Divorce and Civil Litigation matters
Hired Brian for a divorce and now hiring him for a civil litigation matter. He is very honest and sets expectations fairly. Always have been satisfied with my dealings with him and team. Have recommended several of my friends to him already!
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. A brilliant, trustworthy and highly respected attorney in the legal community."
"I referred a domestic relations case to Brian not too long ago as the client lived in the Coweta County area. The client recently told me what a great job Brian did representing him through his divorce. He said Brian knew when to be aggressive, but also knew when to let up to promote settlement. I will definitely be referring other clients to Brian."
