Brian Decker is an excellent attorney

We contacted Mr. Decker to represent us when we were faced with a custody dispute. Brian was very reassuring throughout the many months that it took to resolve the issue. He promptly answered emails, texts, and phone calls. In court, he was professional, calm and effective. He will be our attorney if... we ever have the need again

Exceptional, Outstanding, Superb Lawyer

I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding work that Mr. Decker has done as it was invaluable to me. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Decker for over 3 years involving a custody situation. He is an outstanding attorney and is very professional. He was p...rompt, knowledgeable and handled my case with uppermost concern and proficiency. He was very kind, caring and an excellent listener. If you are looking for someone who is looking towards your best interest and is willing to actually listen to your needs and concerns during a difficult situation, he is the right attorney for you. He always returned my calls/emails promptly and he went above and beyond to keep me informed every step of the way. You can count on his knowledge, diligence and experience to get the best results. I would highly recommend Mr. Decker to represent you as an attorney.

Amazing Attorney x2 !!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Decker both personally and professionally for over 5 years. Brian Decker worked with me 4 years ago regarding my youngest son and a difficult custody situation that we were facing. He was able to successfully work through a protective order and custody case with... ease and professionalism. He placed my son’s safety and welfare as a priority at all times. Mr. Decker was always very helpful and informative with me about the process and I really leaned on him during this difficult time. He ALWAYS returned my calls/emails and made me feel that he truly cared about what he was doing (this is a rare thing!) He was my son’s “hero,” putting his needs first and truly did amazing things for us in the courtroom. I have recommended him to anyone who is going through a custody situation. … This year I had an unexpected and unusual situation with a child I decided to get custody of through the state. The situation was uncommon and it was extremely difficult to work with all the players involved. Mr. Decker (again) walked me through the process with knowledge, encouragement and professionalism. He helped move mountains and was again a hero to my newest “son.” I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Decker and all that he has done for my family!!

Happy Client

I have worked with Mr. Decker for the past couple of years on a child custody case. He is highly professional, honest, logical, prompt in response and just an overall good person. He worked diligently throughout the process and I could not have had a better person represent my family. He is a great a...sset to his profession.

All around, an excellent lawyer.

Brian handled my custody petition with professionalism and studious attention to all aspects of my case. I can't thank him enough for keeping me on track and focused on the tasks involved. I truly felt like I had someone dedicated to helping me through a difficult situation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
