New York Attorney Profiles
John O’Gara
Mr. O'Gara is a seasoned trial lawyer with a proven track record of winning results. Insurance companies and defense attorneys recognize Mr. O'Gara's well earned reputation for going to trial rather than settling for less than a case is worth. This works in favor of his clients, as defendants are more likely to offer a reasonable settlement when faced with a capable lawyer who they know will force a trial.
Born in 1968 to Irish immigrants in the Bronx, Mr. O'Gara worked in construction before attending the State University of New York at Albany and Saint John’s University School of Law in Queens. Admitted to the bar in 1996, Mr. O’Gara has made a career of fighting on behalf of people who have been wrongfully injured, against those parties responsible and their insurance companies who would deny victims their just compensation. He has represented injured construction workers, car accident victims, assault and battery victims, and others who have had their lives suddenly changed for the worse. Mr. O'Gara’s clients are decent, hard working people who have suffered unforeseen difficulties, who look to his dedicated professionalism and guidance to help them through difficult times. He is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and is committed to fighting for the individual, often against powerful corporations, in order to hold parties responsible for wrongdoing and see justice done.
