Mark, Jeanette and his team were nothing short of impeccable throughout my entire case. They both stood ready to answer my questions at any time and always did so promptly. Mark assured me before retaining him that he would be able to have my charges reduced to a lesser charge and did exactly that. If you’re in a jam, this is the team you want on your side.

I highly recommend using this law firm! Mark and Jeanette were amazing the entire time from the very beginning of my indictment. They were communicative and kept me informed the entire time so nothing was a surprise. I received the best possible outcome for my case and Mark defended me to the fullest! Jeanette always checked on me and made me feel cared for the entire time. His entire team is absolutely amazing!

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. When I met Mr. Obrien in 2010 I had violated my Federal probation. I didn’t know how it was going to end I was 6 months pregnant and luckily there were no more public defenders so the judge assigned Mr. Obrien as my public defender. Mr. O’brien did above and beyond the call of his duties. When I went to court for my state case they told me that I had retained private council. I was quite shocked. Unbeknownst to me, Mr. O’brien had taken on my state case pro bono as a part of my defense and his kindness. He fought me as if his life depended on it. I walked away reinstated. Mr. O’brien and his team is so awesome they’re kind, caring and concerned about their clients needs. His assistant Jeanette, you can call her anytime of night or day and she’ll comfort you to assure you that Mr. O’brien has your best interest. In 2022 I got another case a little different but again he stepped right in. He assured me that he would once again take care of me. He told me he would always be my attorney until I fired him, but that definitely is not happening. He’s my attorney for a lifetime. I’ll tell anyone if you in the market for a good attorney when that you can rest at night and trust that he’ll take care of you then consider Mark J Obrien he’s definitely that guy

You come to a lawyer scared and likely confused about what's going to happen next. How serious is this accusation and is there the possibility of being exonerated? Mark did an amazing job of calming our fears with facts and details and a plan of action. He was very honest about the areas of "concern" and the things he could do to paint things in a favorable light. He then thoroughly defended and protected us. He investigated the rules, identified the gray areas, and showed how we didn't have any intent to break them. He then came up with a plan of action to get the charges dropped with a way to maintain good favor with the authority in question. No one wants to be in this situation but Mark (and his ENTIRE staff) made it the most tolerable experience possible and eventually ensured the absolute best outcome imaginable.

There is not enough words to express my gratitude to Victoria Hatfield and Jeanette her assistant. From my first call I felt supported, they helped me resolve a family crisis. I will be eternally grateful to them. I assure you that if she is your lawyer, she will fight for you and your family to resolve your legal case. Very professional and competent. I definitely give them 5 stars.

I would trust this particular lawyer and his firm with my life they gave me a great outcome never lied to me told me what was to be expected and always kept me informed. I worked with AC Jeanette as well as attorney Mark O'Brien the outcome was phenomenal.

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Mark O’Brien and his staff. They are not only greatly knowledgeable in the law but they offer a level of trust and comfort that is beyond what you will find in any other firm. Both Mark and Jeanette were prompt in their responses every time I had a question. I highly recommend this office for your legal needs!

Mark J O’Brien is certainly a man of his word. He was my court appointed attorney back in 2009. I came to him with a significant criminal history, a case I was guilty of, and really no chance at getting leniency. My guidelines were 262 to 327 months. In the end, I was sentenced to 300 months, nothing this firm could have done differently at that time. Mark did tell me at that time if I ever made it back into court, contact him, and he would represent me. After 11 years, I finally got an appeal granted. I contacted Mark, he said we will represent you going forward. Which they did and when resentenced I received 168 months, with Credit for time served. I had one year left to complete that sentence. Mark again told me when you get out, you will have three years supervision. He stated again when you file your motion to get early term on your probation get a hold of me. Of course, after 18 months on my supervision I contacted Mark’s office. He told me as long as my probation officer approves it , he will file the motion for me. my probation officer said after I complete two years himself , and his supervisor would support such motion. Marks office was diligent in preparing the paperwork. Then finally once the probation officer approved it. Marks office, then filed the motion. after a few days in front of the judge it was granted. So when I say Mark is a man of his word I know this through through for over 14 years now. I would highly recommend anyone that wants a legal team that actually cares to hire the best.

Where do I even begin, Mark and his team are hands down the best in what they do! Very professional, upfront, prompt on dates, times and scheduling, and they even dedicated every Wednesday as a day my family and I could come in even just for comfort. From day one, Mark told us what the outcome could be and what he would fight for. Mark swore he would fight for us like we were his family, and he did nothing short of just that! Never were we mislead or told anything different than the facts or truth. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM FOR ANY FEDERAL CASE! Thank you Mark and Jeanette!

I was convicted three years ago of actions I took to save the lives of thirty-six of my men in Afghanistan. They were illegal, but necessary in 2014. Ultimately, the Govt threatened to go after my wife if I did not plead guilty, so I did - in exchange for a letter that ensured my wife was safe. The plea was entered in Tampa Federal Court. After a short time in prison and on probation, I sought an early release. I approached about twelve different law firms in the area seeking assistance. Not one responded. Finally, I came across the Law Office of Mark O'Brien. Not only were they responsive, they stayed ON IT - working with the USG and Probation. They were communicative, respectful, and thorough. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see that approved motion for early release come into my email. I hope I never have to use the O'Brien Law Firm again, but God Forbid if I ever need a defense attorney, this will be my first phone call.

The law firm, O’Brien Hatfield Reese, is the BEST. Their knowledge of the law is exceptional. The entire staff is outstanding.
