Overview

While corporate, nonprofit, association and individual clients hire O’Hagan Meyer attorneys because of our broad and deep expertise, stellar reputation and outstanding track record in the courtroom, they rehire us primarily because of one key attribute: we tell it like it is. When a case or matter comes to us, we examine it thoroughly but quickly and if we and our client believe we should litigate, we’ll roll up our sleeves and fight to win. But if we determine that it’s in the client’s best interest to settle, we’ll say so, explain why and get rid of the problem as fast and efficiently as possible. We’re straight shooters, straight away.

We have offices staffed by nationally honored and well-regarded attorneys in all the major regions in the United States. With such geographic reach and depth, we use our experience and expertise to solve problems wherever they arise. Yet, because we operate in a low-overhead environment, we’re able to deliver top-shelf counsel at fair rates. We’re not profit-driven, we’re service-driven.

Client Comments

A strong relationship between a client and their law firm is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Open communication, trust, and collaboration ensure that attorneys understand each client’s unique goals and needs. Choosing the right firm means finding a team with the experience, knowledge, and dedication to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
Client comments reflect personal opinions and individual experiences. Every case is different, and outcomes depend on specific facts and circumstances. Past results and testimonials do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters. For personalized legal advice, consult directly with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your specific situation and provide tailored guidance.
