    • I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding professionalism, expertise, and support shown by Joe O’Brien, who has been my solicitor for the past four years during an exceptionally acrimonious and complex divorce case.Throughout this prolonged and often distressing process, Joe has consistently demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, patience, and empathy. The nature of my case has involved deeply sensitive issues, emotional strain, and extensive legal complexity — yet Joe has guided me through every stage with clarity, reassurance, and dignity.Joe’s strategic approach has been nothing short of exceptional. I have always trusted his advice, and it has never steered me wrong. His sharp, tactical thinking consistently secured strong outcomes in my favour — often leaving the other side completely floored and outmanoeuvred. His ability to combine deep legal knowledge with a calm, compassionate approach has made an immeasurable difference to me. At times when the situation felt overwhelming, Joe’s measured guidance and genuine understanding gave me the strength to keep moving forward. After our most recent conversation, I felt a sense of peace and reassurance I had not experienced in many weeks — I was, for the first time in a long while, able to sleep soundly because of Joe’s guidance and reassurance.Joe’s professionalism, manner, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. He has handled every challenge with integrity, precision, and care, ensuring that I have always been informed and supported throughout this incredibly difficult period. It is rare to find a solicitor who balances exceptional legal ability with such empathy and humanity. Joe is an absolute credit to your firm and to the legal profession as a whole. I felt it was important to take the time to acknowledge and commend his outstanding contribution, which has had a genuinely positive impact on my wellbeing and confidence in the justice process. Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to Joe on behalf of myself and my family.

    • Joe O’Brien - regarding the dismissal of a long and arduous non-molestation order: After nearly two years working on the case, allegations were not proved, and we managed to obtain a costs order, which the court does not always do.
