Dependable, reliable, knowledgeable,

Brian handled my closings as well as setting up my will. He kept me informed at all times and willing responded to my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Legal guidance

Brian over the past few years has provided me with sound legal advice in a variety of different situations. I have relied on his expertise to make good business decisions in regards to my dealings with partners, non paying clients and various other issues. Unlike some other legal beagles that I hav...e dealt with over the years Brian will not make something out of nothing. He has also given me advice that allowed me to address the issue in a different way, which allowed for a better outcome for all concerned. Obviously, I highly recommend that you retain Brian, if the need arises.

Brian Schwartz

Brian was extremely patient with my daughter and most importantly with me. My daughter was 12 when she was hit by a car. I was referred to Brian by a family friend. Thru these three years between the beginning stages and finally a resolution to my daughters case,Brian, has been very careful to not pr...essure my daughter and basically put her at ease with the process of retelling her story as much as she was able too. While I worked nights I on occasion missed or just forgot to keep some appointments with doctors and so on, so he was also very patient with me. My family would like to thank Brian and the entire staff for a job extremely well done. Thank you

Knowledgeable, approachable and efficient

My husband and I worked with Brian and his wonderful assistant, Suzanne, on our first home purchase. Brian was so patient walking us through the steps and keeping us informed throughout the process. He always had our best interests in mind and was great at advocating on our behalf with the seller's... attorney. Brian is an absolute pro at real estate transactions and we would highly recommend him.

  • 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.
