Brian Mitchell Hirsch

I've had the opportunity to work with Brian over the last eight years. I am very grateful for the skillful way he has helped me through a number of difficult experiences. I originally met Brian in 2006 when I chose him to represent me during my divorce. Brian helped me negotiate everything and se...ttle all of the financial and custodial arrangements out of court, which I really appreciated. Only several years later, after things (unfortunately) turned contentious, did I learn what an effective lawyer Brian is inside the courtroom as well. Brian is a levelheaded and even-tempered attorney. He stays calm even in highly-emotional situations, and never behaves in a mean or vindictive way. Brian has the respect of other attorneys and judges alike, and this goes along way toward establishing credibility and being able to come up with the right decision or solution. Brian has consistently given me good advice about not only legal strategy, but also how to handle problematic situations with my children and ex-wife. I can honestly say that I've never regretted following his advice. (In fact, had I followed Brian's advice on a decision I made four years ago, I could have saved myself a lot of grief and hassle.) One big thing that I underestimated initially was the value of a good litigator. It's hard to know how a lawyer will perform in court until you have had the chance to observe him in that setting. Having had Brian represent me in a number of hearings now—and prevailing every time—I can confidently say that he is one of the best in the courtroom. Going to court is always a stressful experience, but it is much less so when you have confidence in your lawyer. Brian maintains a calm, measured demeanor, and is consistently articulate and credible. His arguments are very effective and he always presents my position well. Above all, I appreciate what a genuinely good person Brian is. It is clear that he cares about me and my family, and his principal motivation seems to be to help us in the best way that he can. No lawyer is perfect, but Brian has those qualities that I consider to be most important. I value his experience, his wisdom, his excellent litigation skills, and his goodness and decency.

I had a very difficult divorce and Mr. Hirsch was level-headed when emotions got the best of both parties. He was upfront about what was likely to happen in court vs mediation and tried the least hostile avenues whenever possible. He also was conscientious about keeping costs down, realizing how fin...ancially draining the entire process can be on someone.

Mr. Hirsch was the consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable and ethical in my divorce / child support case. He diffused the emotions, so we could quickly get through the difficulties associated with these sorts of cases. He's been my family lawyer for about 12 years and I'm extremely gratefu...l for his guidance and expertise. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a reasonable and expert divorce attorney.

From the first day I met with Brian, he was honest, straighforward, and put things in terms that I could understand. In my particular case, my divorce was relatively simple, and Brian did an excellent job doing only what was absolutely necessary and keeping the total fees to a minimum. Additional...ly, when I emailed with any questions or requests, Brian responded quickly and accurately. Also, throughout the process, it was obvious to me that Brian had a diverse and deep experience base.
