Tim O’Brien is a dedicated resident of Omaha, actively involved in giving back to his community. He volunteers at the 15th Club, which supports the Pinnacle Bank Championship, a golf tournament benefiting local charities.
Additionally, Tim donates his time to local food banks, where he helps package food for those in need within his community.
“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!!”

We have nothing but heartfelt praise for Mike Khalili and his team. He sincerely guided us when we didn’t know where to start. What he did to help us was beyond our expectations and we are grateful to Mike and his team for their professionalism and caring throughout what was a difficult time for us. Mike was always informative, reached out regularly to check on Randy’s well-being and kept us posted on all negotiations. Shout out to Kate for her expertise and help regarding the antique car.
