My review of Mr. 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."

Experienced Representation

Before meeting Brian, I interviewed a few firms for this case. When I spoke with him, he came across as highly knowledgeable, creative and practical in this area of the law. This proved true in practice where Brian consistently proved his expertise and knowledge in this field. Needless to say, if you... find yourself in a situation where you require Brian's services - it's not going to be the most pleasant time in your life. The decision as to who you hire to represent you will make a big impact on the outcome and your experience. Partnering with the type of talent Brian brings to the table will be one of the better decisions you can make.

God helped me through my lawyers

I am from India. I did not know anything about US law system. My daughter is a US citizen. I was represented by Mr Brian Pearlstein and Ms Maureen Renehan- Brodsky, Renehan, Pearlstein & Bouquet chartered. My case was very complicated- custody battle for my daughter which was going on for 5 years. W...hen my brother first suggested Mr Pearlstein to me, I was very apprehensive if anybody would really understand my situation . Not only did Mr Pearlstein and Maureen understand what was going on they made sure that everybody in the court room did. As I was in India, I went to US only for the trial which was 12 months later after the case was first filed in the court. They had to cross many hurdles even before the trail without my presence in the court. They were always prompt with answering all my questions and concerns, supported me emotionally and were always there for me. He was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours. I cannot thank them enough. Mr Pearstein was brilliant and outstanding in the court. In the courtroom he is incredibly prepared and organised. His advice and guidance, I believe, helped shape my case into a much stronger one. I appreciate all the efforts they put into my case and helped me get the custody of my daughter. They are a great team and you would be very fortunate to have them represent you!

Simply Amazing

Brian Pearlstein (BRP Family Law) earned my highest possible recommendation by clearly out-performing the stellar reputation that preceded him. He was nothing short of spectacular from every aspect imaginable. The whole matter was handled with the utmost class, professionalism and sensitivity. Bri...an devised a comprehensive winning strategy, was always very well prepared, and executed flawlessly. This all resulted in a tremendous outcome for my children and me, while minimizing billing throughout the process. I could not have been more pleased with Brian, his staff, and the result!

Review of Brian Pearlstein

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.
