About Brian
Biography
I have represented clients in a broad range of legal matters, including felony and misdemeanor criminal matters, domestic relations, appeals, and civil litigation.
Service to clients, and to the legal profession, is the hallmark of a strong attorney. I am always available to answer your questions or to provide consultation. I will return your calls promptly, and when you call, you will get to speak directly to an attorney. I will work to keep you informed of your case, and will look at every case and matter from your perspective.
The law is complex, and you need an attorney who will work diligently on your behalf. If I am privileged to represent you, I will help you navigate our legal system, and work to achieve the results you are looking for.
When the world is on your shoulders, I’ve got your back. Aggressive Defense.

Replied last July 02, 2019I am sorry you feel that way about my representation of you. I have always sought, throughout my 10+ years of practice, to give the best possible representation to all of my clients, while also fulfilling my ethical obligations to the court system. I have also always been completely transparent in my billing practices, including by providing an itemized statement to each client. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about the fee and how my time spent on your case would be billed. Please feel free to give me a call at (330) 701-1750 so that we can discuss any issues or questions you may have.
