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!!

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!

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!
