My Disability Lawyer

Brian worked with me for over three years to get me my Social Security Benefits. He took my case when other lawyers told me I would not win. No only did I win but I received my back pay. He belived in me and my case. I can't reccomend him enough.

Joel Hargis

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am happy to endorse this lawyer. I have known Brian for years. We attended Max Gardner's Bankruptcy Coot Camp at Max's farm in North Carolina. In fact, we sat next to each other. Brian impressed me with not only his knowledge of the law, but also his disgust at how the financial and lending sector takes advantage over everyday folks. He is a topnotch attorney and person. Kentucky would do well to fill its bar with attorneys like Brian."

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.
