“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!!”

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!!

David O’Neill and his team really helped me out in a bad situation! They made the process of getting my settlement easy, and did all of the work for me! I would recommend Hauptman, O’Brien Personal Injury Lawyers to anyone I know, and even to those who I don’t know!
Felisha Phelps
Having David O’Neill and his team by my side after a major car accident was a huge blessing! We had mountains of doctor bills piling up and I did not truly knowing how to navigate all that on my own. It was so easy to hand everything over to them and not have to worry about that. Having to deal with the months of PT for all of us and surgery after was stressful enough. In the end, I walked away very happy that I chose to go with David O Neill to represent us.

I experienced a situation that resulted in a personal injury, and I didn’t hesitate to contact Kyle McGinn with Hauptman, O’Brien. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained precisely what I needed to to and what to expect. He was patient and professional, and I would 10/10 recommend!

It started with my original well know lawyer in Omaha past away while my case was just starting off. So I contacted Tim Obrien , he was busy and I left a msg for him . I would then say within 24 to 48 hours Tim himself called me and we spoke minor details about the case. So we decided together to set up a meeting with Mr Obrien.. upon meeting with Tim Obrien I decided to have handle the case and it was the best decision I have made.. Tim Obrien was very thorough and was very prompt to update me on the case regularly. I was pleased with the final outcome and highly would recommend him for your personal injury needs thank you to his law firm for everything that he’s done for our family.
