Extremely generous with his time and knowledge

Brian gave me soooooo much info and spent ALOT of time on free consultation with me giving me an HONEST assessment of my case instead of milking me on the clock and having me spending hundreds of thousands to chase a case that would a slim chance of success

Outstanding

I wish I'd found MacElree Harvey sooner. We hired an attorney from Philadelphia for a border dispute that was heading to arbitration. This initial lawyer was overconfident, dismissive of our questions and slow to respond. We did extensive research and then reached out to MacElree Harvey for a 2nd ...opinion consultation. From our very first interaction with this firm, we were impressed. Our phone call was answered by a live person, Executive Assistant Cheryl McVicker, who was fantastic. She listened to our story, gathered all of our information, promised to get back to us promptly and kept her word. Within a short time, we got a call from Matt McKeon. During the first 30-minute phone call with Matt, he provided an extensive amount of helpful information. In response to additional questions, he did prompt and thorough research and answered right away via email. For the first time in almost 2 years, we felt that we understood our case. Matt then brought in a colleague, Brian Forgue, to address certain aspects of the case. Brian's expertise and attentiveness to our case was similarly impressive. He is incredibly knowledgeable, a straight shooter and answered every one of my many questions with thoroughness, empathy and no sign of impatience. Just a great experience. We highly recommend Matt, Brian and the entire MacElree Harvey staff!

Exactly what w needed

Our company was dealing with a very difficult client and we needed expert legal assistance to navigate the challenges we faced. Brian was referred to us after we were underwhelmed by our initial attorney. Brian and his firm where professional, fair and provided exceptional service. He helped us navig...ate through a difficult case and we were pleased with the result. From learning/conveying the specifics of the case to timely followups and helping us understand what to expect, Brian exceeded our expectations. I can recommend Brian Forgue most highly and without reservation. We will be using him again for future needs.

Excellent Lawyer

Brian did a great job representing our company. We had a unique case with some very grey areas involving privacy in today's ever changing market. Brian was very thorough in his preparation and filings and he took the time to listen to come up with a strategy that best suited us.

Brian Forgue review

Great communication and compassionate correspondence. Never had to have a face to face conversation because of his ability to communicate so well. If I ever needed attorney services again, I would definitely use Brian again.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
