Absolutely wonderful person.

I couldn't use him because he doesn't cover my kind of case, but he was willing to give me the name of someone who might. He was the only one out of about 10 lawyers i called that would even listen to me. Thanks so much.

Our go to lawyer

Brian is an outstanding attorney. Whether he is reviewing an existing contract for us or writing a new one his attention to detail makes a huge difference to the final outcome. He is also a fantastic negotiator and his business background has proven invaluable when we found ourselves in a legal disp...ute.

Business lawyer | Mar 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Brian Pastor is an exceptional business lawyer. He is extremely skilled in helping clients navigate difficult and challenging business situations. He has a unique ability to anticipate potential pitfalls and unforeseen problems and draft agreements to proactively address them. When problems arise, he is very adept at resolving them favorably. Not only does Brian have an impressive command of the law, but he marries that with a keen, practical business sense to solve difficult problems, not compound them. I'd be hard-pressed to think of anyone I'd rather have drafting a complex business agreement for me or representing me in tough litigation. Brian truly invests himself in his work, and he consistently and predictably gets great results for his clients. He is very personable, but he's also aggressive and extremely results-oriented. I recommend Brian highly and with great confidence and enthusiasm."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
