About Lovett O'Brien

The attorneys at Lovett O’Brien have decades of experience helping clients resolve a wide variety of business disputes, government investigations, and other complicated legal issues. We take a practical approach to solving your legal problems and work collaboratively with you to develop a strategic plan to achieve your goals. Sometimes informal negotiations are the best path forward and other times you need vigorous representation in a court of law or before a government agency. We tailor a legal strategy to fit your needs and budget.

We represent businesses, individuals, and organizations. Clients contact us when they have a serious problem, are under investigation, or are unsure about how to proceed with a legal matter. We get to know our clients, their businesses, and their personal circumstances. We are responsive and discreet. After we have resolved their immediate challenges, clients often return to us to help them plan for avoiding new problems in the future.
