Thorough communicator

My husband and I had very complicated bankruptcy issues. We were in the process of interviewing bankruptcy attorneys when we came across Adam Brief. At our first meeting, we were immediately impressed with how carefully he listened to our issues and how thoughtful his responses were. We hired him, ...and he exceeded our expectations on every level. There were different approaches that needed to be explored, and while at first blush some seemed appropriate, Adam made sure to thoroughly research and recommend actions. The process took a long time and he never ceased to work tirelessly on our behalf. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is an excellent communicator, answered all our many questions quickly and in detail, and kept us informed at every step.

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.
