Helped me out of a terrible situation, then helped again

This Man Mr. Brian Palacios Esq came recommended to me by a professional I trust, his exact words “you won’t find a better lawyer in Tampa”. I was very nervous dealing with him because I didn’t know him but I put my full trust in him and with my record, old record 11 years since my last conviction,... I do not feel he could have done any better. My advice to you is listen to him thoroughly, I made the mistake of misunderstanding one small but significant detail and had to pay for this mistake two fold, so please listen carefully. He is a man of few words over the phone and will not sugar coat or hold your hand but I do believe that he has your best interest at heart and when you have the chance to speak to him in person, he becomes a whole different person, VERY well spoken and knowledgeable and you will not feel rushed. I do believe that his phone time is limited due to the fact that I/you/we are not his only clients and it’s imperative for him to be brief if he is to communicate with each client which I will say from my experience he does, I was never passed off to a secretary or paralegal not that it would bother me if necessary, I just get the feeling he likes to be in control of his process so that no stone is unturned. Would I hire him again? The answer is yes, and infact I did for a misunderstood mistake that was completely my fault. Brian if you read this, you have my respect and gratitude. I hope you know you are appreciated

quick and efficient

Brian is experienced and knows what he is doing. When I called him, he responded right away and was able to answer all my questions and guide me through the upcoming events. I am a flight attendant and Brian was great in communicating with the court and excusing my absence, due to my work.

Brian is the best

Brian is an excellent attorney and was on top of every fact in my case, providing me transparent and the best guidance in order to resolve my case as quickly as possible. I could not be more thrilled and happy with the result. He is honest and direct with a structured/organized approach and gameplan,... exhibiting top tier professionalism. He went the extra mile for me, and would treat any of his other clients just the same. Thanks so much, Brian!

  • 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.
