I am an attorney practicing in Northern New Jersey. I look forward to helping people with their legal issues, primarily in the areas of bankruptcy law and debt collection defense litigation.

I will work to understand your legal problem and to help you find a workable solution. I listen closely to clients and work to understand their needs, in any context.

I believe in keeping the lines of communication open between attorney and client. I believe in working hard to help you find a solution to your legal problem. I value your business.

Are you drowning in debt and can't seem to find a way out?

If so, you may need an attorney to help determine whether a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is right for you. Please call me at (646) 932-1053 or (201) 676-0722. My email address is weilattorney@gmail.com

I generally do free consultations over the telephone. In-person meetings are by appointment only.

With 25 years of experience, I represent financial professionals and firms in all aspects of their operation, compliance and litigation matters, nationwide. I also represent individual brokers from virtually every major firm in their contract negotiations, employment termination, U-4 and U-5 issues. In specialized situations where the facts or law present novel issues, I also represent investors.

Locally, I represent small and medium sized businesses in their formation, operation and litigation, using my Wall Street background to assist those business entities.

Gary O'Brien is an experienced commercial real estate attorney focusing on assisting small and medium size businesses with their real estate needs. Gary O'Brien made the decision to enter private practice at the reputable, small New Jersey firm of Podvey Meanor, P.C. because he is motivated and inspired by helping small to medium size businesses succeed.

To most businesses, real estate is an overhead cost, much like paper and pens. The difference, of course, is that real estate is a much larger and more complex overhead.

Gary O'Brien puts his experience to work for small and medium size businesses so they can keep real estate overhead costs to a minimum, save money, and stay focused on their core business.
