What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

“Hiring Tim was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

He approached the work with tenacity, anticipated potential problems, and operated with my best interest in mind. His professionalism and energy both inspired my trust.

- Erik

"He treated my money as his own."

Tim O'Hare was all I could ask for in an attorney. First and foremost, he treated my money as his own, always making the best decisions for me instead of simply running up costs and billable hours as so many attorneys do. Second, his knowledge of the applicable laws was always above and beyond, and he handled my case quickly and expertly. I would strongly recommend Tim and his law office.

- Amanda

"The best!"

Tim and his team could not have been more professional and thorough in handling our case. Being involved in an accident while on vacation out of state creates a lot of uncertainty, especially with a toddler, and Tim immediately eased my concerns and took the lead on handling all of the details I did not have the time or knowledge to handle. I heartily and readily recommend Tim and his firm to handle any of your personal injury cases.

- Kellan

"A step above the rest."

In college, I played football at The University of Texas with Tim O’Hare. He has the same tenacity now as he did then. That tenacity and integrity led me to choose him for my personal injury case. As expected, Tim didn’t disappoint. He is an outstanding attorney, and I give him my highest recommendation. As a former pro football player and All-SWC tight end, I’ve dealt with many professionals. Tim O’Hare and his staff are a step above. From the moment you become a client, you’re treated like family. They keep you informed, go to bat for you, and get results. You can’t go wrong hiring them for a personal injury case. I wholeheartedly recommend The Law Offices of Tim O’Hare. Tim is an exceptional attorney with a wonderful staff who truly care. I hope I never need his services again, but if I do, I’d hire him in an instant. Tim is as good as they get and someone you can trust.

- Cash

"I have known Tim for several years. He is one of the top personal injury lawyers in Dallas."

I know when we send a client to Tim, they will be represented aggressively, intelligently, compassionately and ethically. I have never had a single client I referred to Tim come back and say anything but good things about him. He also has an excellent staff. You cannot go wrong allowing Tim O’Hare to handle your personal injury case. Whether it is a multi-million-dollar case or a much smaller one, Mr. O’Hare will bring his experience and resources to the table for you and represent you as well or better than anyone you could ever find.
