From Clients:

★★★★★
I was given Bill [Opal]'s name and contact information through a friend and I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire him to handle my divorce. He was able to explain the whole process, which initially seemed very intimidating, in very understandable terms and was always accessible to discuss any question I had, regardless of how simple it was. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of a divorce attorney!

★★★★★
“My case was about the custody of my children. Joe [O’Brien] was always available when I needed him - any day and any time of the day. He always listened to my concerns, discussed the case with me and worked on my case with compassion and understanding. I recommend him to anyone with a case in divorce, child custody, or visitation. Excellent job Joe, Thank you.”

★★★★★
“Danielle [Jaeschke] truly cares for her clients and the stressful feelings that divorce can cause. My divorce was difficult, and at times it felt very overwhelming. I felt that she had a way of keeping me focused and working towards the task at hand. With Danielle's help I was awarded a settlement that I was very pleased with.”

★★★★★
“Attorney William Opal has represented me several times with different matters I was involved in. William and his assistants have provided excellent communication, always made themselves available to talk discuss things with me, and have completed each job quickly and effectively ALWAYS getting the job done properly. William is a very dedicated attorney and clearly passionate about his work and about helping people. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reaching out to William Opal if anyone is looking for representation in any legal matters they may be involved in”

★★★★★
“I am not even sure where to begin. Quite frankly, there are so many amazing things to say about Joe [O’Brien] I am not sure where to start. First off, if I had a billion dollars and could hire anyone to represent me and protect me and my son Joe O'Brien would be it. Joe is one of the most honest and caring people I have ever met. He was more than my attorney, through the worst time in my life he was not only my advocate he became a dear friend…. Thank you so much Joe for all you did.”

★★★★★
“I would highly recommend Danielle Jaeschke as a divorce attorney. She provided excellent guidance, and was diligent and thorough in her assessment of the situation and options available for the best outcome. She provided compassionate insight in a process that is fraught with emotion, frustration, and anxiety. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring her and am positive I made an excellent choice.”

★★★★★
“William Opal was referred to me through a friend of a friend to handle my divorce. He did a great job of helping me keep things in perspective while making sure I understood the law. There was not a time where I thought he was working in his or the firms best interest by simply accruing as many hours as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend William for your family's needs.”

★★★★★
“Divorce can be a difficult process and I wanted a lawyer that would fight for me and my kids. Joe [O’Brien] did that and much more. Joe was able to walk me through each step of the divorce process, he gave me advice on what to do and more importantly, what not to do. He always remained professional and he was always available to answer any questions I had. Joe and his office was also fair with billings. I never felt like he was taking advantage of me or my situation. I highly recommend Joe because I could not have succeeded without him.”

★★★★★
“Absolutely loved Danielle from start to finish. She kept me informed on everything that was going on, gave me choices and scenarios for each idea she had so that I was in the driver's seat as much as I could be. If I had a suggestion that was or wasn't going to work, she would tell me why or why not. She never sugar-coated or minced words with me and I appreciated that…”

★★★★★
“Bill [Opal] worked efficiently to make the process go as quickly as possible. Bill treated me with respect and kept me well informed throughout the process, including me in all the decisions and responding to all my concerns. Going through my divorce was emotionally draining and Bill helped me feel comfortable and at ease during this difficult time in my life. I would highly recommend him to friends, or anyone in need of an attorney.

★★★★★
“Have you ever blocked a shot, then wagged your finger in the face of the shooter? Have you ever hit a home run, then flipped your bat and stared down the pitcher? Have you ever scored a touchdown, then dunked the football through the uprights? Have you ever hit a powerful serve, scored an ace, then flexed to intimidate your opponent? I am a terrible athlete, and have done none of those things. But I felt like I did all four simultaneously when I got my second consecutive win in court with Joe [O’Brien]'s help.”

★★★★★
“I am recommending Danielle Jaeschke to a friend of mine because about 10 years ago she helped my daughter get the child support that she needed. She was very efficient and was able to get results right away.”

★★★★★
“I started out with a pretty terrible attorney, but then found Joe [O’Brien], and he really turned my case around. He is proactive, appropriately aggressive, and reasonable. Joe was constantly in contact with me by phone, text, email, and in-person meetings. He kept me apprised of everything I needed to know, and he explained things to me in a clear (and patient) manner. I'm an attorney, which means my standards are high for my own attorney, but he met every expectation I had. I would recommend Joe to anyone who needs a family law lawyer. Thanks Joe!”
