Brian R. Laxton

Brian did a great job representing me through the process of Character and Fitness with the Michigan Bar. He was always prepared and knew what was necessary to help me prepare for the district committee hearing to ensure that I would receive a positive recommendation. He understood my case file insi...de and out and knew how to handle every detail. He paid close attention to my case as it went through the different committees up to the Board of Law Examiners and made sure that I was being represented appropriately.

I retained Mr. Laxton for representation in a Character & Fitness matter before the State Bar of Michigan. Mr. Laxton came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation. He was knowledgeable in the applicable facts and procedure and proved a zealous and articulate advocate. Moreover, he was al...ways available to answer any and all questions and, on a personal level, was able to put me at ease on several occasions during a very stressful and lengthy process. I also found his fees completely reasonable considering the length of time and effort required. Ultimately, his representation proved successful and I would, without reservation, recommend Mr. Laxton to any attorney or prospective attorney in need of representation in ethical or bar admission matters.

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
