Kevin J. O’Connor, Esq. is a Shareholder and Chair of the Business Litigation practice, as well as Vice Chair of the Labor & Employment practice, at Peckar & Abramson, a national law firm with headquarters in New Jersey.

Kevin is a United States Air Force veteran who served with distinction for six years in the Strategic Air Command and later graduated from law school with honors in 1995, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Rutgers Law Review. He went on to develop extensive experience as a trial attorney with a focus on employment disputes, business litigation, and construction law. Kevin has had extensive experience over his career representing physicians and health care providers in a variety of contexts, including initial work defending physicians in medical malpractice claims, and his later emphasis on employment defense work and partnership/corporate disputes. Kevin is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney, a distinction that is shared by only a small sliver of New Jersey barred attorneys who demonstrate an expertise in trial work and have extensive trial experience.

Kevin comes from a family with a long-history of HCM. He has struggled with symptoms since his time in the service which were diagnosed as a murmur, and long suspected that he shared the disease that afflicted his mother who underwent a myectomy with Dr. Maron’s team in 2015. Kevin was formally diagnosed with HOCM in 2021 at the age of 55, and underwent a myectomy at Morristown Medical Center in October 2022. Kevin looks forward to giving back to the HCM community in any way he can.
