Fake ID case

I hired Brian to help deal with a fake ID case. His price was very reasonable and he negotiated the best outcome possible. Very communicative and informative throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him

Amazing

Brian was an amazing lawyer who is completely straight forward about what exactly could happen with the prosecutor. The amount of effort he put into my case was outstanding and we got the full case dismissed. I highly recommend Brian to anyone who has a case in Ocean City.
