John O'Hara

Expert guidance through a complex regulatory compliance issue

I engaged John O'Hara at Alston & Bird to assist my small business with a challenging compliance matter before a New York state regulatory agency. While his profile indicates a focus on Administrative and Regulatory Law, his practical knowledge in this niche was immediately evident. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the procedural intricacies and helped us navigate a dense thicket of rules that felt overwhelming. His recognition in this specific field is well-deserved, as his strategic approach was both thorough and pragmatic. John successfully guided us to a favorable resolution that avoided costly penalties and allowed our operations to continue smoothly. The one area where I noted a slight delay was in email correspondence during the initial fact-finding phase; responses sometimes took a full business day. However, once engaged on the substantive work, his communication was consistent and his advice was invaluable. For any business facing regulatory scrutiny in New York, John provides a confident and knowledgeable hand.
