About Brian
Biography
I graduated summa cum laude, the highest academic distinction, from Georgia State University College of Law. While at Georgia State, I was a member of the Student Trial Lawyers Association and the Georgia State Law Review.
Upon graduation, I was named to the Order of the Coif (for exceptional academic performance) and to the Order of Barristers (for exceptional oral advocacy), making me one of only four Georgia State Law students to ever receive both honors.
My practice has focused primarily on medical malpractice and wrongful death, and I am admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, as well as all other trial and appellate courts in the State of Georgia and the Northern District of Georgia federal court.

Thorough and not afraid of a challenge
Brian examines each case he gets with detail and ensures that EVERY “i” is dotted and “t” crossed before a demand letter is sent. I know that when I refer a case to him, the client will be in a better place than before meeting Brian. I always recommend Brian whenever a medical malpractice issue comes...
