A Force for Justice in Civil and Employee Rights
O’Brien Coleman & Wright, LLC is a premier law firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dedicated to defending the constitutional rights of citizens and protecting employees from injustice. With a legacy of legal advocacy stretching back decades, the firm was re-established in 2022, building on the foundation of The Law Offices of Timothy P. O’Brien, which began fighting for clients in 1975. We provide compassionate, experienced, and tenacious representation in complex civil rights and employment law cases. Our mission is to be a powerful voice for those who have been wronged by government misconduct or abusive employers. We understand the challenges our clients face and are committed to fighting for the justice they deserve.
Core Practice Areas
Our firm concentrates on two critical areas of law where individuals often face powerful opponents. We have a proven track record of landmark cases and significant verdicts, demonstrating our capability to take on and win the toughest fights.
Employment and Labor Lawyers
We believe that every employee deserves a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. Our attorneys are fierce advocates for workers’ rights and have secured millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients. We handle a wide range of employment-related issues, including:
- Wrongful Termination Lawyers: Fighting for employees who have been illegally fired from their jobs.
- Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: Representing individuals who have faced discrimination based on age, race, sex, gender identity, pregnancy, or disability.
- Harassment Lawyers: Taking action against employers who allow hostile work environments and harassment to persist.
- Retaliation and FMLA Violations: Protecting employees who have been punished for exercising their legal rights.
Civil Rights Litigation (Criminal Defense Lawyers)
When the government abuses its power, we fight back. Our civil rights practice is one of the most respected in Western Pennsylvania, holding government officials and law enforcement accountable for their actions. Our work in this area ensures that the constitutional rights of all citizens are upheld. Key areas we cover include:
- Police Misconduct: Representing victims of excessive force, deadly force, false arrest, and malicious prosecution.
- Unlawful Search and Seizure: Challenging illegal searches of homes, vehicles, and persons by law enforcement.
- Prisoner’s Rights: Advocating for the constitutional rights of inmates, including cases of abuse, inadequate medical care, and poor prison conditions.
