“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!!”

Nia Williams

Justin Acosta
Was involved in a serious car accident and broke my neck. My family reached out to this firm and they immediately went to work. If you want someone who has your best interests in mind then look no further. In all honesty I did nothing, they worked hard and handled absolutely everything. And the end result was much better than I could’ve hoped for.
Jack McCloud
Hauptman, O’Brien along with Kathryn Harnett worked hard and stuck it out even when it got tough and I had pretty much given up on any justice in my case. Cheers.

Taylor Carl
I had the pleasure of being represented by Michael Khalili after I was injured in a car accident, and I can honestly say he did an amazing job. He was professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. Michael kept me informed every step of the way and fought hard to make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney!
Clint Clausen
We appreciated all of the support and help we got through the process. And when we did call with a question, we always got a very prompt return call back, with all the answers we needed. Looking back there is no way we could have done this with out the support of the staff at this office. Everything was an open book and we were very happy with the outcome. Thank you for everything!

No Attorney Fees Unless You Win
I was reluctant to deal with lawyers and suing for my injury. Would have settled myself if I’d been offered the cost of my care, but I was put off. My son, who had previously used this firm took me to see them. They pursued avenues for recovery that I never thought of and settled for far, far more than I ever dreamed. They are well worth the time. Kyle McGann was professional and kind.
