Highly recommend!!

Brian helped my husband when he had a driving with a suspended license charge and was facing potential jail time. We really appreciated his calm demeanor and approach to the case... He made us feel very at ease and handled everything so that at the end of the day all we had was a small fine and no points on my husbands license!!

Got the job done

I used Brian in a consulting capacity. I had questions on a citation my son received in Somerset Co and Brian was very helpful in providing me a list of questions to ask and some strategies to use in hearing before magistrate.

All Star Attorney

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with Brian was. He worked very hard to make sure I had winning results. I could not have asked for better services. From the moment I first called until my case was over, I was at ease that I has made the right choice. Thank you again Brian McDermott!

Professional, very knowledgeable, and a shrewd negotiator

Mr. McDermott delivers his vast knowledge of Pennsylvania laws in a very professional manner. Above all, he uses a personable approach to his practice by listening to his client, tapping into a wealth of resources to mount his case, and executes his arguments with undivided focus, maintaining an honorable demeanor throughout. It is quite obvious why he has become a rising star in the Pittsburgh area. He is always available to contact, and very determined to provide his client with a winning outcome. I see his firm being within the upper eschelon of practices within the next 5 years at the rate they are going. Highly recommended.
