Judge for yourself, which reviews are true and which are people who have sour grapes, which may be of a personal nature and clearly malicious. They don’t talk about their case. They don’t talk about the results they just attack. And that’s unfortunate. I spent 30 years giving heart and soul blood sweat and tears to the profession I was grateful and privileged to serve. my record speaks for itself, And, it is truly sad that two years after some health problems, caused me to slow down and not take new cases. That people felt the need to post, false, malicious, and hateful reviews on every format they could find these are people who never built anything or never create anything or never attain a professional degree and you never communicated any complaints if they ever clients. Judge for yourself. True reviews give details of the matter and relate the experience I had in factual terms, not conclusions. But it’s not my job to judge. Nor would I violate the sanctity of the confidential information related to representation. What I can tell you is after being harassed, threatened, and attacked by an imbalanced person that clearly needs help, I am not angry, but concerned and have compassion for those who seek to tear down because of their own issues. Thankfully, my health has improved, but after 30 years of giving my best, working 20 hour days more often than one should, and caring about each and every client ….that the time for me to endure misplaced and malicious attacks…ended. While many of the families that I was privileged to assist still reach out to coax me to take up their cause, I will not. When those in need of mental health care attempt to cause harm to my family, they must expire in their own negative energy. And, be grateful that I chose not to wield the sword of justice and rebuke their attempts to harm. After all, what is the sound of one hand clapping. Last, thank you to thousands of clients that I was so honored to assist. For 30 years, I lived the motto when you love your job you will never “work” a day in your life. So true, it was true gift to be able to say “I can help” and then exceed the expectations of decent folk. So, thank you! Life is an amazing journey and it’s magnificently imperfect. It is what … it is. Yours Matthew O’Connor

It’s not just us !!!! Em would you mind contacting us. We have our own horrible experience with this Lawyer. We are over $25,000 into it with Zero results!! He will not show where the money has gone. He won’t show up to court and acts as if he is overwhelming put out by be being asked ANYTHING about the case IF you can actually make contact with him. Maybe he was a good Lawyer at one time but experience is that he is a scam artist.

I am very dissatisfied with how my case was handled. After finally reaching an agreement with the opposing counsel, they refused to honor the agreement. Unfortunately, Mr O'Connor did nothing to see that the agreement was honored; he made absolutely no effort on my behalf. This could have been resolved in my favor during the final court hearing however, Mr. O'Connor did not bother to show up in court that day for the hearing. In addition to mishandling my case, Mr. O'Connor's behavior toward me was utterly repugnant. While we were preparing for the hearing, Mr. O'Connor was extremely impatient and condescending. When I hired him I told him that I had never been in court before and had no idea what to expect. Rather than explain what the Judge's expectations would be, how best to answer questions, and walking me through the process, he belittled me and even yelled at me. Mr. O'Connor turned a situation that was stressful and upsetting to begin with into a complete nightmare.

When I first met Matt it was lt was in the late 1990's. A friend introduced me to him to handle a personal injury and work comp case. The other party didn't want to settle and we had a trial. Needless to say Matt had his A game working and he easily picked apart the witnesses one being a traffic expert who lied during his testimony. It was a great day and from that day my family and I have only used Matt and he 20 years later is noy just an attorney, he's family.

The O'Conner Law Firm is amazing. Matt truly went a above and beyond our expectations. He made what was a horrible situation for me and my family, easy and less of a mess. When I was laid up in bed rest for a long period of time...With 2 small children. ..they came to me. We always were kept in the know...and they always responded quickly when we had questions. I would recommend Matt to my family and friends...even strangers. He's the best!

I was in a real bind with false allegations which led to charges being filed. My lawyer at the time introduced me to Matthew O'Connor. I was fortunate to run across Matthew. He hit the ground running and started taking on the false allegations and mounted a defense that ultimatly led to us winning the case hands down. Matthew is a true professional by every definition of the word. He takes each case peronally and will not stop working for his clients till he gets the results that he wants. I know he made me feel as though I was the most important case he had to work on. I always knew what was going on in my case and what was expected of me. I cannot say enough how well I was taken care of by Matthew and his staff, they are first rate. A true champion of the underdog and is relentless in his pursuit of justice. He does it one case at a time.

Matt will change your mind about attorneys. He answered all my calls, kept my budget in mind, and remained personally active every step of the way. He is a man of great integrity. Quite honestly, I think he embarrased the prosecutor by calling him out and fighting his "evidence". I could go on and on about this attorney now friend. The end result of my case? Fully exonerated.

Top notch law firm. I hired Matt when I found myself in two separate legal cases, and had fired several lawyers. I came to him with an extremely low opinion of the ethics, morals, and skill set, of lawyers in general. You can feel the difference the first time you walk through the door, and you will believe your case is his only case. My legal matters were a high conflict custody case and a large internet defamation case. Matt is highly skilled in the courtroom, and puts his energy where it counts. On you and your case. He runs his Firm with integrity, and you will walk away from your case having a genuine friend. A lawyer with excellent law skills and excellent people skills. Hands down the superior choice of Council in Kansas City.

Mr. O'Conner has always been there for my family when ever we needed questions answered. He is very professional and knowledgeable about our case and has taken the time to meet with us when we needed a one on one conference. I would highly recommend Mr. O'Conner to all my friends and relatives for their legal issues!!

Mr. O'Connor is by far the best lawyer I have ever had! He always helped me stay positive about my situation and treated it like it was his only case! He truly helped me get through one of the worst times of my life and for that I am forever grateful!

Matt was referred to me by a federal attorney. I had no idea what to do when I started getting attacked by another party. After visiting with Matt my worries were put to ease. He put a plan together to halt the attacks. Even though the other party did not share our concerns Matt was quick to remind him and his attorney of our concerns with each call I made. It was a dream to find a partner that would explain things in terms I could relate to. Matt O'Connor is one I would recommend without hesitation.

Mr. O’Connor is a one of a kind attorney. He is not an attorney that only takes the cases he can win. He takes the cases he truly believes in. He not only seeks the truth and justice in each case he has, but also builds a personal connection with his clients, thus allowing for a passionate aggressive defense for justice to be served.
