O'Connor Law Firm

"This office suggested to my ex-wife that she kill one of my dogs and drop the other one off at a shelter. Very unprofessional and not very ethical!!! Betsy and her boss, Sheila, think that this is the best way for their client to hurt me!!! Please share this review!"

"Sheila was an AMAZING attorney. She is a powerhouse and knows the law. She worked relentlessly on our very HIGH CONFLICT custody battle. She was aggressive and was able to get everything my husband asked for. She is unorthodox - If you are timid or "faint of heart", she may not be for you, BUT if you want someone who is willing to go outside the box and tell it like it is- Sheila is the best. She is expensive, but you pay for what you get. It did take a VERY long time, but it was not Sheila's fault- I felt it was more of a Saint Tammany Parish issue. Very highly recommended for father's rights. She will dive into your life like she is living it."

"Stay as FAR away from this office as you can!! I hired Sheila for a custody case. No communication. Lies. Paid $5k retainer and all she did was push hearings back and agree to a consent judgement that I knew nothing about. Trust me when I tell you…..stay away from This office."

"Absolutely terrible lawyer as far as communicating with you as a client. I fully understand the fact of being busy with other people. I have left upwards of 5 messages to her and didn't hear anything from her till my last message saying I want to withdraw as her client. If she was great for other people that's awesome but for me and my situation it was a huge waste of money and time. So if you like communication and don't mind paying for it go to someone else that will give you a time of day."

"My case could have been resolved with a clean sweep. $5k paid in advance. Two days before court I get a call… my attorney will not be able to attend. My “substitute” attorney was great for what she was given, but was poorly informed as to what was going on. This caused my case to drag out over multiple hearings and got me nowhere. Nearly 10k in I was forced to throw in the towel. If communication happens with this office at all it’s over speaker phone and attorney sounds like she’s across the room with her head in a file cabinet. Legal aid actually told me, “We are not your babysitter don’t call unless you legitimately need to. The form is pretty straight forward, I’m sure you can figure it out. “ All I could say was, this call has already cost me $50 bucks. I really would not be on the phone right now if I understood. “"
