5 or 6 years I found myself in an unfortunate situation when I was falsely accused of DUI after being pulled over by the FHP. After meeting a couple lawyers and not being satisfied I was recommended Mr. O’Brien. Aaron was honest, straight-forward, aggressive and very receptive to my wants and needs.

Mr. O’Brien was more than professional. I was in a position of getting no where and the potential end result was looking very grim. He listened & also went above and beyond working with all players involved in my case. Mr. O’Brien made me and my family feel as we were his top priority, asking questions then actually listening to my answers.

I couldn’t be happier with the work that Aaron O’Brien did on my behalf. The months that my case was open were extremely stressful for me and my family, but I felt progress with every conversation I had with Mr. O’Brien. The outcome FAR EXCEEDED my expectations.
