James F O'Rourke Jr & Associates

Jim O'Rourke has been a mentor and friend to me for over a decade. It was my honor to work for Jim as a Paralegal for years and the time I spent with his firm was an integral part of my professional development. Naturally, when my child was injured in a serious rollover collision, I hired Jim to represent him. When I brought my son in to meet with Jim, they were able to really connect. Jim connected with my son in a way that helped him open up about what he had been going through and Jim was able to help my son see the importance of taking care of his injuries and giving himself grace during this difficult healing process. It goes without saying that I would recommend Jim to anyone who has a complex injury case because they will gain the benefit of having an extremely talented, experienced, and caring legal representative.

I have seen Mr. O’Rourke accomplish amazing things with his clients. Sometimes, I really think he is working miracles for people. He is personally available to, and genuinely cares about, his clients. The clients and their families know that he cares, and he really takes time to understand what every client needs. He also takes people through their processes step-by-step, and is very responsive to all forms of communication. With all of his experience and the accompanying personal network to back up his years of hard work, he easily assists people in obtaining treatment or other necessary resources that are right for them and their individual situation. However, the absolute best thing about him is that he is honest: Mr. O’Rourke does not “sugar coat” anything, yet still shows a great amount of compassion and empathy. I truly believe that honesty and compassion are what set him apart and make him the best.

What can I say James aside from being a great attorney is a GREAT PERSON. If he has room for more clients you are lucky to have him on your side. He will fight for you as family would if they had the education or experience. I did pay a small fee for quick advice due to pushing him to help ,but I have three specialty attorneys now that will handle an unusual case outside of his expertise with certainty that between the three of them will be settled quickly.

If you find that you are in need of legal representation, I would highly recommend leaning on Mr. O'Rourke. He is a man of integrity, a truly kind soul. Mr. O'Rourke worked with me for about 5 months and he was always very good about getting back to me if I called or emailed. The first time I met him, I felt like he could see the real me. I knew that he was not secretly judging me a horrible person but that he could see and really believed that I was not defined by the bad choice I made. It is not often that one finds herself with a lawyer who cares not only about providing her with excellent legal representation, but one who also cares about her emotional and physical well-being. Mr. O'Rourke is a man of high values and a compassionate heart. He is well respected in the land of law enforcement, DA's, judges, treatment centers, etc. He will help you if you let him. Just be real with him and he will be real with you. I would recommend him but only to those who wish to make better decisions and learn from their mistakes. I will be forever grateful for the work Mr. O'Rourke did for me. It is a gift when someone sees the you that you thought was gone forever and then helps you to bring her back to life. He saw a spark in me when I was in the darkest of places and he gave me the courage to reignite it.

James has been my attorney for 30 years. He has represented family members and friends for a long time. He is one of the most honest, hardworking, honorable people I know. I have, and will continue to refer him anyone that needs an attorney!

Mr. O'Rourke Jr. is one of the finest attorneys that I have had the pleasure and honor to work for 2011 and 2012. He has a heavy case load, usually revolving around drugs and alcohol. He believes only in representing those that TRULY want to better themselves through the best program drug/alc/court so that clients succeed, not only in and for their criminal cases, but also in and for the rest of their lives. I have seen him turn down very high dollar retainer fees due to him having the conclusion that the client wasn't "in it to win it" and "it" being their addictions. True Blue Representation for every case if he takes it Not everyone deserves his time. He fights the dirty fight against addiction for his clients. Always has, always will. He's awesome!! Cheers Jim, Rose Bowl aka Grace

Jim and his associates were great. I couldn't thank them enough for what they did for me. They are a very hardworking group and did everything possible to represent me. Thanks Jim for everything. I'll definitely send people your way.

Hired these guy to help me with my accident claim I was rear ended by elderly lady . Two months before the settlement date, they send me a letter stating they can no longer represent me. I never even got a courtesy call with an apology or any reason as to why. I called them and they said "we're not sure, we would have to look into it". Need less to say, I trusted these guys to help me out and was let down. Don't waste your time!!

Are you kidding me and others? O'Rourke may have helped you, and I am certain he can - with the help of his corrupt "team". I am the mother of his children, and I can tell you things that would amaze you. Congratulations for your winning legal services, but if he turns against you, you will always be on the wrong end of the law, forever. Read my book when it comes out.

Spoke to him directly and he asked me to call back the next day. I did as he asked and left a message two days in a row and no return call. Could have just told me the first discussion that you could not help me.
