Brian O'Connor did an excellent job for me. I was hit by a car while cycling, and Brian took care of everything. He even showed up at several of my doctor's appointments. He was able to get the maximum settlement for me, and made he experience as seamless as positive, Brian was always available to answer my questions, and give appropriate advice. I give my highest recommendation to hire Brian to represent you, especially if you are a cyclist that is in need of a personal injury attorney.
