So sad to hear this. Tom was an outstanding lawyer and a true gentleman. He was a very effective advocate without being personally disagreeable. His knowledge of the law and procedure combined with his always smooth comportment made him a special talent and a special person. Rest in peace, Tom.

Brendan, May God bless and comfort you and your family in this time of sorrow. Praying for you all. Peace be with you. Dee Dee

One of the very best workers´ compensation lawyers in Massachusetts and such a friendly and collegial guy as well. He was top notch! May his memory be a blessing.

Tom and I started our practice in Worker´s Comp. at the same point in 1973. I had scores of cases with Tom over the years as I did a lot of Longshoremen´s cases and handle asbestos claims. I had dozens of cases with Tom over the years, and without a doubt, he was one of the finest defense lawyers I ever met. Moreover, he was one of the finest gentlemen, I ever met at the Worker´s Compensation bar. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, old friend. Bill Troupe.

For many years I have recommended to attorneys that to learn how to conduct an effective cross-examination they should sit in on one conducted by Tom. It was always a pleasure to have him in my courtroom and to admire his skills. He was the consummate attorney and gentleman.

To Norma and the entire Ouellet Family...my deepest condolences on the passing of Tom. He was just a joy to be around. Much love... Andy, Cathleen, Jack and Gabrielle Miller

Attorney O´Reilly was a wonderful person. I enjoy working with him several years. He was one of the best Workers´ Compensation attorneys. I loved his quick wit. Till we meet again my friend.
