Two focused civil practices. One standard of preparation.

Practice Areas

O’Brien Law Firm focuses on serious civil claims involving asbestos disease, sexual abuse, crime victims, and preventable loss. Every matter begins with the facts, available evidence, and the client’s goals.

Related civil claims

The right path depends on who caused the harm and which people or organizations had the power to prevent it.

Choosing where to begin

You do not need to identify every legal claim before calling.

01

Describe the harm

Start with the diagnosis, abuse, crime, misconduct, or death that led you to seek information.

02

Identify people and organizations

Employers, manufacturers, schools, churches, businesses, property owners, and other institutions may require review.

03

Preserve what exists

Medical records, employment histories, complaints, messages, photographs, policies, and witness information may matter.

04

Review the available paths

A lawsuit, trust claim, workers’ compensation claim, insurance claim, or another civil process may be available.

What every practice shares

A case is evaluated on evidence, deadlines, responsible parties, and the client’s goals.

Deadlines, defendants, jurisdiction, available insurance or assets, causation, damages, and the client’s goals can change the appropriate strategy. The firm’s first task is to identify the questions that must be answered before recommending a path.

When the facts are specific or time-sensitive, a private conversation can help identify the responsible parties, approaching deadlines, and the strongest next steps.
