The team at Hauptman, O’Brien were amazing. They helped me with my lawsuit and got it resolved so quickly. They gave good advice and they never seemed like all they wanted was my money, they genuinely cared to help me! Would definitely recommend them to anyone who has had an injury accident!

What a great idea for everyone involved. We got a free, safe ride home, thanks to Hauptman O’Brien. I love this program and hope they continue offering free rides around New Year’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. I’ll take a free ride anytime. Thanks!

Timothy R. O’Brien and the firm are professional, experienced, and responsive. Tim showed genuine empathy and persistence to get me a fair settlement which was far above what I had been offered without legal counsel.

They took the time to explain how it works on an accident claim and they got us every penny available. We don’t owe $700k in hospital bills and we were able to get a good vehicle. They did good for what there was to work with. Hopefully never have to go through this again but if we do, you can bet that I’ll go back to them!! Thank you to Mr Elliot and team!!
