Amazing and easy experience

I was t boned in an accident and could not get into a doctor for a month to look at my back injuries. Brian made a phone call and got me in 48hours. Such an easy process from start to finish. I will reccomend him to everyone I possibly can. He was with me in every step of the way in my lawsuit

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.
