Mr. O’Neill and his staff were extremely quick to get back with on my case and explained everything so I could understand it. Extremely grateful.

I got into a fight and my accuser fabricated his story. Peter took care of things before we even walked in the court room. Cleared from everything.

I knew Peter was the man for the job ahead of time. Regardless of knowing I was in amazing hands, everybody involved exceeded my expectations. I am extremely impressed. Far beyond 5 stars. Highly recommend. If you have a headache this law office is the cure. Thank you so much!

Hands down the best defense lawyer around. He knows what he is doing and he will fight for his clients! I’m so glad I hired him for my son!

A rock star from a fine family of world class lawyers! I wouldn’t call anyone else for legal advice be it civil, family, real estate, trusts and of course his well know speciality- criminal defense work.

Peter O'Neill is a class act!!! He is honest, knowledgable and genuinely cares about fair outcomes for his clients. If you made one mistake don't make it worse by hiring a bad attorney. You might think it's expensive to hire a professional but wait until you hire a rookie.

Simply superb & time-efficient lawyering in all aspects of criminal defense proceedings in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. I have retained Peter S. O'Neill, Esq. on four occasions over the last ten years to represent a family member against charges arising from the family member's occasional noncompliant conduct during the course of responding to my "911" emergency requests for assistance in transporting him to the ER for appropriate and urgent medical/psychiatric attention. In addition to quashing a warrant for my family member's arrest, which threatened to completely vitiate his therapeutic benefit and stability from having spent over a month of therapy at a renowned psychiatric hospital, Peter O/Neill and his principal associate, Michael Ott, ultimately succeeded in dismissing all criminal changes against him, on all occasions.

Contacted Peter's office for legal representation relating to a peace order petition filed by a neighbor outside my development. Initially, his associate Michael Ott did a terrific job of obtaining the background information relating to my case. During my hearing at the Circuit Court in Annapolis, Peter presented my defense case masterfully and the judge issued a ruling in my favor. His knowledge of the law and rules of the courtroom were top-notch. Definitely, recommend Peter without any reservations for cases in Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas. Bottom line, Peter is an EXCELLENT attorney.

Mr. O'Neill has handled many of my cases throughout the years. Peter has always come through on all of them very professional and knowledgeable of all the laws in and out! Highly recommend Mr. O'Neill, there is no substitute!

I’ve used Peter’s representation for years as a young adult. I had my 6th dui young at the age of 25! There was no way out, I had no chance, which was understandable on my end. I was sentenced to 5 years in prison which was respectable on my end given the circumstance. He had it reduced to 18 months. He filed an appeal promising me even less which I contemplated due to my lengthy record but I succumbed. A week later during the appeal hearing, Peter found a flaw in the documents the sentencing judge had written, I was released with the appeal judge stating “from a legal standpoint we have held you unlawfully for a week in jail, case dismissed”! At applaud in the courtroom, I walked away and changed my life for the better! If it wasn’t for Peter, I don’t think I would’ve been able to live my life for the better, that I do today!!

If you want a good attorney call Mr. O'Neill and Attorney Michael Ott They handed my case and got me the best results, I could not be more pleased. Thanks again.

I was a fugitive with an active arrest warrant for 10 years. When I decided to face the music, my family and I hired Peter to defend me. He was able to get the 10 year-old warrant quashed, and subsequently got the charges against me dismissed, completely. I cannot thank he and his staff enough. It's over, and I have my life back. I didn't expect this wonderful an outcome.

Peter O'Neill was amazing in handling my case! Since I don't live in Maryland I didn't know where to start in hiring a lawyer, but THANK GOD I was referred to Peter O'Neill. Facing 38 charges, 9 of them being felonies, I needed to find someone who would be efficient, effective, and equipped to handle these criminal offenses on my behalf. Not only was Peter responsive and helpful with all of my questions and concerns, I also wasn't convicted on any of the charges! Mr. Peter O'Neill is an amazing attorney with surprisingly affordable and flexible fees. He resolved my legal situation better than I could have ever expected and I HIGHLY recommend him if you ever find yourself in legal trouble. Thank you Mr. O'Neill!

Since I became an adult I have had two criminal arrests resulting from traffic stops. I have used Peter as my attorney on both occasions and he has in both cases done everything in his power to help me. In the first case I was arrested for driving while impaired by alcohol and possession of marijuana. Although the state had an ironclad case against me, Peter was able to convince them to give me the benefit of probation before judgement. The second case was for driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, and failure to change lanes or reduce speed when passing a stopped emergency vehicle. (You would be wise to remember this new Marlyland law). Peter was able to argue the legality of the stop in our favor, and I was acquitted of all charges. Keep in mind that Peter has been in the business for a long time, and he thinks and acts quickly. I would not be shocked if some individuals would consider him to be short or unresponsive to their inquiries about their case. The truth is though that he does what needs to be done to win each case in the most efficient manner. If he needs to speak with you about your case, he will contact you. Otherwise you will likely just meet him at the courthouse and quickly discuss whatever is necessary to shoot for the most favorable outcome. Don't scoff at the amount of money he charges for his services. A verdict of "not guilty" is worth the extra cash. We all know that a guilty verdict almost always ends up costing you MUCH more in the end. I highly recommend Peter O'Neill for any criminal defense needs, especially traffic related cases.

I was represented by Peter O'Neill and Michael Ott. I'm so glad I left my other attorney and came here. Once I paid to obtain my attorney, they hit the ground running the SAME DAY! by obtaining evidence and sending emails to the prosecutor. My experience elsewhere prior was completely different. I really wish I could be transparent enough to show how much of a difference it was between my other two attorneys vs here. The day of court, Mr. Ott showed up looking like a tall glass of water(which is how I'd like my attorney to look). I hope this isn't taken the wrong way if his wife sees this. I promise I am happily married but still appreciate that he arrived dressed for success. He actually was able to have my case heard earlier and dropped before I even arrived to court and honestly I can't explain how grateful I was to not have to step foot inside a court room. While I am super happy with my service here, I still hope I never need them again but I will most certainly keep this contact forever!
