Great attorney and outcome!

Brian represented me in a car accident case where I was struck by a drunk driver in Birmingham, Alabama in 2012. He worked tirelessly on the case, which stretched on for over 2 years due to delays outside of his control. Throughout the whole process, Brian was professional, communicative, responsive,... helpful time conscious, prepared and proactive in taking the case to completion. At the end of the case, Brian negotiated a generous settlement offer, leaving me very pleased with his work. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney!

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.
