Familiar court commissioner

I am writing to formally express my serious concerns regarding the domestic abuse restraining order hearing held today, August 18, in which my pregnant girlfriend and I were the petitioners.During the hearing, we felt extremely rushed and experienced a distinct bias toward the respondent. I was not a...ble to read even a full paragraph from my statement, nor was I given the opportunity to present the video evidence I had prepared. Ultimately, the restraining order was denied due to a "lack of evidence," despite the fact that our evidence was withheld from the court. Brian made his decision solely based on the respondent’s statement with no evidence. Brians conduct during the proceeding was extremely aggressive and unprofessional.

Family court

Had court with him today. I felt ganged up on and he kept cutting me off. He didnt want to listen to a word I had to say and anything and everything I said he always had a snappy comment. made me cry.

Brian is at the top of his specialty!!! AAAAA+

I hired Brian for post divorce problems with my ex, specifically my ex denying placement and attempting to alienate our daughter. Brian is compassionate, proficient, extremely knowledgeable, well versed, and aggressive. He will stand up for you. I've had numerous well known attorneys during m...y lengthy divorce. None even remotely compared to Brian's ability and results. His courtroom/trial capability and performance are stellar and at the top of his profession. He honestly doesn't miss a beat in court and his tenacity is incredible! I could not be happier. I would highly and strongly recommend Brian in the most complicated and conflicting divorce case. He is the best. His communication skills are excellent. He is on top of all the details. He is worth every penny!!!

Plus we didn't know anything moving forward until the last minute! I was also scolded like a child for coming into his office without a appoi...ntment! We were threated like children .
