Brian R. Laxton

I retained Mr. Laxton to handle my issues with regard to the Character and Fitness process with the State Bar. The minute that I hired Mr. Laxton I felt confident that no issue was too big and he acted as both a counselor with regard to my issues as well as my personal concerns. He was able and will...ing to tailor his availability to my schedule and often would prepare with me late into the evening. Mr. Laxton is extremely knowledgeable attorney and is well respected and well known in the community. Thanks to Mr. Laxton, I am now a practicing attorney and I owe much of my success to him.

I was very nervous going into the character and fitness process. I knew that I needed an attorney that would understand my circumstances, who was intimately familiar with the process, and could best prepare me. Brian was the best choice: he provided me with superior quality insight and strategy deriv...ed from years of experience, as well as invaluable peace of mind. I could not have gotten through the process without him!

Not being your average law student, I’m fifty-five years old, I completed law school rather than simply retire from my government job; I knew that there were events in my life that might raise an eyebrow in the Character and Fitness process. Attorney Brian Laxton was recommended to me as someone bo...th knowledgeable about the Character and Fitness process and as understanding that his clients are human beings with all their frailties. When I contacted Mr. Laxton he was prompt in returning my call and after hearing my situation confident in a positive outcome. It was clear that Mr. Laxton was indeed knowledgeable regarding the rules and processes in the Character and Fitness portion of the Bar application. Because of my odd work hours Mr. Laxton made himself available in the evening and on weekends to discuss my questions and our presentation of the facts of my situation. When it was time to appear before the local Character and Fitness committee Mr. Laxton attended the hearing with me to provide support and bring forth pertinent information. I would, without hesitation, recommend Brian Laxton as a very qualified and caring attorney and counselor

Brian was of great assistance in representing me throughout a recent MI Bar Standing Committee Hearing that I had to endure. He was extremely thorough and kept me highly informed throughout the entire process. When I first contacted Brian, I was scared and truly thought that I might never be able to ...practice law within the State of Michigan. Brian was a calming presence, and constantly assured me that I would make it through the process unscathed...and he was right! I strongly recommend Esq Brian R Laxton
