Reviews

David is a very sharp unassuming attorney with a lot of passion who values his clients and cases. He was my second attorney on my family matter, and for many reasons, I wish he were my first choice! Cons: Single shingle attorney. He is exceptionally busy Difficult to get his attention on matters (when I perceive I need it) - not your attorney if you need daily handholding Pros: Always on top of the case - I rest assured he does not miss important dates Very reasonable billing rate Very sharp, understands the intricacies of the law and the bench Many ties to this community, and knows the judges well Wins cases I have recommended David to many friends / coworkers.
I would not recommend David and his practice. I hired him in September. To bring my case over from another state. To then modify visitation. It's now February and all he accomplished for me was bringing over my case from the other state which mind you I could have done myself as I knew how and was familiar. My main reason for hiring David was for if my ex made it difficult to change visitation schedule. He said he would call my ex and never did. I asked several times to submit the case so that we could get in front of a judge. Still never happened. They scammed me out of $3000 dollars. I had to push constantly to get any communication. I felt I had to tell them how to do their job. I paid for hours of his assistant Bryan's time when most that time was Bryan not spelling things correctly or getting case numbers incorrect and addresses and contact info and dates incorrect. He lied to me about a process on bringing the case over then tried to save face in front of David. After that point Bryan was no longer customer service friendly to me at all. Every time I called I felt I was a nuisance and in their way. I constantly had to correct the paperwork for grammar errors and more it was ridiculous. I asked for my itemized billing once a couple months in as I was getting frustrated. I even advised David that I know my case is not a high paying case but I still needed him to work for me and let me know what's going on. Never did get that itemized billing. Then couple months later frustrated again. Asked for my itemized billing, took them over 2 weeks to get this to me. Why do you think that was, I don't think they actually tracked their damn time?! Then find out they exhausted my entire $3000 retainer. How? They didn't do anything. Literally brought my case over. Worked on visitation stipulations that my ex said he would sign. Then my ex changed his mind. Then worked on modification to visitation (which still didn't even get submitted to courts). $3000 for that. Initially David advised me he wasn't even gonna charge me the $150 consultation. That's part of why I hired him. Then on this itemized billing 5 months later I see he did charge me. They also did not follow their own contact. They stated in context they would advise me when retainer is less than $1000 and at that time would request additional funds and they did not. I don't think they are organized and I don't think they really care about anyone's situations. I definitely felt he was more of an advocate to men then woman. So if you are a single mom....DO NOT HAVE HIM REPRESENT YOU. Now I'm out 5 months time and $3000 in savings to only have to do all this myself again as nothing was accomplished. Just ridiculous. I have never had a lawyer but I know this is not how it was suppose to go.
My unforgettable experience!!!! I've been through different attorneys. Most of these attorneys were terrible. Some won't even take my case without the money upfront. No negotiation. Pay first or nothing. I was lost. My first attorney was money driven. I was perplexed in the legal world. Google search, Yelp reviews were impressive but nothing compare when you actually meet these attorney's in person. I finally found Attorney David O'MARA. David advised me that he would take my case only if he was sure that his active case is not going to trial. He would have been tied up in court for months. Luckily his case was resolved. But there was an issue with the opposing counsel trying to blocked David from representing me, because the previous attorney i consulted expected me to hire her. It would have been a disastrous outcome. I would have been sailing with the same boat with a negative outcome and more money and time wasted for nothing. After agreement with his reasonable fee he went into action. David negotiated with the opposing counsel and appeared in court once and my case was settled. It was a pleasure watching Attorney David O'MARA in action inside the court room. Attorney David O'Mara's cool demeanor, his experience and brilliant approach in handling my case resulted a favorable outcome on my side. He was impressive and prepared to go to trial if the opposing counsel did not agree with our offer. He negotiated my case fair and square. I am very thankful and greatful with the result. All these success would not have been possible without the help of his Paralegal Bryan Snyder. Bryan help secured my audience for David to take my case. Bryan was tenacious and played a huge role in my divorce case success. A million thanks to Attorney David O'MARA for being transparent and his bright and trustworthy Paralegal Bryan Snyder. My never-ending gratitude to Attorney David O'MARA who promised me nothing but to help me anyway.... Thanks Alice
David is an amazing attorney who went completely out of his way to make sure all was correct with my case. He worked hard, including working when his wife had just given birth, to ensure all paperwork was in with the court system on time. I highly recommend him as a lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable and will take care of you. I will continue to use David for all my future needs.
I retained the O'Mara Law Firm for my divorce and from the very first meeting with Dave I felt at ease. He was straight with me from the onset about what I was looking at. Throughout the year that it took to complete my divorce I found the O'Mara Law Firm and David to be very professional, conscientious and responsive to my needs. I was completely satisfied with the service and professionalism of David and his staff. His experience not only put my worries to rest but provided me with a better outcome than I ever expected. I have no doubt that if the need arose again for any reason that The O'Mara Law Firm would be my first and only call. I highly recommend these professionals for all your legal needs, you won't be disappointed with the service you receive. Thank you so much David for getting me through this rough year, you were my friend and attorney throughout this experience. David Dixon
