what he charges. He is a lifesaver. And our family will be forever grateful.

I am so appreciative of the excellent help, competency, and kindness I received from Michael O'Brien and Ted Piteo!
I spoke with 7 bankruptcy firms, and because of my particular type of debt and amount of assets I have, none of them had a solution that helped me out - I was very worried about financial hardship without bankruptcy. Finally, I found O’Brien and Associates, and they were the only firm in the entire state of Oregon that had first-hand experience with a new part of the Chapter 11 code (subchapter V) – this is the route we took to succeed in my bankruptcy.
I worked with both of the firm’s attorneys, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo. They are both highly qualified and competent, with complementary strengths that make them an excellent and formidable team. They are just honest, good people – I’d enjoy having them as neighbors!
Both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo have a high degree of integrity, and I trust them both. For example, at one point, I understood Mr. O’Brien to have made a billing commitment, and when I saw something that seemed to not match that commitment, I called him up and we worked it out in a mutually acceptable, reasonable way that left me trusting him more.
My case was moderately complex (at least for a small business owner such as myself), and both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo did an excellent job of assessing potential weaknesses in my case and explaining potential outcomes, so I always felt secure knowing what potential pitfalls might come and how to deal with them.
Mr. O’Brien did high-quality and skillfully-nuanced settlement negotiations with one of my creditors (my ex-wife).
Mr. Piteo represented me during the pendency of my case in bankruptcy court. He did an excellent job of negotiating with one of my creditors to ease the way to getting my plan confirmed. He also was timely with answering my questions, and allaying my concerns by providing me with honest, accurate information. An added bonus is that Mr. Piteo is lively and fun, which made the entire process easier to handle, and I even enjoyed it!
Mr. Piteo did such an excellent job of litigating my case in bankruptcy court, to the point that the judge gave her ruling at the end of the hearing, and we won everything we proposed in the Chapter 11 reorganization plan. He also did an excellent job preparing me to testify, both with specific questions he’d ask me, and how to handle combative questions from my ex-wife’s lawyer.
I am so relieved I found O’Brien and Associates, that I could trust them, and I am very grateful for their great care, competence, and help in my 100% successful bankruptcy case. They delivered as they said they would, without surprises, and I highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. When I came in for my consultation, I was at the lowest point of my life. I feeling very scared about my future ahead and had a lot of shame about considering filing for bankruptcy. From the beginning, I was impressed at the level of care and empathy that was shown to me by everyone at the firm that interacted with.
I am forever grateful for this firm. Lauren was always available to answer my questions. Ted especially was an amazing advocate for me and always made sure that I had access to all my of options and was able to make informed decisions. I never thought I would ever have so much trust in an attorney and always felt like he had my best interest at heart.
Six months after my initial consultation, I feel confident that I made the right choice for myself and am able to move ahead in this new chapter of my life. I have this firm to thank for that, and have already recommended them to several people I know who are considering filing.
