Made me feel so comfortable AND entitled!!!!

I had reached out to Brian, scared to death and not knowing what I was getting myself into but I really had no choice. I put everything into his hands and he treated me and everything I turned over to him with the utmost care. My time was valuable to him as well and he was the absolute most experie...nced, knowledgeable, and prepared attorney I have ever met. We sat in the courtroom watching one person after another get turned away for one reason or another, lack of information, or something incomplete or what have you. Brian made sure every "i" was dotted, every "t" was crossed BEFORE we ever even got that far. He anticipated every single move, by his experience, his research and his homework. You are not just another person to him, you are a human being. He makes you feel comfortable and not stupid for needing help. I have recently reached out to him yet again for another situation, and I wouldn't do that if I didn't have the most absolute faith in him! You wont be disappointed!!!!

Bankruptcy

My husband and I were in an extremely difficult situation. He could not work any longer due to a medical condition, and we were unable to maintain ourselves financially. We met with Brian and he explained the bankruptcy process very thoroughly and in such a way that we knew he would guide us through ...this stressful situation with kindness and competence. We were not disappointed at all. We are very grateful to Brian and Barbara for helping us get the fresh start we needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

Wonderful Service!

Both Brian & his lovely paralegal Barb, helped me through this stressful time with confidence & professionalism. They both helped me feel at ease, & assured me this wasn't something I needed to be ashamed of. Everything was explained clearly, & both were always available to assure me that all would ...be well, or address any concerns I may have had. From the first time speaking with Brian, I knew I need not look any further for a lawyer; I found him! I would highly recommend this winning team to anyone facing bankruptcy.

Fresh Start

I hired Brian to file my Bankruptcy. I had lost my job and within 6 months my husband also lost his job. I was scared and didn't know alot about Bankruptcy. Brian explained everything thing to me in away I would understand and made me feel so much better. It took about 2months from start to finis...h which he had told me that. I could not be more thankful to Brian and his wife Barbara who works with him for giving me the fresh start I needed.

Felt like a fool

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He asks $3,000 for bankruptcy. He researched for three months to tell me not to file and then had the nerve to tell me he DIDN:T HAVE ANY OF THE RESEARCH to show me about why should I not file?!!! I got nothing for my money. I was made to feel like a fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I c...ontacted another lawyer to ask why I was told to not file. Not only did that attorney answer but also formed an argument for O'Sullivan that he could not deny. O'Sullivan had said in his letter to me that "(I) would not understand the legal terminology "if (I )did have the research to look at. How insulting.

Replied last December 01, 2014

This client was promptly given a full refund after I determined that putting her into Bankruptcy would jeopardize her receiving her husband's pension. I researched the case thoroughly, for numerous hours and even spoke to the Court Trustee, who is the final authority, who agreed with my analysis and also advised me not to represent her. She became enraged when told this, and demanded to know each and every resource, every book , every article I studied so that she could decide on her own, whether or not she should file. She wanted to "micro manage" me, critique me and tell me what to do and how to practice law. I have been a Bankruptcy attorney for more than 23 years and have done thousands of cases. In all that time I have never received a complaint nor have I ever had an unhappy client until this lady. Her statement that she paid $3,000 and received nothing is false. She not only received all of her money back but received numerous hours with me personally explaining the Bankruptcy law and why it would not be to her advantage to file. A reasonable person would be happy that an attorney would attempt to protect them from making a very costly mistake, particularly one, who after spending hours on her case, gave her ALL of the money back. She, however, seems to be one of these people who cannot be satisfied and feels that she knows better than others. I am sorry she is unhapppy but I cannot let her damaging and incorrect statements go unchallenged.
