Attorney Dennis M. O'Hara was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania and was admitted to the bar in that state. He received his B.A. in 1965 from Muhlenberg College and then attended Villanova University of Law. Villanova University of Law is the first church-related school to be awarded a chapter of the Order of the Coif. The Coif is the national honor society dedicated to high legal scholarship standards. O'Hara received his J.D. in 1968.

Attorney O'Hara has been admitted to practice law in three states, the main one being Florida, where he is now practicing law with Wicker, Smith, O'Hara, and McCoy & Ford P.A. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In June of 2008 the Firm had 8 lawyers named as Florida Super Lawyers, of whom Attorney Dennis O'Hara was one. He has been practicing in the field of Aviation since the 1970's and has handled several large cases for the firm including aviation disaster with the ValuJet crash in the Florida Everglades, May 11, 1996. O'Hara has also handled cases for the aircraft manufacturers such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and for owner/operators of aircraft in Florida.

Florida Super Lawyers awarded Attorney O'Hara in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Florida Super Lawyers is a great honor for any attorney and O'Hara has been on the list since 2006. How tough is it for Attorney Dennis O'Hara, or anyone to become a Super lawyer? This is the rigorous process used to determine the Super Lawyers: Attorney Dennis O'Hara was first nominated by his peers to be considered. Then O'Hara was lined up with the 12 indicators that Super Lawyers must match up to in the process. Here are the 12 indicators used to determine if O'Hara was to be a Super Lawyer finalist:
  • O'Hara's verdicts and settlements
  • O'Hara's transactions
  • Representative clients of Attorney O'Hara
  • O'Hara's experience
  • O'Hara's honors and awards
  • O'Hara's special licenses and certifications
  • O'Hara had to have a position within a law firm
  • O'Hara's bar and or other professional activity is considered
  • O'Hara's pro bono and community service as a lawyer
  • O'Hara's scholarly lectures and writings are included as part of the selection process
  • O'Hara's education and employment background
  • O'Hara's other outstanding achievements.
When Attorney Dennis O'Hara made it through the 12 steps to become a Super Lawyer and he then went on to the ''blue ribbon review'' to be categorized by area of practice. Finally the entire final lawyer list from the ''blue ribbon review'' is again separated between large law firms and solo practitioners or small firms. This way, only lawyers from large firms compete against other large law firms. Small firm candidates and sole practitioners compete with each other.

The last step of selection is naming the top 5% from each state. Attorney Dennis M. O'Hara made the top 5% in Florida and became a Super Lawyer nominated by his peers with a grueling list of successes to account for his career.
