Brian R. Laxton

I actually chose to hire Brian based on the reviews I found on Avvo. Brian helped guide me through a four-year journey into the Character and Fitness process, including preparing my application to face all of my issues head-on. At every hearing, Brian showed up extremely well-prepared, knew the fa...cts of my case and even found helpful things in my file that I had overlooked or forgotten about. He was a zealous advocate at my hearings and the end result was admission to the State Bar. Thank you for everything Brian, I don't think it would have been possible without your representation and counseling.

Brian represented me years ago during my attempt to become a Michigan attorney. That time was one of the most difficult times in my life. Brian took the time get to know me, my story, and was my strong advocate through the whole process. I was very impressed right from the start. All the attorney...s that we went in front of had high praise of him. Brian, if you are reading this - thank you, thank you, thank you. You helped me change the direction of my life and for that I will be forever grateful! I have much respect for you! To anyone who needs as attorney in Brians area of practice - find and hire him - you will not be disappointed!

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 bein...g - 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.
