Personable and Right to the Point

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 O’Brien was incredible to work with and I highly recommend him. He is all around a great, caring guy and that really showed in all the hard work he put into my case.

I came to Bill Opal in trauma. His poise and stealth demeanor saved me in that moment, and 3 years later, he still does. I knew he was the man for the Order of Protection, my son with Autism, abuses, my broken teen, foreclosure, and the finances in complete disarray, moments after hearing his voice on the phone. I interviewed a dozen attorneys as I divorced a Judges son. Not pretty. Did not phase Bill! We started with playing musical courtrooms for someone just to hear us fairly. Did I mention Pandemic divorce? Since then, Bill has not missed a beat, he does exactly what he says he will, when he will. What is ultra special about Bill Opal, is that he listens with the awesome ability to also put his boundaries up gracefully, and keep them up, for what's right, and for the greater good. Best counsel in the history of counsel. He is my hero. We're still in it. Divorced by default, now entangling DCFS, custody evaluations, the GAL, a tax mess, and more importantly, a child with autism, all his therapies, and special education. Bill has never let me down. I always feel protected, and my children. His gallantry and politeness is intriguing to any Judge. Bill Opal has a perfect stoic combination of courtliness and elegance at all times. Being dapper and clever in court matters too, and he will represent your case with brilliance and knowledge. Every time. Bill, as well as his entire team, have changed my life. They make it all look so easy. I respect Bill Opal's gentlemanliness in Law more than anything. Thank you, Bill, to the moon and back.

Atty Infelise is an excellent lawer. Knowledgeable in her field, an experienced counsel, she inspires a lot of confidence in her clients.

Joe O’Brien is an amazing lawyer. To begin: how I found him? It’s a very long story. Many Chicago lawyers, Schiller, Levy etc- recommend Joe for DuPage. Joe will fight for you and he is on the side of what is right.

The team at Opal O'Brian made sure I knew what was going on with my case at all times and were available to answer questions whenever they came up. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Mitch Peskin was my Attorney during a Comp case in 2009. He did a great Job. He feels more like a friend than a Lawyer and gave me the security I needed when my Company gave me the cold shoulder. I would not hesitate to use him again. I referred him to several of my friends and they're happy with him too. Give him a try, you won't be sorry.

Top notch attorney very professional... recommended to me by Union employees I hired him for a workman's comp case and most recently for a bad car accident... I would highly recommend him as well give him a call you'll be glad you did!

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.
