Disappointed
One star says it all.. never did anything he was originally hired for, poor to zero communication, nevwr responded to an email of my questions regarding my settlement which I provided for him and he charged me for reading it.. used 2/3s of my retainer. Should have fired him sooner

"I highly recommend Brian for all matters dealing with Corporate governance and litigation. As a bankruptcy practitioner when a buy/sell of a partners interest came across my desk I never hesitated to recommend Brian. Not only does he display the utmost integrity and professionalism he achieves superior results due to his ability to focus on the important issues and how they relate to the best interests of his clients. His track record and my comfort level referring clients to him makes Brian the only corporate attorney I consider."
