Helpful and informative

He was always there and guided me through the process and made it easier to understand what was going on. End result was the best possible outcome

Promise you won't be disappointed

I have hired Brian in a CPS case which then also became a criminal case, which is still ongoing. Brian has gone above and beyond what any attorney I believe would. He has dug into every possible expert and witness he can think of. He goes into the court with a kick ass attitude. He is also a very st...raight forward guy as in he will tell you what he really thinks, and does not give false hope. Going into a CPS case with the only option they give you is termination, he was very honest with me and has fought for my children like they were his own. He answers my questions anytime and is always reassuring me, because well these are my kids and I'm sure I can get a little "needy". If you are facing a CPS or criminal charge, I would definitely hire Brian, you will get professionalism, and someone who really is there to fight for you. My idea of attorneys has always been they just want money, and are half ass, I can definitely say that is NOT the case with Brian. I would recommend him to anyone.

High Ratings For Brian Jean

We recently met with Brian Jean regarding updating our wills and medical power of attorney. He was patient with all of our questions and concerns, answering them in ways that we could understand. Brian treated us with respect and professionalism and his fee was very reasonable. We wouldn't hesi...tate to recommend him to others for their legal needs and concerns.

Posted by Joe | April 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional and easy to work with

I hired Brian after I received a speeding ticket. He was very friendly and didn’t sound like he was reading a script with the questions he was asking. He engages with his clients. He took my ticket and then contacted me when my court date was scheduled. When I showed up for court I was nervous and st...ressing ready to go into the room and I got up to go in but he had already taken care of everything on my behalf. It was the easiest experience I have ever had with an attorney, even just for a traffic offense. Would definitely work with him again.

DO NOT HIRE!!!

Horrible, horrible attorney! He doesn't care to help. He will see trustworthy & reliable at first, but it doesn't last! Very manipulative & a huge liar! Does the smallest amount of work nessessary & won't look over paperwork until at the court house. Makes a fool of you & him self. Had no idea what w...e were even going to court for. Is obviously stuck in his own head when his clients talk to him. Everything goes in one ear & out the other. Brian Jean is much too stuck up to listen to anything anyone else has to say. He gets your money, makes you pay more fees (that should come out of retainer) & keeps delaying giving you a bill in hopes you'll give up after asking 20 times so he can keep what he should have to refund! Doesn't care if you're a good person trying to pretect & support your family alone, because at least he gets $2,000 for telling BS & showing up at court house (late.)

Replied last January 13, 2018

Sadly, this client had unrealistic expectations in the custody case, which couldn't be changed with reason. I continuously explained that the case was not an easy win, and that the facts did not fully support sole custody. I believe that such unrealistic expectations are reflected as such in the star reviews I was given here. To suggest that I had no idea what the court hearing was about is absolute nonsense, as I was hired for a custody matter. It is typical that when a custody hearing is held, the parties will attempt to mediate the case, which is what was done here. The client then agreed to a custody arrangement, which they later regretted. This is another reason why this client simply had unrealistic expectations of the case. As to an allegation that I did not provide a bill; I provided the bill at the beginning of the month, as per agreement. Interestingly, there was no refund to be had. In fact, it was the opposite. I was owed money. I strive everyday to provide straightforward and honest representation to clients, including informing them when I believe they do not have a good case. Sometimes, people want to take their chances, and the results sometimes don't end up where they want them. To suggest that I am at fault for that is disingenuous.
