True Professional

I was blindsided and lost when my wife filed for divorce. Brian was extremely knowledgeable and guided me through the entire process while staying in communication the entire way. He is a straight shooter and knows what he's doing. He made sure I was treated fairly and fought for me and my family.... I can't explain how much everything he did is appreciated. Thank you Brian!

Untying the Knot

Brian Welsh was highly recommended to me by lawyers in other fields. I entered his preliminary conference with much trepidation. He instantly put my mind at rest, listened intently to what I had to say and understood from day one that I did not wish to punish my partner. Our conferences and phon...e calls throughout the following months were cheerful and professional. I was given good advice, told what was going to be possible and, in a gentle way, told what could not be achieved. The speed with which he dealt with my instructions and passed them on was sometimes alarming but the entire process of my divorce was very much quicker than I had anticipated and I am still friends with my ex-wife. I can and will thoroughly recommend Brian to any of my friends and colleagues as an honest, extremely competent and knowledgeable professional.

Job Well Done!

I came to Mr. Welsh after first consulting with another matrimonial lawyer who bailed after the case became contested. I chose him upon the advise of several others in the legal realm. I was not disappointed. Knowledgeable, efficient and honest he quickly calmed my frazzled nerves. He kept me in...formed of every step he took (correspondence, meetings, etc.) and always was available to answer my questions. We sailed to 'victory' (if that is possible in a matrimonial affair). He is, what I understand, more expensive than others -- but I will never regret a cent I spent. Well worth the price. He has my highest recommendation and would encourage anyone with matrimonial issues to use his services

Excellent Representation

Brian helped me dispense a lawsuit that was brought on by a result of an incompetent attorney whom handled my original divorce many years ago. Due to Brian's diligent research of case law and being prepared for litigation, the case against me was dismissed the first time we were in front of the judge.... He always answered every question, call, or email promptly and thoroughly. Brian and Diane were very supportive and understanding, I felt like they handled my case on a personal level. Brian's fees were not the cheapest out there however, you get what you pay for and you don't want to cheap out on an attorney.......I found out the hard way!!! Many thanks again Brian.

Perfect Representation

Brian was amazing. I had my divorce handled previously by a different lawyer who looking back had zero interest in helping me at that time, or looking out for my young child's best interests and only wanted money. So, to my pleasant surprise when I approached Brian (who was referred to me by a close ...family friend who raved about him) he was very helpful. He was ALWAYS quick to respond or answer any questions I had, and even give me advice on how to handle certain situations. He definitely went above and beyond his job description to not only get the best result for me but took care of my son's needs as well. He is very thorough and explains everything so there are no surprises which made me feel more comfortable in such an uncomfortable setting. He was not only easy to work with but someone anyone can get along with. I wish I would have had him from the start and I never would have had to go back to court. Brian represented my son and I perfectly.
