I had the good fortune to have guidance from Michael O'Brien regarding a lawsuit filed against me. It was quite intimidating as I have never experienced anything like that before. The free video he provided as well as the free consultation with him answered my questions and educated me fully on the legal procedures, my rights, responsibilities and my options. I became empowered to defend myself and negotiated a settlement without going to court. Michael treated me so kindly and professionally and did not capitalize on my situation. I can wholeheartedly recommend the services Michael provides so ethically and generously.

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.

Highly recommend Theodore Piteo. He went above and beyond. Was always clear and concise and did everything he could to help us with our case. Great firm.

I have sent about 12 people on to Mr. O'Brien. All who are able to work with him have said that I am 100% correct in saying that after your first meeting with him, you feel like you have a new lease on life. You feel as if though you have hope! Wonderful knowledgeable man!!!! You can not go wrong. In fact we filed chapter 13 almost 5 years ago now and have had nothing but issue's in our personal lives continue to arise. Michael O'brien still works with us and has an answer for everything. Making us feel great about a fresh start every time we speak with him and he fixes our issues!!! Love him!!!!!

O brien and associates helped me with the world's most complicated bankruptcy case. They have been nothing but accommodating and helpful in every way. The paralegal (bob) is one of the best people to deal with while undergoing such a stressful situation. He was always patient and kind!

Ted is a Rockstar. We couldn’t have made it through this without him. We couldn’t have asked for a better more knowledgeable individual in our corner. We felt listened to and validated. Ted is not one to mess with it. You will not be disappointed in choosing this law firm. They went above and beyond and we are grateful to have them on our side every step of the way. Thanks Ted for everything.

A five star review only scratches the surface. Michael helped me out with a very complicated legal matter, his experience and knowledge of the law provided me with an outcome that would not have been as favorable with any other attorney. Thoroughly satisfied / thrilled with the experience from start to finish.

Just got done talking with Ted one of the associates with Michael D O'brien and Associates Ted was knowledgeable, Patient, very understanding to our issues, and very easy to talk with. He answered all our questions. He listen. No questions were unanswered. If you have any legal matters.to be dealt with I would recommend this company and Ted.

That's correct I've never done business with this firm. However my review was based off me contacting you via your website chat and was told I would receive a call. Then I texted to make sure they had my information and were going to call and the person assured me you would. A week later still no calls so that's why you receive one start for poor communication and non responsive. If you would not have flagged my post you wouldn't have this comment with the details about my experience. I wish your firm the best.

I wish there was words or that I was better at verbalizing my families experiences with Micheal and his legal team but I am definitely going to try to cover it all in my following review. Michael and his team not only handled our initial case with the upmost patience , kindness and professionalism, they also showed us why his firm stands out as the one in a million team they are by the way they handled the random hiccups we encountered almost 2 years later. When we encountered a issue, Michael and his team immediately utilized all their knowledge of the law to get the issue cleared up quickly and finalized correctly. As soon as we contacted Michael and his team they immediately got to work clearing up the issues from another company's mistakes with his teams hard work. Michael got all the issues resolved by utlizing his knowledge, his contacts and his genuine care for his clients immediately. Please know that no matter what you have going on or your previous experiences you have had with any legal team in the past, if you need a caring, genuine and professional legal team fighting for you and your family whos 100% on your side, there's no better firm then Michael and his team!

First of all dealing with attorneys is daunting and scary at the same time. Fortunately for me I was referred to Oliveros & O'Brien. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ted Piteo and his paralegal Bob Swindell. They are both very professional and I was always able to get in contact with them by either phone call or email very promptly. Some attorneys I've dealt with in the past, it seemed like a labyrinth of voicemails, and messages before you ever spoke to the attorney. Their legal expertise and advise gave me the confidence and the knowledge of what I was legally experiencing and all the angles of my situation. I felt that they genuinely cared about my situation and expressed sympathy. I ended up getting the results I wanted in court. My experience with this law firm has been and is continues to be very positive and I would highly recommend them to anyone in legal need or advise. If and ever I need legal representation in the future I will always use them.

I was very pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail.
