O’Brien Law Firm

The right referral protects the client and the referring relationship.

Referral and co-counsel arrangements should begin with clarity: the client’s needs, the division of responsibility, communication expectations, conflicts, deadlines, and fee terms consistent with applicable ethical rules.

The firm evaluates mesothelioma, asbestos, sexual-abuse, crime-victim, wrongful-death, and related serious civil matters. Every referral is reviewed for fit, jurisdiction, conflicts, and capacity before any representation is accepted.
