“My mother was convicted of murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole when I was nine years old. The most devastating part about it was that she was entirely innocent. Deirdre O'Connor came into our lives unexpectedly one day and agreed to represent my mother. Deirdre believed in my mother's innocence and, from then on, we knew we were in good hands. I have never met an individual who works harder and more efficient than Deirdre O'Connor. The passion she had and still has for my mother's case is extraordinary! After spending 17 years behind bars for a murder my mother did not commit, Deirdre was able to prove my mother's innocence. On October 14, 2014, Susan Mellen (my mom) was exonerated and proven factually innocent because of Deirdre's passion, motivation, determination and sleepless nights. This active process of representing my mother and getting her exonerated all happened in less than 1 year! We are so thankful and appreciative of Ms. O'Connor and it would be impossible for us to thoroughly express our gratitude. She is the reason our family is together again! We will never be able to get back the years we spent apart, but now we are able to cherish the future together!”

“My innocence mattered! Deirdre O'Connor represented me in my habeas petition and I couldn’t have made a better choice. She cares about the truth and she seeks it. She always made herself available to me and kept me informed about anything that was happening or even not happening. She’s honest, hardworking and she knows the law. I was innocent of the charges I was being held on, and with her hard work & diligence, she righted that wrong and got my conviction vacated. She’s the best lawyer I've ever experienced and even a better person. Highly, highly recommended!!”

“One of the hardest qualities to find in an attorney is trustworthiness. I knew from the moment I met Deirdre she was someone I could trust. Being able to put my trust in her was instrumental in proving my innocence. Without her I would more likely than not be spending the rest of my life in prison for a crime I didn't commit. She is the best attorney a person could find. With her experience in both criminal defense and appellate law she is truly a rare find. If you're in the fight to prove your innocence, she is the one!”

“My name is Lacey Sculls. In February of 2018, my husband and I were arrested based on false accusations that were made, against us. A month later, we were arraigned on multiple felony charges, of crimes we did not commit. We were each facing up to a decade in prison. Neither my husband nor I had never been in trouble with the law before. We were in complete shock and disbelief, and were absolutely terrified. We knew we were innocent, but had absolutely no idea how to proceed. Feeling completely alone and at the end of our rope, we searched high and low for the right attorney for us, and thankfully, we found out about Deirdre O'Connor and Seamus law. We learned of all the incredible work that Ms. O'Connor has done, freeing innocent people who were wrongfully incarcerated. When I learned about Ms. O'Connor, I knew she was the only attorney who could handle our case - and we were right! Ms. O'Connor is tough, steadfast, incredibly smart, and knows how to think outside the box. She was relentless, and would not stop until we got everything that we needed in order to have a proper defense. There was no hurdle that Ms. O'Connor couldn't overcome. She went to great lengths to prove our innocence, and left no stone unturned. Through her persistence and hard work, she was able to show the courts and the jurors that my husband and I truly were innocent. We were found "not guilty" on all charges, and several weeks later, we were granted a "factual innocence". My husband and I were in serious trouble, and thanks to Ms. O'Connor, we got our life back. We are so thankful and so grateful for Ms. O'Connor. She stepped up and got a really difficult job done the right way, when two other law firms couldn't do it. Deirdre O'Connor literally saved my life, and the life of my husband.”

“I was facing years in prison for a crime I did not commit. The judge and the DA were pressuring me to take a deal. Even my original attorney kept referring to it as "a good deal." I knew I was innocent but I was also scared things would get worse if I fought it. I didn't have faith in my current attorney so I searched online and found Deirdre! Not only is she smart, extremely thorough and dedicated; she's fearless. She doesn't back down to bullying DAs or judges. She put the time in and spoke to everyone involved; she knew the facts better than me. Deirdre gave me the confidence to fight my case. When I got nervous, she reminded me the facts were on our side and that I was innocent. She resisted all pressure to cave and eventually got my case dismissed. She saved me and my family decades of grief!”

“Deirdre O’Connor did for me something I thought would never happen. After I was wrongfully convicted due to false evidence, police misconduct and a bad defense lawyer, Deirdre fought for me and got my strike offense vacated and persuaded the court to find me factually innocent. She listened to me and she believed in me. She went out of her way for me in many ways. I could talk to her about anything and she listened. To me, she is an angel who worked a miracle for me. I’m so grateful for you Deirdre O’Connor.”
