Gina

Brian obtained the best legal outcomes not once but twice. He is the lawyer you need to hire because not only is he professional and knows the justice system but Brian is accessible; he calls, texts and emails you back. I appreciated his candor and the patience he had with us. Brian kept us informed ...every step of the way throughout the process.

Best Attorney in Tampa

Due to some self negligence, I found myself in a rough spot with the law. Upon consulting with a few attorneys, I decided Brian was my best choice. Brian was extremely professional, communicative, and very easy to deal with through the whole process. With my circumstances, I feel as though Brian got ...me a result that I could only hope for. I strongly recommend Brian for any attorney needs if you find yourself in a hard spot like I did.

Great attorney

Brian Palacios represented me during one of the most difficult and stressful times of my life. Of note, upon our first meeting I could tell he had thoroughly reviewed all the paperwork that I had supplied him, asking pertinent and relevant questions, which immediately helped put me at ease. I was com...pletely unfamiliar with how the court system worked as I had never been involved in anything litigious before. Brian was there every step of the way, explaining the process to me and keeping me updated with each new development. He was available to me day or night, 24/7 via text or call. Brian was aggressive and extremely competent in the court room and I felt thankful to have him on my side. He was consistently able to predict the other side’s next steps and counter them. He was very knowledgeable and although I was anxious throughout the process, having Brian right there next to me the whole time made me feel better. Also important to note during Covid times, all of my hearings were done via Zoom. Brian navigated this with ease, presenting all of my evidence electronically in a very methodical and structured way. His organization was an asset that was very much appreciated. After 4 grueling hours in the courtroom, Brian was able to win my injunction case and get me the protection I needed. I hope to never need his services again, but if I do I feel much more comfortable knowing that I have him if I do.

Sealed My Case!

If you are in need of a 2nd chance in life because of your charge, I most definitely recommend to you Attorney Brian Palacios! He was straight-forward from the very beginning; really great at explaining everything and helping with the entire process of sealing my theft case. He could always be reache...d via phone or email on any day and at any time. Very professional, punctual, organized, and treated me as his client like an actual valuable human being versus the ugly criminal stigma the theft charge had hovering over my name. He reviewed all the paperwork with me, line for line, and hand-delivered it to the courts in a very timely fashion. At the end of it all, he won my case (my case is now sealed) so that I may happily move on with my life and finally be able to pursue my life goals that have been stagnant due to my charge.

To receive outstanding service, I fully trust and highly recommend Brian Palacios.
