Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.The Best!! From our first meeting I knew Mr. O'Leary was someone that was going to help me and and guide me through the process. Jessie was so compassionate and helpful with my wife's "special needs." They always had the answers to my many questions. I highly recommend Hayward, Parker & O'Leary.
I am a lawyer in another state. I arranged an initial consultation for a client with Mr. O'Leary regarding asset protection and bankruptcy. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient, and kindly answered all of our questions. He also quoted us reasonable fees. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. O'Leary!
Working with this firm was exceptional. During these difficult times of covid-19. They provide professionalism, compassion and were very informative through the entire process. They surpassed trustworthiness and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need. Thank you for your services!!
Mr. O'Leary and his assistant Debbie helped me immensely during a very difficult, and demoralizing time in my life. I felt I let down my family, by even considering filing bankruptcy. They both were very compassionate and understanding.
Great Law Firm!! Was able to discuss and ask questions at any time I needed. They made the whole process unstressful.
