O'Connell and Aronowitz

Several years ago, I retained Michael McDermott to represent me in a very difficult and challenging matter and I'm so very glad that I did. In addition to being knowledgeable, highly skilled and eminently professional, Mike is calm, thoughtful and measured. Due to the complex nature of and risks attendant to my circumstances, I found Mike to be two parts legal advisor and one-part personal therapist; he filled both roles expertly and with aplomb. Mike's considerable efforts resulted in a favorable outcome of my case; indeed, a result far exceeding my expectations at the outset. In the years since I've had several occasions to seek additional assistance from Mike and, without exception, he has been characteristically responsive and diligent. I remain profoundly grateful to Mike, and I highly recommend him and O'Connell and Aronowitz.

Graig Zappia and James Wighaus are tremendous. They've helped me on numerous takes and always peroxide great feedback and steer me in the right direction. Can't go wrong with OA.

My husband and I found ourselves in a heartbreaking situation I never imagined we'd face. I was emotionally overwhelmed and felt like my world was falling apart. In the midst of it all, I reached out to Kelly. From our very first conversation, she listened with compassion and explained everything we needed to know about pursuing visitation rights for our granddaughter. Kelly gave me hope during a time when I had very little. Even when agreements fell through and it felt like we were starting over, she never gave up on us. She stood by our side, reassuring us that things would work out--and in the end, they did. Her paralegal, Tanya, was just as incredible. She was always there to listen and offer support whenever I needed it. I truly don't have the words to express how grateful I am for both of them. Kelly and Tanya were a light during one of the darkest times in our lives. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated legal support.

Attorney Stephen Coffey represented me for a NYSCVA case and did an extraordinary job. While it was an stressful undertaking and risk, I trusted him and his team. He led with expertise, respect and no-nonsense. He helped me be clear about expectations, invested in investigation and the complexities of my case, and also compassionate about the sensitive nature the subject at hand. When he noticed I was shy or feeling sensitive he'd give me a break or bring in a female attorney to make me feel more comfortable. I highly recommend this firm, by the end I felt like I was part of the O&A family.

This law firm was great during my consultation with them. They were also great at reviewing my case and assessing my legal needs. They did a great job.
