O'Brien & Zehnder Law Firm
Client was rendered quadriplegic when he fell from a trellis while installing a gutter on defendant's personal residence. Client's employer was hired to install new gutters. Unbeknownst to Client, the trellis on which he was standing had significant dry rot. The trellis collapsed and Client fell approximately 11 feet to the ground below and fractured his spinal cord. Ordinarily, a homeowner has no liability for injuries to an independent contractor's employees when they are performing work for which they were hired. An exception to this rule is when the property owner fails to warn about a latent or concealed danger on the property. We argued that the dry rot fell into this exception. The case eventually resolved in 2019 for just under $4 million.

Sentiment Analysis
O’Brien: I would like to thank you for your help navigating me through the process of my wife’s personal injury claim.
They checked in with me periodically, answered all my questions and explained things I didn’t understand.
When I was in a bad car accident, which rendered the tendon in my knee torn, causing me to have to receive surgery, I was recommended to the law office of O'Brien and Zehnder.
He not only got my brother the settlement he deserved but was really caring from start to end, always made sure to keep us in the loop, and was not greedy at all!!!!!
His office, (Kelly is great by the way), contacted and helped communicate with my medical bills.
When I had lost hope and was ready to give up they kept working and at the end of it everything worked out.
God sent me Angels wearing blue 💙 may he send you lots more clients that have just as much patience love understanding as you guys do.
Because I was patient and allowed them to do their job, I received the best settlement possible.
He was quick to solve the case and jumping through hoops
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication, perseverance and commitment towards concluding my case.
