Brian K Pearlstein

"In my opinion divorce is one of the lowest points in one's life, much like death. Faced with divorce, emotions are heightened, there is anger, resentment and the list goes on and one loses the ability to think clearly and rationally. The wrong attorney uses these emotions and feeds it to build bi...llable hours. The wrong attorney promises things that most often they know they can't deliver, again, just to build billable hours. At the end of last October my marriage started to unravel and suddenly within one weeks it came to an end. I was faced with having to hire an attorney. I always do lots of research before doing anything but time was not on my side. I studied the web, looked up many attorneys, read their bios, and read reviews as much as I could. I narrowed the field down to seven attorneys and tried to talk with them or to meet with them. Several of them never returned my call. I made an appointment with five. I had the good fortune to meet with Mr. Pearlstein as my second appointment and after leaving his office I cancelled all other appointments. He was and is amazing. He listened to me attentively, he never gave me false promises. What I really appreciated was that he did not take the position of let's fry the other side, and let's do this and that. As we worked together I began to realize just how fortunate I was. He knew exactly how to calm me down, how to communicate with the other side, he knew exactly what to do. He knows the law, what is the right thing to do and all along I knew that his most important focus was the best outcome for me and absolutely, definitely not building billable hours. I have developed such respect and appreciation for this man and I am so grateful for finding him. I am not much for writing reviews but if you are in the position of needing a family lawyer I would definitely say that he is in my opinion absolutely the best. During a divorce one stands to lose much with the wrong lawyer and to end up with an astronomical legal fee on top of the losses is not something that one recovers from. I believe that Mr. Pearlstein delivers the best outcome as he has done for me."

There is seriously NO ONE else I would want on my side of the table or courtroom than Mr. Pearlstein. Please do not mistake his demeanor as detached. I have no doubt he has been fully engaged throughout his service as my attorney. I respect his ethics and his conduct. He is not there to be my friend,... and that is how it should be. He does his job, and does it well with and unemotional sense of what is appropriate and what his client can handle. He will NOT push a client to do what he knows they cannot do. But he will advise them well on strategies for future consideration. You may have to give a little today, in order to come back later and fight harder when you CAN. THAT is what makes him outstanding.

Brian and his firm does excellent work. He has been very responsive and have been able to thoroughly answer my questions. When I walked into his office for our first meeting, I was completely frustrated and distraught. It's not easy to take being accused of something that you know is a complete and f...abricated lie for monetary gain. After talking with Brian I was completely relieved and at ease. He explained my situation from a legal standpoint and gave me enough information during our first meeting that enabled me to workout a strategy to protect myself. I would use him again and I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Pearlstein represented me in a difficult child support modification case. From the beginning he explained where I stood from a legal standpoint, counseled me with patience and understanding through the difficult phases of the case and in the end, negotiated a result that was better than I ever d...reamed! Mr. Pearlstein is the consummate professional. He always had my best interests in mind as well as my children and was willing to fight hard for me when I didn't think I had any fight left.. I always knew I could trust his advice (which is saying a lot as many people I know have changed divorce lawyers numerous times). I never for one second thought I was fighting this battle alone. And through it all, Mr. Pearlstein was able to stay objective for me when I wasn't. As far as family law lawyers go, Mr. Pearlstein is simply the best. I highly recommend him. I would never use anyone else.

I never, ever, imagined my marriage not being until death do us part. Yet, 5 months after sinking our life savings into the purchase of a new home and 2 months after my father tragically passed, my wife hit me with the unexpected news that she was leaving. The separation, and eventual divorce, took m...any turns (in terms of discoveries, emotions, etc.) that I am not going to go into here, but there was always one constant, one stabilizing force through it all - my legal representation. From Day 1, Kristina and Mr. Pearlstein allowed me to vent when I needed to; helped me focus when I needed to; and provided me with an intangible feeling of comfort - because while the rest of my world was crashing I knew they had my best interest at heart and sincerely wanted to help me get through the divorce and on with my life. The legal advice was superb and they were flexible and focused on achieving the outcomes I needed and wanted. I hope to never go through a divorce again, but if I do - or if any of my friends do - there is no doubt who I will seek to represent me.
