Brian R. Laxton

Hiring Brian to assist me in my character and fitness hearing was the best choice I could have made. He is experienced and knowledgeable. He was always available to take my calls and answer questions. He made the whole process less scary. Brian went above and beyond anything a lawyer should do in ord...er to help me obtain my license. Afree my hearing, I received a unanimous decision. The outcome can only be attributed to Brian's efforts and experience.

After I took the bar exam, I was called for a district committee hearing regarding my character and fitness. I had a tough panel, which did not recommend me for the Bar. Brian made sure that we would succeed at the standing committee level. He spent several late nights with me preparing for my hearin...gs. In the end, he helped me hit a grand slam at a standing committee hearing, I was recommended to the Bar, and I ultimately got my license. Brian knows the ins and outs of the esoteric character and fitness process and his knowledge and skill proved to be invaluable. I can't recommend him enough to those who find themselves in a similar position.

When I learned that I failed the bar exam by 2 points I was devastated. I was immediately referred to Brain by a friend who Brian had helped to successfully overcome a Character and Fitness issue. I quickly learned that Brian's expertise is not only that of C&F issues, but bar exam appeals as well. H...e walked me through every step of the appeal process with compassion and skill. Brian was honest and forthright about the uncertainty of filing bar exam appeals, but I knew that there would be no lack of effort on his part to present a strong, compelling argument to the Board of Law Examiners. Brian did just that! Brian is authentic, professional, incredibly understanding, and without a doubt an amazing attorney. Hiring Brian was the best decision I have ever made! Today I am a practicing attorney with the State Bar of Michigan because of Brian 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.
