This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mike C.

If your looking for an attorney who actually cares about you and your freedom then look no further. Brian put forth such a heart felt argument that the judge not only reduced my sentence but commented in open court that he believed Brian respected me and genuinely cared about my case. I'm not one to ...leave a lot of reviews but I can't say enough about the quality of representation I received from this man. You can do no better than Brian when facing the federal government. Thank you so much Brian

Excellent Lawyer exceeded all expectations

Brian was great. He facilitated the legal process by giving concise and succinct answers to the plethora of legal questions that I bombarded on him. His knowledgeable answers calmed the waters for me significantly. His prompt responses to every document that opposing counsel hurled my way gave me pea...ce of mind knowing that I had made the right choice when I picked him to be my attorney. To the layman, he really knows his stuff. Put it this way, I'd feel confident with Brian even if I was being sued by any of the world's largest companies.

Federal crime lawyer | Nov 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Brian for several years, and I have opposed him in federal court on numerous occasions when he was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of Georiga. Brian has an amazing knowledge of federal criminal jurisprudence; he is always more than prepared (in and out of court); and has truly mastered that art of cross-examination. He is an asset to the federal criminal defense bar, and I look forward to working with him in the near future. I would highly recommend Brian without hesitation."

  • 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.
