“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.”
“OMG!!!! Timothy O’Brien Jr. is AMAZING!!!! He was helpful from the day of my accident until the day we closed my case. He even made check up calls in between to make sure I was doing ok! I will recommend him to EVERYONE who needs personal injury or accident representation! Again THANK YOU TIM!!”

Great group of people worked hard from the beginning to the end of my sons case. Entire office worked hard to get the correct outcome for my son. Definitely would recommend to anyone who has an injury case. From the bottom of our hearts my famliy appreciates everyone on David’s team for all the hard work they did.

It is very beneficial to seek legal counsel when you have been a victim in an accident. A person without legal counsel cannot achieve maximum benefits. It’s just the way it is…. Every day people don’t write the rules, but attorneys can help you live by the rules. Hauptman O’Brien attorneys are thorough, helpful, considerate and patient. I can strongly recommend Kyle McGinn. The process he assisted me with was arduous and lengthy. I am very appreciative of the outcome and the focus on my return to wellness.
Dave Eckley

Professional and caring.
Very detail oriented and fact finding is a priority.
I felt like I found the best, with the HOWL law firm.
Jeremy, Nichole, and Michael…. WOW!!!!!!
They walked me through hell, and have been there throughout the whole process.
I recommend this firm, if you want to know that you are important, and your case matters.
My case is at closing, and I feel comfortable with the case they worked for me….yet, I feel sad, like I am losing some great friends.
Call this firm….they are honest and good people first.

I can’t thank Jeremy, Nicole, and Andrea enough for the way they handled my case. After my car accident, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, but their team stepped in with confidence, compassion, and clear communication every step of the way.
They explained things in a way that actually made sense, fought hard to make sure I was treated fairly, and never made me feel like just another case number.
If you’re looking for attorneys who actually care and know how to get things done — these are your people
