Sacramento County Injury Attorney John O’Brien Wins the 2025 AV Preeminent Award

For nearly four decades, John O'Brien has fought fiercely for accident injury victims. From auto accident injuries to product liability to construction site injuries, Mr. O'Brien has dedicated his law practice to defending and protecting the rights of the injured. Throughout his tenured career, John has helped his clients obtain over $250 million in compensation. In addition, he has been recognized and awarded by authorities such as Super Lawyers, AVVO, and Martindale-Hubbell.

However, if you were to ask Mr. O'Brien what he believes are his most treasured accomplishments as an attorney, he would not mention his accolades or his record-setting trial and settlement victories.

Instead, what John holds dear is the fact that he has been able to help so many deserving clients when they desperately needed it most.

Today, it is with great honor that we announce Mr. O'Brien has been recognized by Martindale-Hubbell with its 2025 AV Preeminent rating. This is the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards, and it reflects the consistent excellence Mr. O'Brien has demonstrated throughout his career.
