Testimonials
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.
Tony G. – Retired Law Enforcement
Mr. O’Mara, I have been doing this stuff going close to 30 years, mostly in the criminal courts, as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and a Judge. I’ve never seen anybody as prepared for a criminal case as I saw you prepared for this case. You knew it inside and out. You knew things some of the experts didn’t seem to think that they knew as well as you did. You should go out of here with your head held high. You represented your client to the fullest. You did your profession proud. I only pray and wish for the rest of my time on the bench, that I have attorneys such as you appearing in front of me and doing the professional outstanding job you did. You’re a credit to your profession.

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.
William C. – Retired Law Enforcement
Always a Gentleman and an Extraordinary Attorney. Mr. O’Mara was always impressive and a pleasure to have in my courtroom. Keep up the fine work.

I have known Pete O’Mara professionally and personally for over 25 years!! You will not find a more attentive, prepared, tenacious, qualified and diplomatic defense attorney anywhere! Pete maintains a very positive and well respected working relationship with law enforcement, the courts, his clients and his fellow litigators. my family and friends have retained Pete for his services and were beyond satisfied and I am more than confident to reccomend him to anyone who is in need of a true litigator. If I were ever in need of a criminal defense attorney, Pete would be my first call!

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!!
Steven C. – Retired Law Enforcement
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. Do you know, and as tough as I am on drunk driving, I think we’ve got to give Counsel his credit where it’s due. I mean, how many lawyers would come in here and be that thorough? Believe me, it’s like one in a million! My compliments to you, Mr. O’Mara. It’s always–and as much as I dislike drunk driving–I have to admit, my job here is to be neutral, but the way you’ve done your research here, counsel? My compliments
Honorable Gereld 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.
Bob H. – Retired Law Enforcement
A straight shooter, always prepared and ready to go
Honorable Martin C. Goodall, J.M.C. – Retired Municipal Court Judge
This guy is a beast in the court. An amazing attorney. I’m surprised he’s not working out of Manhattan in a skyscraper named after him.
Doug D.
He is well respected within his field. Pete along with a few others have earned great respect in the law enforcement community.

Pete O’Mara is the absolute best in the business! Best in the area, one of the best in the country! he is a family man and understands the needs of one despite the infractions we can possibly all go through here and there when abiding the law; but we all must continue life one way or another. He will fight for your rights and dispute anything that may seem as unlawful. He will not go down without a fight and that’s why I truly respect him and his business. Thank you to The O’Mara Law Firm for everything you have done!
D. E. – Former Client
Pete is a first class stand up man that will fight for what is right. His values are second to none and professionalism can never be questioned. If you want an honest, caring, professional, fighter (I know odd when it comes to lawyers) then Pete and his firm are the ones for you.

One of the best in the business! A class act all the way!
Ron O.
BEST BEST BEST!! I cant say enough about how wonderful Pete was. This past winter I had a civilian write me a ticket! even after the police decided they couldn’t tell who was at fault and DIDN’T write me a ticket. Anyway, I had to go to court and I was a wreck!! Pete was incredibly reassuring and patient with all my anxieties. He is a professional who knows what hes doing, In my opinion. My cousin is a lawyer and knows him and suggested him because he said, “Pete’s the best” and he is!
Cathy L. – Former Client
I cannot say enough about this man. I had the pleasure of meeting him a million years ago, him a lawyer, and me a bail bondsman, he has represented me on several matters over the 15 years I’ve known him INCLUDING a serious DUI matter in 2015 I was facing very serious chargers and license loss….that I am no longer ashamed to admit!
He is now and has been representing me & my family in the fight of my life…actual innocence…and he has gone above and beyond as usual, Pete O’Mara is the ONLY lawyer I will ever truly trust to explain all the details and be completely frank but at the same time so comforting. I cannot speak enough to his achievements, his moxie, and his desire to fight for you and for what’s right! A very rare gem in a sea of greedy deal making lawyers…
Lea G. – Former Client
Pete’s passion for his career takes him to levels of knowledge and abilities so far beyond GREAT at what he does. He is the type to not only succeed, but he has the ability to change history of the law and leave this world a legend! It’s obvious he has to be THE BEST at what he does and won’t stop until he is so far ahead of every possible failure, which can exist in his cases, prior to reading a discovery.
Im confident Pete can handle the worst possible discovery, with New challenges to face, because his experience, passion to learn, and daily growing knowledge is very clearly ahead of what most would even care to challenge or fight against, knowing Pete’s preparation and knowledge cannot be beat!
The O’Mara Law Firm has given me the faith needed in order to continue to work towards my goals & dreams, without the stress of future set backs. Pete went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with his abilities. With a very similar approach to present his knowledge ti his clients, it’s awesome to have similar ethical techniques working with you, as a team. I know Pete will work just as hard for me as I do for my clients.
Thank you for the encouragement I needed to hear and resume/case examples along with your phenomenal old school sales pitch, which I admired the most, and building a face to face trusting relationship to count on for a lifetime of success and positive views of overcoming anything you put your mind to!
