Prompt and to the point

I was negligently charged with a criminal misdemeanor. I contacted Brian Jordan because I heard that he is a top 40 lawyer under 40 (and recently he achieved rank as a "Super Lawyer.") Brian gives things to you straight. He is honest, and extremely prompt - especially through emails. He informs y...ou of all the possible outcomes: best case, so-so case, and worst case. Brian was in contact with us the entire time. He listened to us, supported us in the direction we chose to go, but he never mislead us or gave us false hope. He was very honest which proved to be his best trait, which prepared us for whatever could come. Brian gave me tips on how to apply for probation once we decided that that was the route to go rather than fighting it in court, which would have achieved the same result of probation (charges expunged) had I won the case (charges dismissed). It was a no-brainer to just take some probation rather than drag out the ordeal in court. Brian has the savvy to achieve the best results. His straightforward approach is something that keeps you clear-eyed as to how the criminal system works and what your options are. Brian stood by us the entire time. I felt like he supported us and would not let us down. I highly recommend him.

THE BEST

Brian Jordan was my attorney in a case where I was being accused of distributing an incredible amount of drugs and I was fully acquitted at trial. Mr. Jordan was very great as my attorney. He was very precise and prepared. He spent time on every detail and questioned EVERYTHING in my defense. He was ...a great lawyer and I highly recommended him. Other lawyers would not have done so much. After so many long months through the grace of God I was finally acquitted of all charges. I'm truly grateful for his experience. Thank you Mr. Jordan!!!

Extremely Pleased with Courts Decision

I am providing a review of the services that I received from Attorney Brian Christopher Jordan and his office staff. I will not mention the details of my legal case but can provide an honest opinion of how I felt it was handled by Mr. Jordan's office. When I initially reached out to Mr. Jor...dan, he was not available but the office staff kindly took my contact information and told me that he would call later that day. A few hours later Mr. Jordan called me and we discussed my situation. He was very knowledgeable in the legal area at hand and he very quickly instilled in me the confidence that he was the right attorney for my case. We spent a very good 20 minutes on the phone and not once did Mr. Jordan try to hurry me off. He intently listened to everything that I said then very clearly explained the legal process that lie ahead. I knew at this point that he was the attorney that I wanted for my case and I contracted with him to represent me. During the entire legal process, Mr. Jordan kept me completely updated with things as they progressed and he provided me with clear instructions when it was necessary for me to complete paperwork, attend hearings, etc. I was very impressed with his knowledge of how he felt things would progress with my case and how accurate he was when it really came down to it in the court room. I have no doubts that because of the way Mr. Jordan prepared and then presented my case to the judge, we received an extremely good determination. I could not be happier with the courts decision and the final outcome of my case. For that I am extremely grateful to Mr. Jordan and his thorough office staff. When necessary, I will confidently contract with him again in the future. Best Regards, Bruce

DUI Client

I would highly recommend Brian Jordan to anybody in need of high quality legal services. Brian assisted me with a DUI and kept me informed every step of the way. His response times were impeccable and I was never in doubt of where I stood throughout the entire process. Even after the case was reso...lved Brian was always willing to assist with any further questions I had about my record and where I may/may not run into issues traveling. He never steered me in the wrong direction and I was very fortunate to have found Brian.

Outstanding Attorney, Responsive service

Brian assisted us with an open container summary offense my daughter received at college. I found Brian online through reviews and recommendations of others. I was very glad I did. We hired Brian to represent our daughter and to have the offense expunged. Brian was very responsive. He walked us thr...ough the process and kept us well informed along the way. He's very thorough, detailed and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Brian for your legal needs!
