A Great Experience & A Great Lawyer!

When we brought our case to Brian, we had no idea that we'd end up working with a such a spectacular Lawyer. From day one, Brian was on top of every aspect of our case. Some great qualities that stood out to us were his level of detailed knowledge on every aspect of our concerns, his friendly way of ...explaining how the law applies to a particular scenario and most of all, his timely communication. Brian's responsiveness went above and beyond excellent. Every time one of us had a question and sent him an email, in a matter of minutes, we'd get a thorough response back. Even if it was late at night or on a weekend. This really showed the three of us that he cared about our comfort. What was great was that he explained similar restaurant cases to us and as we were going through ours, we began to see how certain things related. We got a better understanding of how employment law works. It's nice to be a waiter and have a grasp of something so important. Also, during the course of our case, we were never left in the dark. We were always kept informed of what was going on, or if anything changed. If we had a specific timeline of events and stages the case was going through, he made sure to let us know. The most striking part of working with him was his want to help people that do not have the means or knowledge necessary to help themselves. Brian and the Firm (Fitapelli & Schaffer) clearly have the good will to stand up for the people that have the odds stacked up against them. Thank you for being there for us!
