Litigation and collection on contract matter in Florida

I was acting as attorney for Telrite Corporation, we needed a Florida licensed attorney to handle a breach of contract in Floirda. Brian was excellent. He took care of the case quickly and got us the full amount demanded in the verdict. Collections are proving difficult, Brian already got 1 garnish...ment. He was informative, plainspoken and very aggressive in his representation.

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.
