Mr. O'Mara's Profile

As a retired police lieutenant, Pete was in my courtroom too many times to count. Over time, we got to know and respect one another. No doubt the best DWI attorney that I ever knew. No doubt one of the best in the state. Honest, fair and just a great man.

For those of you considering the O’Mara Law Firm, I highly recommend this law firm, no I am not a client. I am a retired Police Officer with over 250 DWI arrests in my career. I have met many lawyers in my career and only a few have the experience and knowledge to represent a client. Pete O’Mara represents his client with their best interest not his. He looks at each case like it is his first, there is no part of a case he does not go through. He always gets the best results.

I have known Attorney Peter O’Mara professionally (as a client) for 17 years. I have personally hired Peter on a couple of occasions with tremendous results and have recommended him to my own friends. and business associates who have also had great outcomes after hiring him. Highly recommend this office for any of your traffic and criminal offenses across Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties.

I have known Pete for many years of my former career in Law Enforcement and there wasn’t one time he did not come fully prepared for court and ready to fight for his client. Highly recommend!!

Mr. O’Mara, each case I watch you in, and I’ve had the privilege to do that for the 11 years I’ve sat here, you have never ceased to amaze me about how you come up with your knowledge of the law. And I always think, well, he can’t better himself in the next case and I’ll be darned if you didn’t pull it off in this one. Incredible.

– Honorable Gerald Eak, J.M.C.
Brick Township Municipal Court Judge

I am a retired police officer. One of my very first Dui trials was against Peter. It was a good one and he stumped me a few times. even tried the old “slap the table with his hand.” one I will never forget even though I won hahah. Peter O’Mara shook my hand after and told me what a good job I did. Stand up character. Went against him many times and he was always professional. If you need an attorney for anything, Pete is your guy.
