Michael Khalili represented me for a workman’s comp claim. He was amazing. Michael went over the process so I fully understood, he was in constant contact with me so I did not have to worry about how things were going. Michael was very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Michael and this firm.

Everyone at the Bellevue Location was amazing. I was kept informed on how my case was going with each step. I was not looked at as dollar sign but has a person who was hurt. The compassion, and knowledge of the laws by the staff and David was amazing. I hope if you’re looking for an attorney you chose them to represent you. Thank you for taking care of my case.

Attorney O’Brien was with my family from the very day after we were hit by a semi truck on the way back from Chicago and I called to retain his services for myself and family. I always said if I were ever injured in an auto accident I’d call Hauptman O’Brien Wolf and Lathrop. Less than two years after our accident he got my family a very nice settlement. Thanks Tim for your selfless service and dedication to your clients!!
