Have had many other Attorney at Law Groups before from Los Angeles, PHX, and Nevada. They were amazingly responsive, helpful and so quick via there website then here for an email first, then I called per the Lead Attorney's request and was treated with respect and maturity and not just another income on incoming calls/lines. Very Professional. I was especially seeking out Mr. O'Malley due to litigation in AlCo. And very upfront. They did not cover the area we needed designation for and operate in the next door County as well. But...five star due to not only rapid response from last Friday

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Needed an attorney for a few legal matters. Initially did some searching and was put in touch with Dan at ORO. Dan was confident and knowledgeable. Never promised more than he thought was possible and delivered results well above what I expected. The point of the story is if you need a lawyer this is the place to reach out to.

Can't say enough about this firm!! I have been using them since 2011 and this review is long over due. They are a cut above the rest and it shows from the moment you walk in their attention is on you. They care and I can say that's a attribute most lawyers lack. Their Authentic, transparent , fighters and know their business.Listen I can go on and on but if you want the best and a fighting chance put Dan, Jason or Tom in the ring and know that your corner owns the belt. Thank you all for taking such good care of me and everyone I send your way.

I honestly don't even know where to start.... I needed an attorney and like most people hit google and submitted a bunch of requests to various firms. Dan was one of the first to call me back. He shared with me his background as a prosecutor, judge, and now private lawyer. He put me at ease and has a clear understanding of how the system works and how to get things done. We had a meeting and got the ball rolling on what I needed to do on my end. He never made a promise he didn't keep, but also didn't make unrealistic claims and promises as to what would happen. He didn't promise

Dan Omally is a great lawyer. From my personal experience, if he says "I can help with your case" then he means just that. Not the type of lawyer to have you waiste a ton of money if he can't help with the case. Honest and hard working. Between him and his assistance the help is very profession. If you can't get threw to dan his assistant, Bri is in continuous contact with him and she will relay your question or concern to him asap, to were you can get some feed back sooner then you might think. Thanks dan and Bri.I'm at home with my daughter eating a home cooked meal thanks

Dan and Brianna are amazing friends and resources to have on your side. They always reply to emails almost instantly and will never leave your questions unanswered.

Dan will always give you an honest opinion and recommendation. It's very clear that he has an immense amount of knowledge and experience in what he does everyday. Dan isn't one of those condescending lawyer jerks you hear about all of the time. He genuinely wants to help you reach the best solution possible. I was referred to him by a family friend who has worked with him on a few cases. In all of those cases, Dan resolved

My family hired Dan O'Malley to help my youngest brother in a juvenile criminal case. It was a very stressful time for all of us but Dan guided us throughout the process and put us at ease. He is professional and knowledgeable. He respected my family and encouraged my brother to to get past this mistake in life and make better decisions. We appreciate everything he and his office had done for us and I would recommend Dan O'Malley to anyone in need of an attorney.

Best Law off hands down. Was charged with a DUI in April 2016, every step of the way of this nightmare was made 100% easier with Dan O'Malley and his team at ORO Law firm. Today, I just recieved a personal phone call from Dan that my charge was beat, all I can say is I learned my lesson and thanks to Dan (the best lawyer ever) I'm basically in my opinion getting another chance at a normal life without all the horrible consequences that come with a DUI. All I can say is don't drink and drive & if you do, and you get caught, Dan is 100% the one to call. I will forever be so grateful

I have to definitely write a review for,
The Best Attorney's At Law!!!!!!
Tom was my Attorney for my auto accident, Tom did an amazing job with my case for myself and my children who were also involved in the accident.

We originally had a HORRIBLE LAWYER that caused so much stress on us & didn't do much of anything & when we found Tom he was the One!
Tom and his assistant Jennifer kept us informed about our case at all times & the stress level I had was relieved because of these two. I appreciate all the hard work of the ORO Law Firm...!!!

April this year I was in a car accident and after reading all the great reviews I decided to go with O'Connor, Runckel & O'Malley to help me with me case. I called the office and set up a meting with Jason Runckel. At our first meeting Jason was very professional, showed genuine concern about my situation and my health. Throughout the duration of the case, Jason as well as his wonderful assistant Jennifer, kept me up to date with everything that was happening which gave me confidence in the job that they were doing for me. Special Thanks to Jennifer and the rest of the O.R.O. family

I have personally known Dan since October 2010 when I was in a serious motorcycle accident after being t-boned by a distracted driver at a major intersection. While recuperating from my injuries, I started doing my research for legal representation online through Google and came across the O'Connor, Runckel & O'Malley law firm webpage.

After some intensive personal research with other law firms and gauging how other clients felt, I decided that I wanted Dan to represent me in my case. I reached out to Dan on a Friday morning. What happened next blew me away...Dan didn't just
