Tim’s Personal Approach to Client Care

“For me, every case has a personal connection,” explained Tim. “Genuine empathy matters, especially in handling personal injury claims. People going through difficult situations need to be cared about and cared for as individuals with specific needs. As an attorney, I’m responsible for conveying those needs to insurance adjusters, or opposing attorneys in an effective way, and if necessary, to eventually convince the jury that those needs should be addressed. As an attorney, if you cannot relate to your client, there’s no way you’re going to be able to relate their needs to the jury. So along with education and experience, I’d say empathy is the third element that every attorney must have to be effective. I believe you have to be personable to be a successful personal injury attorney and that starts with focusing on the people I represent rather than thinking of each as just another case.”

“I’m obviously biased about Tim, because he is my son,” said Attorney Tim J. O’Brien, “but that also gives me a level of insight far beyond what I would have with any other candidate seeking to become part of the firm. Tim is a high-character, strong-willed and detail-oriented person. Those traits suit him well in his career, and are especially valuable to his clients.”

I highly recommend Klye McGinn as an injury lawyer. Klye went over and beyond with my mom. My mom is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and Kyle was patient, caring, and listen to her concerns. He took the time to explain thing to my mom, over and over again as required. His professionalism, energy and experience showed when it came time to deal with the big insurance company. He did much more than I expedite. He worked very hard with the other insurance company and doctors to get the required documentation needed. Thanks, Kyle, for a seamless transition. My mom was very pleased with her settlement. Thank You Judy Woods

I think this is a great idea(Offering a Uber ride) that this Law firm is doing. As someone who worked in Law Enforcement for over 28 yrs. I've seen my share of accidents involving someone who was driving while impaired. This frim is providing a service that benifits the community. Programs like this can make a real difference. They are giving a safe & easy alternative when someone otherwise may make a risky decision. It's encouraging to see a local business step up in this manner.

Kyle has been amazing! I went to them right after i was injured and they dialed right in to the process and I did not have to look back. I do not know what I would have done without them. By far the best company out there. I would highly recommend them.

They were friendly, efficient, and handled everything, which gave me peace of mind throughout the process. They advocated for me when Progressive was pushing back, and I was very pleased with the service and the way my case was handled. Jeremy was especially great to work with. He explained the process clearly, made sure I understood everything, and kept me informed every step of the way.

Tim was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. His hard work, dedication, and professionalism made all the difference in our case, and thanks to his persistence we were able to win. He kept us informed throughout the entire process, answered every question we had, and truly fought for us every step of the way. You can tell Tim genuinely cares about his clients and puts everything he has into getting the best possible outcome. If you want a lawyer who is knowledgeable, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Tim. We are beyond grateful for everything he did for our family.

My case ended about a year ago, but I just want to give a shout out to Tim OBrien for all he did for me after my accident. I didn’t have any idea what to do or where to begin and he walked me through the whole time. He made sure I understood everything and always kept in touch with me through the whole process. I would recommend this law firm to anyone!!

Mike Khalili and his team were great to work with after my accident. They were always responsive, patient with my questions, and really helped me understand what was happening throughout my workers’ comp/personal injury case. It’s a stressful process, but they made it feel much more manageable. I truly appreciate their help and would absolutely recommend Mike and his team to anyone needing a workers’ comp attorney.

This was the 1st time I've ever had to use this type of service. Hands down would recommend this team for all your injury needs. They were professional, made sure everything was understood and was by my side step by step. I really felt like they were in my corner at all times! Kathryn Hartnett went above and beyond to meet my needs as a unexpected life change happened. Everyone from the front desk to the back where amazing! Thank you so much!
