Brian R. Laxton

Though I've practiced law for years now in another state, moving to Michigan meant opening a new can of worms. I needed to find the right attorney to represent me for the Character and Fitness process. After doing the research and speaking with several attorneys, I chose Brian. Why?

Beyond being - far and away - the most relatable person, Brian took the time to get to know me and my story inside out. He identified every key issue that needed to be addressed, and worked with me to prepare thoughtful narrative explanations flushing out several sticky issues. Throughout the process, Brian kept me apprised of what was to come and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. He took my calls and responded to emails the same day. Brian's knowledge of the Character and Fitness process is palpable; and having frequent cases before the Board of Law Examiners gives him a leg up.

Now, only months later, I am admitted to the Michigan Bar. Brian's involvement in my case was, without a doubt, a major factor in ensuring the successful outcome. I am extremely satisfied with Brian's representation and would recommend him to my family, friends and colleagues.

Mr. Laxton has now represented me on multiple occasions regarding a DLAD License Restoration and Appeal, and also the Character and Fitness process of the State Bar of Michigan. In each instance, he was courteous, respectful, knowledgeable, approachable, and effective. He was very skilled at preparing me for each hearing, and helped me build confidence.

Thanks to his help and knowledge of each of the processes involved with the representation, we achieved incredible results. I highly recommend Mr. Laxton for those seeking representation. He helped me feel prepared, confident, and helped set fair and reasonable expectations for each situation.

Brian was forthright, organized, and thorough in his approach to my case, and respectful and personable in his approach to me. In choosing an attorney to represent me in for the Michigan Character and Fitness process, I researched and spoke with several attorneys and ultimately chose Brian to handle my case. I am extremely satisfied with his representation and would recommend him to all of my friends and family. Brian worked with me to identify every key issue in my case that needed to be addressed. His keen eye and diligence was pivotal in understanding what to expect as the case progressed. His involvement in my case was, without a doubt, a major factor in ensuring the best possible outcome. If there is one thing you should take away from my review: don't wait--get Brian--it will be well worth it.
