Biography

There was a time when working men and women had no one to turn to if they were hurt on the job. Raised in a small coal mining community, Michael J. O'Connor witnessed first hand this injustice. His father and grandfather, both working men, saw coal workers who were denied benefits and were unable to support their families. Unsafe working conditions continue today. Unfortunately, many injured workers are still denied benefits. In 1987, Michael J. O'Connor founded his firm with the goal of helping injured workers through every stage of litigation, and beyond. With over 25 years of experience, offices located in the largest cities of Pennsylvania, and our roots in the community-minded rural town of Frackville, our firm has the experience you need on your side without losing the personal attention and trust you are looking for.
