I was pulled over for doing 45 in a 25 and not wearing a seat-belt. I didn’t want any points on my record, Happy made that happen. I had to take a very easy driving class. He made me feel included on what was happening. I would recommend O’Brien to anyone for traffic violations.

I was pulled over for doing 18 over the speed limit. As many people do, I assumed that there was nothing I could do. after speaking to a friend, he recommended that I contact Mr O'Brien. Happy informed me that he was confident I had a case he could work with. He had my nearly reckless driving charge dropped to defective equipment! Mr O'Brien was affordable, professional, helpful, and most of all very easy to work with. I highly recommend his services

Happy has to be the best DUI Defense Atty in Hampton Roads He was thoroughly prepared and aggressive with my defense He was able to keep much of the Commonwealths evidence suppressed. This was huge in winning this case! He was clearly better than the Commonwealth and it showed. The case was won even before closing arguments occurred. His knowledge of the law was evident and his mastery at trial was crucial to a total acquittal I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for aggressive defense!

Happy is the man! From day one he was on his A game. His knowledge and courtroom demeanor cannot be beaten. Always kept me up to date and always available if i had any questions. We met at his office when needed and discussed a game plan and executed it. He was honest and up front about what I should expect, and then delivered me a dismissal. Highly recommend! Hope to not have to use him again but if it ever happens, he is the first call.

I have used Mr Doummar and Happy several times but Happy has always stuck by my side and has got me out of some terrible situations. Mr Obrien saved my life i brought back the same charge 4th off and violated alot good behavior. I thought my life was over Mr Obrien got me time served at sentencing and there was no way i thought that was possible. He saved my life, i have used several other big name lawyers in va beach no one is better than Happy Obrien i highly recommend if you have anything to deal with courts to go with Happy Obrien i have used him three times and he has never let me down. He is well worth the money.

Mr. O'Brien is not only knowledgeable in the law he is also professional and respectful to all. Most importantly, his knowledge and demeanor in the Court room brings excellent results to his clients. I enthusiastically refer my friends and family to him as I know they will be in good hands.

I was driving home from the airport late at night after a long day of meetings and traveling, and was stopped for speeding near Shore Drive. I wasn't sure what options, if any, I had so I decided to seek council from an attorney. What should have been a reckless driving speeding ticket with points against my license was argued down to defective equipment by William Henry "Happy" O'Brien. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and explained things in a way that were easy to understand. He was able to make a very unpleasant situation much more tolerable. I would highly recommend Happy and although I hope I never need his services again, I know I have an attorney I can trust and count on if ever needed.

"Happy" O'Brien is the best attorney in Va. Beach. He is honest trustworthy dependable intelligent. He has been my attorney assisting in my custody and child support matter but has also been instrumental in working with me for other traffic matters. I would recommend him for any and or all your legal matters. He is quick to respond and gets the job done. I would like to say that he has won every case he has handled for me...
