BEST Lawyer Around

Hired Brian to represent me in my case. He was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. I probably said a total of 10 words throughout the whole process which ended up being roughly 5 court hearing over a year. Ended up receiving a minor ticket compared to an outcome that would’ve effected ...my career and life. He was always honest, respectful, and extremely helpful. Couldn’t have been more appreciative that he was on my side. His secretary/assistant was also very honest and respectful throughout the whole process. Couldn’t be happier with the end result and would recommend him to anyone!

Greatest attorney

I was recently arrested for a dwi in Sussex County. If convicted, this would have counted as my third dwi within 10 years and would have faced 6 months in jail and a 10 year suspension. I was recommended to Mr. Mason by a different attorney and boy am I happy to have hired him. Mr. Mason reviewed ...my prior dwi's and advised me that my second one was not appropriately handled by my previous attorney and that my previous attorney had been disbarred by the courts. Mr. Mason and his staff fought hard for me and were able to have my current dwi stepped down to a first offender status, saving me from jail time and a 10 year license suspension. He absolutely saved my life and I would recommend him to anyone that asks. You get what you pay for and his representation was not cheap, but worth every penny. THANK YOU, BRIAN!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
