John O'Donnell primarily practices in the areas of divorce and family law, Wills, estate
planning and administration, residential real estate closings and taxation.  These practice areas
often overlap so clients benefit from Mr. O'Donnell's diversified experience.

settlement cannot be reached, Mr. O'Donnell is fully prepared to defend your rights in court to
ensure that there is a fair and efficient resolution.

While Mr. O'Donnell is committed to the notion that clients deserve zealous advocacy, he
recognizes the far-reaching impact divorce, and its attendant issues, may have on his clients.

economic uncertainty. Mr. O'Donnell is here to help.
