Firm Information
Overview
As a military-focused law firm anchored in Austin, Texas, with additional offices in Taylor and San Antonio, O’Connell West, PLLC, extends comprehensive legal representation to service members, veterans and their families across domestic and overseas duty stations. Our practice encompasses a broad spectrum of services, including military criminal defense, family law, independent investigations, law enforcement defense, victims’ rights advocacy, personal injury, whistleblower representation and other sensitive matters.
We understand the unique challenges of military life, and our attorneys bring mission-ready knowledge to every case, whether it involves the major army, navy, air force, Marine Corps, Space Force, joint bases or key installations abroad. We tailor our approach to each client’s needs, blending strategic insight with compassion, resourcefulness and unwavering dedication.
From courtroom defense to administrative proceedings, our team manages all aspects of legal disputes. We counsel clients confronting civilian charges or facing the full weight of military justice, offering focused guidance on security-clearance challenges, administrative separations and corrections of military records. We leverage our deep network of current and former special-operations forces, federal and state law enforcement, and intelligence-community professionals to gather critical information and reduce risks to personnel and operations.
In Austin, we offer in-person consultations, fostering a personal connection that many online firms cannot provide. Our attorneys are equally accessible through virtual appointments, ensuring responsiveness no matter where duty calls. We accept credit cards and provide a free initial consultation, enabling prompt access to legal support when it matters most.
Led by veterans with firsthand experience in uniform, we appreciate the gravity of service-related injuries such as PTSD and traumatic brain injury, and we pursue every avenue to develop mitigating or exculpatory evidence. Whether forging discreet solutions for sensitive scenarios or delivering tenacious courtroom advocacy, we commit to protecting our clients’ rights and reputations. We stand with you, wherever your mission takes you.
