Awesome! Hire him for pushing back against debt collectors. You will not regret it!

Super Attorney. Used for debt collection and he had the counter claim filed within 24 hours of speaking with him and the case closed within 10 days! The debt collectors received $0! Impressed. He delivers on his promises and I could not have hired a better attorney to handle this. I'd give him 1...0 stars if I could!

Simply The Best!!!

I didn't know that I was being sued. The only way that I knew was when I went to collect my mail from the post office, which I don't check that often. Like once a month. I had about 15 solicitations from attorneys. I mean the were really fancy looking too. Except for one particular envelope. It was M...r. Hamlin's. I opened it and read it. I immediately thought to myself, " Oh yeah, this is a scam. " It said Guaranteed to win. So off to the shred pile it went, along with the other "junk mail." Upon further investigation of the matter, I discovered that I was being sued for more than 4k in small claims court. I immediately retrieved all of the supposed "junk mail" and I started to read them. They were 13 of them, all from different attorneys and it was wild man. Prices ranged from 8k to 2k. So I went back to the very first letter that I had read. It said $500 Guaranteed. Bryan J. Hamlin. I did my due diligence and I was blown away! This guy was the Superman of attorneys! No exaggeration! I called and left a detailed message on a Friday evening. I forgot to mention that this happened at Thanksgiving. They promptly returned my call on Monday and the women said that they needed to be contacted two weeks before the court date to take the case. My hearing was one week away. I explained that I just found out about the lawsuit a few days prior and that I hadn't been served a subpoena. She told me to hold on so she could make Mr. Hamlin aware of the situation and he agreed to take my case on short notice. I paid him $500 on Thanksgiving morning and he immediately filed a notice of appearance that same morning! I'm like, " wow, who does that?" File paperwork on Thanksgiving! Long story short, case dismissed with prejudice. It's also going to removed from my credit report. Win win! If you're looking for an top notch attorney, look no further.

Excellent Attorney

I'm still in disbelief how quickly Bryan got my case dismissed without having to appear in court or pay the debt collector a penny. He was able to explain to me my rights, my options and the possible outcome without making false promises which put my mind at ease. Kept ongoing communication througho...ut the process. He is highly skilled, a true subject matter expert and was able to handle my case professionally and FAST. I hope I'm never put in this situation again, but If I were, I would definitely hire his services again. Highly recommend him. Hands down best attorney I've ever dealt with, pleasant experience.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Hamlin represented me in a very important case. His knowledge and expertise is above reproach. He had my case dismissed and I didn't have to pay anything. He is extremely thorough and upfront, no surprises with him. You know everything upfront. I HIGHLY recommend him. I will use him in the fut...ure for ANY legal matters. Use him, and you will NEVER be sorry you did.

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.
